Do you attend your home inspections… or are you skipping one of the most important parts of the transaction?
In this episode, we're sitting down with home inspector Whit Green to talk about everything agents need to know about inspections—from what actually happens during an inspection to how you can better serve your clients by simply showing up.
Because here's the thing: inspections are where you learn. Not just about the house, but about how to guide your clients, manage expectations, and understand what really matters (and what doesn't).
We're diving into what makes a great inspector, how to find one, and why your relationship with your inspector can make or break your client experience.
Plus, we're sharing real stories—from attic animals 😳 to shocking (literally) inspection moments—and what agents should and should NOT be doing during inspections.
If you've ever wondered how to better navigate this part of the transaction… this episode is a must-listen.
