Down To Earth

Selling my house and the buyer called these guys for a pest inspection. I was not able to be home due to work but working as a building inspector myself I already knew every single issue affecting my home at least I thought I did. When I arrived home I found a list of things that were supposedly «wrong» which included «toilets loose in both bathrooms» and many more clearly fraudulent made up issues. one being a claim that the sky light leaks another clear lie. The really funny one was the claim that the vapor barrier put by code under my manufactured home to mitigate radon gas and moisture emissions was «put there by others to help retard condensation» yes you read that right the report isn’t even spelled correctly! The real problem is apparently this company does their own repairs, isn’t that a conflict of interest? An inspection outfit that «finds problems» then you pay THEM to fix the problems THEY FOUND? This inspector was nice enough to offer to repair my «loose toilets» for $ 79 dollars each I also was told my water heater was not braced properly (strapped in three locations) but for a fee they could fix that for me. At this point the buyer is reluctant due to this fraud report and using it to get me to drop my price even more. There were some dry rot issues that were real but over half the report was just to drum up business for their repair guys, it almost seemed like the buyer knew someone at this company but then I realized they repair their own findings isn’t that like being able to give myself a raise? Not sure what my next step is to get this fraud report off my MLS.
