CALL to ACTION: Support Having Home Inspectors Call a Defect, a Defect

February 14, 2020 by Tracy Johnson

Home inspectors are legally required to inspect the property for defects as defined in statute but don’t have to call those conditions a defect in their report.

Think that’s strange? We agree.

AB 655/ SB 599 requires a home inspector to label in the inspection report items identified as a defect during the home inspection and to include a summary page in the report.

By clicking the link below ask your legislator to support AB 655/ SB 599 having a home inspector call a defect, a defect. We ask for your action no later than February 21st, 2020.

Support having home inspectors call a defect, a defect

CONTACT YOUR LEGISLATOR NOW*

*note that the letter is written and formatted and ready to go!

Your engagement is vital to our efforts.  More than 16,000 members throughout the State are participating in this campaign.  Help CARW and WRA move your legislators on this effort by completing the CALL TO ACTION.

Sincerely,

Joseph F. Lak, Jr. | Colliers International
2019/20 CARW Chairman
