You’re a good Realtor by paying for the home inspection yourself. That says a lot to me. EVERYONE SHOULD GET A HOME INSPECTION BEFORE THEY CLOSE ❗️ Thank you Troy for another great video today. Blessings, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸

it takes filling out a matchbook cover to become a home inspector, so base your sale on that

Thank you for informative video. I know lots of people prefer new homes but having grown up on Miami Beach with older homes (mostly 1930's to 1960s), there is just no comparison to quality and architecture. God bless.

Really, a wooden home in Florida? What could go wrong? This is very shoddy work. A week before closing and blatant problems and looking like cheap materials as well. How much is this home?

Good video. Remember, insurance companies are fleeing the state. Do your due diligence.

That is insane that a house needs air conditioning even if no one is living in it so the materials don’t expand or contract because of the heat.

I used to own a vacation home in Miami Beach, and may consider doing it again in the future. This was very interesting and informative....

I’m reminded of what someone told me sometime ago here in dah northeast USA-between rehab brick home & new construction, buy rehab.

My bestfriend was a realtor in beverlyhills. such a tough job. Great job bro

Home inspectors are a necessary evil. Most are clueless and the fact that this one didn’t want to be videoed, says a lot. What does he have to hide if he’s a competent inspector?

All homes in florida should be block homes. I can't for the life of me understand whey they build top with wood and at the price of wood today, Block makes way more sense. Even in Puerto Rico most home are Blocks or Fabricated Cement Slabs which are Solid, But those are usually older homes. " They Just Don't Make Things The Way They Used To"

My house is wood frame built in 1920 in St. Pete Florida then moved to land o lakes Florida. It will last longer than any block homes built in the last 10 years. The new construction work is so shoddy and they use subpar materials. Most of them have failing paint and stucco within the first 2 years.

Yeah no doubt , spalling concrete driveways etc in the first 6 months. These are cardboard houses slapped together in 90 days or less. Spray painted with grass slapped on sand. If you like paying top dollar to live in a pos have fun. People are stupid. Like DR Horton comes to mind. If you purchase a DR Horton home New or used....you got ripped off. Regardless of what you paid.

I likes the follow up days after closing but I would to have listened to what exactly was the issues and how it got solved.

Good point - I had to be careful on what I shared. The basic story was builder was not as agreeable to what needed to be done, prior to closing, yet it was resolved as I was involved representing the buyer.

I reached out to your office because I am interested in purchasing a house in Central Florida and they blew me off. They wouldn't even pick up the phone to call me!

DR Horton is a POS builder. I would never buy one of their homes. They have countless class action lawsuits against them for mold and construction defects. Especially in Louisiana. But I must say you did a good job representing the buyer.

THIS. DR Horton houses tend to not have a straight edge anywhere on it. Spalling concrete driveways, foundations not poured correctly. Once you get above the foundation it's hard to find anything of value. Oh shiny granite counters built on cardboard with uneven floors.

Great advice ,Good to see we still have good Realtors and in most cases home inspectors

Oh my, the elevation of those homes is way too common.

New homes in Florida have a lot of potential issues, most consumers are not aware of until after they move in (and its too late to resolve with the builder).

Sorry for you and your client but DR Horton sucks! The gaping holes around the outlets and no functioning HVAC speaks for itself and low-quality build! Who knows what problems you can't see behind the walls and under the floor. I, personally, would not by a DR Horton built house.

Inspections are bull. They can't move anything, can't look behind to actually inspect. They can only visualize what me and you can. They don't go through the codes training and so on. It really is a false sense of security. My new build was supported by osb shims and not metal shims per codes. How did the codes dept sign off on it, and how did the inspector miss it as well??

Is it possible not to close until everything is all done, all the little and big things not completed at time of closing, as after builder gets your money and closing done, I've heardthey don't bother or drag any fix ups later, they figure there,re done with you and don't wanna waste time anymore

A house has to get a Certificate of Occupancy before closing, that is much different than a Home Inspection.

Do not buy know . Prices will re set 6-12 months from now

What did the home inspector find that not any NORMAL person walking through that home would obviously see? I get that this buyer is out of state but please explain to me what during this home inspection you could not see obviously if you walked through yourself. That one wall didnt need to be RE-PAINTED it was never pained. The toilet closet was freaking entirely missing the door. I can tell you my current home I was provided a home inspection from a previous buyer that fell through but when I walked through with my agent they told me all the things the inspector was wrong about. You as an agent should be knowledgable. Like no insulation above lanai... duh home inspector its outside, same with porch. Home inspector claimed no access panel for jetted tub.. it was there, it was on the outside of the house which makes more sense based on where it was. My agent pointed out that these were MISTAKES made by the previous home inspector. Also your previous video there was some pretty disturbing stuff like his supposed supported fan box where it looked like they cut that 2 x4 that was the "support". I had never seen a plastic fan box either. We have installed multiple fan boxes on our 1 story home from the attic ourselves they have always been metal and they have cross braces that are metal. Nothing about that box looked like a fan box. It even looked like 2 windows in your walk through had failed (condensation if it was actually between the panes, it was hard to tell on the video). Most inspectors are a joke.

Politics keeps out of Florida. There is no amount of money you could pay me to move there.
