Essential Guide to Problematic Building Materials for REALTORS®
Help protect and inform your clients.
Homes have histories of their own. Home inspections are important in revealing the whole history of a home, the good and the bad.
REALTORS® aren’t home inspectors, but they’re often first on the scene. That’s why the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) has partnered with Alex Floercke, Director of Education at Home Inspector Training.
In this 75-minute recorded webinar, free to REALTOR® members, Floercke outlines how different building materials can lead to unexpected costs. You’ll also learn strategies to better guide your clients right from the start.
By the end of this webinar, you’ll have greater awareness of how to:
- spot potential signs of foundation decay and damage;
- identify various plumbing materials, including galvanized piping, and understand their impact on property safety and value;
- recognize potential issues related to sewer lines and certain types of electrical systems; and
- be alert to common issues in homes, such as window seal failure, asbestos, and mould, and know when to recommend further professional evaluation.
If this sounds interesting to you, we encourage you to enrol whenever suits you best.
