[quote=sdrealtor]Yes I mean the RPA. If you want to buy something that is what you are expected to use. The seller wants all that detail to evaluate your offer relative to the others they would receive. If you wont complete one, you will have a very hard time buying anything. The one exception would buying something directly from an owner with no agents involved.[/quote]

The other thing I would add to Dave’s remark here is that you might be well served by having an agent look over your contract and let you know what he or she thinks of it. This is true whether or not there is an agent involved at all and whether or not you use a CAR RPA.

My two bits

[quote=ybitz]Have you guys heard of the use of thermal imaging during inspection to find water leaks?

Useful or just a gimmick?[/quote]

While I do always prefer to err on the side of using a 10,000 dollar device, I would not consider it to a be an important feature.

A: IR scanners are good for finding new or invisible wetness (like if you had a sink over flow while you were on vacation and wanted to know if the drywall needs replacing) but don’t give much info beyond that.

B: Wetness left unchecked with mold after a few days. If there is enough mold to have an effect, then it will be detectable in other ways (like smell).

My two bits.

I have been shamed.
