My company has used Buildfax for the last 2 weeks. Everyone has been very impressed. The realtors want to know how they can get the information, the buyers are very appreciative and interested in the history of the home they are purchasing. I’m inspecting a home in the morning that has 14 permit records spanning from 1977-2002. I’ll keep you posted on my feedback from Realtors and buyers. By the way, it takes about 30 seconds to get the information.

We were just trying it out for 2 weeks just to see what kind of a response we get. We got a better response than we anticipated. We have been talking about going up in price anyway and feel that this will be great timing. We go up in prices every couple of years trying to stay ahead of the competition. For the first few months afterwards our clients like to complain. We usually tell them we did it because we feel like it. It will be nice to point out to them that we are now including the buildfax reports in our current inspection report.

Guys,
We've pretty much finalized our plan to expedite the process of adding new coverage areas. I'll keep everyone up to date. Needless to say, we're just as anxious as everyone else to launch new areas.

I’ll keep you updated. I used Buildfax again today. This was the 3rd inspection I have conducted for this buyer. Each have been over $800. I gave her the buildfax report and told her that I was including this free of charge since she had given me so much business. She was thrilled with the information. She is the type who eats this kind of information up. There were 14 permits pulled on her home since 1977. I should also mention that her Realtor informed me today that he sold $34 million last year. He was very impressed as well and asked if I could look up information on his home. I told him gladly. That’s also a nice plus.
