Sad to think Carson Dunlop were once considered innovators in our profession. Overpriced yes, but good stuff nonetheless.

I wonder if this means that any house mortgages provided by Co-operators will require a home inspection performed by a NPI/Global/Carson Dunlop franchise??? Darn, maybe I shouldn’t have sold my NPI franchise years ago…
