The real estate market isn't doing so bad that we have to directly compare real estate sales to used car sales. I really don't appreciate this tactic. Marketing is fine, but other agents call this type of program the "smooth move" program or "no worry home purchase". It's not new, but is just a different name. Semantics do matter. People saw homes and the equity in as things to be traded, bought, sold and discounted like stock or used cars. Now our nation is in a crisis.

Anything anyone can do to spin OLD in a NEW way should be given credit and encouragement, I think. Otherwise, we might just as well knock down a house when it's time for the current family to move out and rebuild new all the time. Isn't this taking built-in obsalessence to a ridiculous height?

Zip should try succeeding in the real estate brokerage business before they try their hand at home inspections. The liability they incur with such a program, to say nothing of the liability they put on their seller clients, is astounding. When will people learn that it is competitive pricing, not gimmicks, which sells houses? I agree with the ASHI home inspector.
