How To Go Completely Paperless:

How To Go Completely Paperless:

• ·         Get a Tablet such as an I-Pad;  http://www.apple.com/ipad/
• ·         Grab an app called Sign and Send; It’s only $4 bucks. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sign-n-send/id395722284?mt=8 Utilize this app to upload a PDF or any document such as your Pre-Inspection agreement, WDIIR termite inspection report, Binzer,  and have clients sign onsite right on the screen! Simply send away the doc via text or email, or save as a doc in your library on the tablet itself…
• ·         Accept all major credit cards on site; Download your free app and credit card swiper at “Square Up” https://squareup.com/ , it’s a flat small fee of apx. 2% no matter what card they use. It’s easy and links directly to your bank, receive payments the following day! Send the client their receipt right then and there via text and/or email. It’s more professional, faster and easier than bouncing your clients back and forth with Pay Pal.
• ·         Never print your reports; You probably already send reporting via PDF and email. Adobe PDF conversion is basic and free! Printing on-site takes up time, money, materials, and frustration when low on ink, its hot/cold outside, the home may not have power, the HVAC may not work. You save gasoline by not sitting in your car writing. This is subject to argument however the powerful, high volume inspectors seldom write on site. There are software reporting apps in the works as of this time that help with your reporting as well. We have a proprietary writing software we utilize in house, average report time is 20-30 minutes.
• ·         Accounting; Oh the dreadful accounting, if you are like me and not a seasoned professional CPA, ditch everything you know and utilize “Wave Accounting” http://waveaccounting.com/ , its free, links directly to your bank account and is so simple my teenagers can use it better than me, my accountant for last year was blown away when all I needed to do was send him the link to my account, done.
• ·         Uploading Photos for Onsite Presentation; You can upload your photos to the tablet from your phone, camera, or simply take them with the tablet, we insert our FLIR infrared thermal images as well, its slimmer and not as clunky as throwing a laptop on the kitchen island, plugging it in, inserting SD cards and all of that nonsense.

Additional Ideas Should be Inserted Here;

What REALTORS Should Know About Environmental Disclosure In AZ

Arizona’s House Bill 2779 provides for third party environmental disclosure

reports in real property transactions. The new law takes effect on September

21, 2006. Reports must be based on officially adopted and electronically

posted or otherwise readily available governmental maps or information that

discloses whether the real property is subject to any of the following:

1. FLOOD HAZARDS

2. MILITARY AIRPORTS AND ANCILLARY FACILITIES

3. MILITARY TRAINING ROUTES (AIRSPACE)

4. PUBLIC/PRIVATE AIRPORTS APPROVED BY THE FAA

5. SOILS SUBJECT TO FISSURES

6. EXPANSIVE SOILS

7. SPECIAL TAX ASSESSMENT AREAS

8. RADON GAS POTENTIAL ZONES

9. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD SUPERFUND SITES

GET IT FROM YOUR HOME INSPECTOR PROTECT YOURSELF & YOUR CLIENTS

The good news is that many Arizona inspectors will be trained by

Environmental Data Resources, Inc. (EDR) to provide the EDR Arizona

Disclosure Report. Home inspectors are your trusted source for delivering

information about a property to buyers and sellers in a balanced way. EDRcertified

and trained local home inspectors will have the expertise to answer

questions and deliver environmental disclosure information in a way that does

not raise unnecessary concern.

While the new law does not mandate hazard disclosure reports, it protects

sellers and you, the real estate agent from potential liability. For buyers, an

environmental report is an excellent due diligence tool that enables them to

identify potential environmental conditions on the property and in the surrounding

area that could impact the health and safety of their family or their

investment. Many environmental investigations do not find risks that would kill

a real estate deal. However, think about the implications if you don’t obtain a

report. Environmental disclosure won’t hurt you or your sellers. In fact, it is

more likely to protect all parties involved in the transaction

To get peace of mind and comply with Arizona’s HB 2779, simply contact your

local home inspector and ask for the EDR Arizona Disclosure Report.

I know, This home doesn’t even have a swimming pool.

I know, This home doesn’t even have a swimming pool. But, It did previously have a spa and/or sauna and electrical   components are provided, so if you think you may want to install one keep in mind, Arizona frowns on amateur installed pools and spas with no pool barriers installed (and jail/fines those who do not), so I repeat the following for your children and the neighboring children, that you may need a friggin fence and/or barrier! Or you may be liable! Watch Your Kids Around Water Yo!  I’m sick of inspecting homes every day and hearing the news talk about another child drowning every  summer while I see all these “Professional” Realtors sell and buy homes with-out them! Pony up (it’s only a few hundred bucks) and be safe!

Basement Fire Egress Silly

• Safety: The exterior basement egress grates should be monitored so as to not be hindered or suppressed from stowed        items etc. I encourage the new tenants to participate in a family planned fire emergency escape drill so that all members             are familiar with the escape and lifting of these grates from the interior of the basement, the double locks at these        basement windows are higher than egress should be for children to unlock and escape, leaving the top lock unlocked may     be desirable. Think about it for a moment; To escape, a child must unlock a double locked window they cannot reach, then      open the window, push a screen out, as they climb to the sill, then climb a ladder, and lift a metal grate one handed, all   possibly in the dark of night.
