Home inspectors can differentiate AND help homeowners - Shannon Bloemker, Ep. 128

Do you offer a home energy assessment as part of your inspection? Shannon Bloemker makes a great case for why you should consider this.
Shannon is the founder and CEO of Energy Raven, a home energy assessment that helps homebuyers see how the home uses energy and where they can save. She and Kevin get into:
- Home energy assessments
- New tax rebates and why they matter
- How little a home inspection costs relative to the rest of the real estate transaction (and how to get that number up!)
- Whether or not the home inspection should be required
- The home inspection as education

I ve heard a few of these Spectora podcasts, very informative, and I learn something each time. Thank you. Question about the home inspector and them being the goto for contractors and the professionals that can maintain or repair items in the home. What about certain States standards of ethics that say a home inspector is not supposed to refer contractors for issues they note in their reports? It's thought to be a conflict of interest, no? I'd love to have a rolodex of preferred contractors I trust to hand out during the home inspection, but I was under the impression that's not acceptable. Would love to hear you thoughts on that.
