Boulder & Longmont Area Realtors

Home Inspectors regularly come in contact with Real Estate professionals: Brokers, Agents, and Realtors.  Realtors are members of the National Association of Realtors and must meet strict professional and ethical standards.

We recommend that our clients retain a buyer’s agent.  Having your own buyer’s agent will ensure that you have a Real Estate professional dedicated to your side of the transaction, as opposed to an agent that is working in what is referred to as ‘Dual Agency’, where the seller’s agent also represents the buyer.  While legal, we believe this practice constitutes a clear conflict of interest, as the realtor in this situation has a primary fiduciary duty to the seller.  Each side of the transaction should have its own Realtor representation.  Home Inspectors, by law, have a fiduciary responsibility to their clients (just like Doctors, Lawyers, and Accountants).  

Some Realtors are more interested in selling you a house than selling you a home that is a good fit for you.  We don’t recommend them.  A great Realtor will want you to know the condition of the house you are planning to buy, and work with the home inspector to help you fully understand the full picture- assets, concerns, and everything in between.

Here are some web links and contacts for Realtors we have worked with personally, know, and can fully recommend.  These Realtors have consistently demonstrated the professionalism and integrity we admire, and we have no hesitation in referring them to our family, friends, and clients.
