I would not buy a house that way, but suspect there will be some who might

I suppose it could be done subject to physical verification when practicable, perhaps with some funds left in escrow to cover possible repair needs. This is what we sometimes do in the winter when air conditioning or pool systems cannot be properly tested. This way transactions can close without delays.

????. someone still needs to tight-wire the rafters and crawl the space between the piers.

"That's not the power panel. It's the back of the bee box!"

Maybe the VHI helper from the contractions lot at Home Depot isn't the right labor pool.

R.Weeks will have endless events to share if this catches on.

I think that would be great not to mention you can 're-live' the inspection experience! How bonkers is that!

Play the grandkids the inspection video Myrtle .....

I could never advise my clients to go that route.

I know it wouldn't be acceptable to me and if it's not good enough for me, it's not good enough for my clients!

That is a new one, and would definitely not recommend!    If the inspectors were licensed, would the insurance carriers drop them?

That is an interesting concept, it is impossible to inspect a home without seeing and touching. Bt if the report is being down over facetime, then maybe. But as a buyer, i want to be there to see everything, even if 6 feet away

I applaud the effort as opposed to those that doing nothing. We can hold funds in escrow for anything missed not to exceed X amount. Now is the time to show-off more than having a license. Results is the name of the current game. Show me what you got!
