Michael most of us have a smattering of knowledge about structure and condition but I think it would be great if you could offer some solutions that could be offered to a seller that would not break the bank.

What a great question!  There are so many answers rolling around in my mind, it's hard to pick just a few.  

I like anecdotes that lead to a point;  preferably examples of things you have found that confounded you or were funny on the surface, but dangerous or stupid things homeowners/contractors have done - leading to a discussion of what was wrong/right in a particular scenario.  What things alarm you most when doing a home inspection. What are the most common things you see?  How would you like clients and agents to behave during a home inspection?  Let you do the inspection first then go over salient points? There is so much!

I think that most just want to have regular reminders and your card nearby to hand out.

Now that pot is legal in my state, that gets everyone's attention. Legalization really does have issues that affect real estate. Mold can form. Houses can burn down from do it yourself wiring. But I know this won't help you. I know mold is still a hot topic in my area, and so is asbestos because of all the older buildings we have.

Hi Michael - there are so many different topics, and I agree with Joan Cox, that maybe something very unusual would be of interest. I do learn at every single home inspection I attend.

Michael, probably the strange things you find that are not normally visible.
