Description

When inspecting a home before purchasing, it's obviously very important to check the foundation's integrity. That's why we hire inspectors. But should you rely on your home inspection report to correctly identify the issues? Our guest today says, no, it's not enough. You need to know the tell-tale signs of foundation damage that would signal the need for further inspection, and then you need to know who to call. But how do you make sure you can get it all done within the homebuyers short inspection window of time? In this episode, you'll hear from foundation repair expert RK Bob Brown whose mission it is to shed light on what he describes as an "opaque industry." He joins me on The Real Wealth Show as part of his effort to teach home buyers how to recognize the red flags for foundation problems. He talks about what homeowners should look for, when and who to call for a more accurate and in-depth evaluation, and why you need to pay attention to soil conditions. He earned the nickname "The Dirt Whisperer" because he knows a lot about "dirt." He is also a real estate investor who shares his rags to riches story with me in this interview. Bob has more than 35 years of experience. He's a certified Foundation Repair Specialist by NFRA and is LEED accredited, among other accreditations. He founded Arizona Foundation Solutions in 1989 which he says was one of the only foundation repair companies to use licensed professional engineers. He sold the company last year to focus on speaking and writing, and is publishing a book this fall called Foundation Repair Secrets: Learn How to Protect Yourself and Save Thousands. He has also developed software that helps streamline home foundation investigations.
