Chris Carbone, Renew Restoration - “If it Smells Better, It Sells Better!”

Have you ever listed a gorgeous home in a desirable neighborhood with all the appointed amenities but when your prospects walk through, all they can do is turn up their nose when they inhale the prevalent dog odor?  Or perhaps the current owners have had pack-a-day cigarette habit these past 20 years and every square inch of the home smells like Marlboro Menthols? This talk is filled with the science and the technology aspects of removing stubborn odors but will be equal parts entertaining, insightful and eye-opening.  The end result: you will have the knowledge and ammunition to take on any home that previously went unsold due to its noxious elements.

Michael Mulholland, Caveate Emptor Home Inspectors - “How to Survive a Home Inspection (And Keep the Deal Together!)”

You got together with buyer. You found the right house. They found the right lender and lawyer. An offer was put in and accepted.  Now it now hinges on the Home Inspection. That 3 hours can make or break the whole deal apart. This presentation will cover what to expect on a typical home inspection and review the NJ standards of practice and how to make the process run smoothly for both buyer and seller. A 100-page manual, “Now that you've had a Home Inspection” will be provided to all attendees.
