Certified Dry Certified Moisture Testing 

More real estate professionals are encouraging home buyers to invest in a home moisture inspection before purchasing a property. Additionally, a growing number of agents are even suggesting pre-listing inspections to sellers. The reason is simple – a quality real estate inspection by a reputable experienced inspection company is an advantage to everyone involved in a transaction.

Buyers learn about the property up front and can proceed with greater confidence and peace of mind. Furthermore, sellers who’ve had a pre-listing inspection may sell their homes more quickly with fewer surprises. Finally, real estate professionals enjoy more efficient transactions with less chance for unpleasant and potentially costly post-closing problems. A Certified Home Moisture Inspection offers these and other benefits to real estate professionals:

Reduced Liability

CMT is always fully covered with extensive Errors and Omissions insurance and General Liability insurance. We don’t limit the claim amount to only the value of the inspection, as others do.

Less Buyer Discomfort

Whether the property your client is considering is old or new, our professional inspectors help provide peace of mind that the home is live-in ready. Many homebuyers believe that a brand-new home is a worry-free investment, but even the best homebuilders make mistakes, and that’s where CMT can help. Our impartial inspectors can conduct a new home moisture test that may disclose items in need of repair, therefore helping to reduce buyer’s remorse after the purchase.

Professional Image and Credibility

A professional CMT inspection report helps lend credibility and stature to the image of the real estate professional. It can tell customers that the firm and its sales associates are working in the best interests of both buyers and sellers. By using the experience of CMT, you know the results will be accurate. If problems are found, CMT has the experience, knowledge and programs to keep complicated deals together.

More Sales

The home is priced closer to its value, which can help improve the speed and likelihood of a sale.

Less Negotiation

Prior acknowledgement of any defects that are already reflected in the sales price may often leave buyers with fewer objections.

Reduce Listing Time

A home moisture inspection benefits all parties involved by providing insight into the condition of the home, thereby helping to reduce the overall listing time of your client’s property. CMT's Certified Dry Program helps provide a more accurate depiction of a home’s condition, and allows everyone to become more familiar with the property. This may help your listings sell faster and closer to the asking price. For more information about this program, visit our Certified Dry Page.

“I just had to call you and thank you so much for all your help. I wanted to let you know I got my check today from the insurance company. They are working on my house and exactly where we did the cuts and where you did all the testing is where the damage was. They had to rebuild under the windows and the kickout area was really bad, just like you said it would be. We are proceeding here. I really appreciate all your help thank you so much. I’m passing your name around and I’m going to say something at our sales meeting on Tuesday.”
