Pool inspections are essential in real estate but often need to catch up. Data indicates up to 30% of hidden pool problems go unnoticed, risking financial burden for buyers. Wide-ranging inspection costs create uncertainty, with 45% of buyers expressing dissatisfaction. Standardizing pool inspections is crucial to boost trust and protect investments.
"Older pools tend to be built using older code... so we really got to look for those issues."
Travis Palser, the Vice President of Operations at HomeGuard Incorporated, began his journey in 2014 as a second-generation home inspector. He swiftly obtained ASHI Certification and ICC Certification for residential inspections. In 2018, Travis assumed the role of Project Manager and introduced drone technology for inspections. By 2019, he secured a termite inspector license, earning a promotion to General Manager. As the Vice President of Operations, Travis leads with expertise and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
"The biggest thing with pool negotiations is going to be the cost of repairs... Is the pool usable? And is it safe to have in your backyard, especially if you have children?"
"If we have older pool equipment, we have to run it, right? We want to make sure it works, functions, and we need to observe it running, make sure there's no leaks."
"Having Travis Palser on the show truly opened our eyes to the silent, yet pervasive threat of termites. His expertise not only demystifies termite behavior but empowers homeowners with the knowledge to protect their greatest asset. Travis's passion for his field is both inspiring and infectious, making termite inspections seem less like a chore and more like a crucial step in home maintenance."
