Inspections: Saving the Deal #112102-In Video: Module 2

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Jessica Martinez of Arrow Home Inspections explains how changing post-COVID real estate conditions make inspection issues a bigger barrier to closing. She outlines a webinar for agents on reading reports, writing inspection objections, and advocating for clients. Topics include 2026 code updates, new gas furnace ENERGY STAR standards, window well cover rules, solar and EV readiness requirements, and misinformation about gas stove bans. She also covers the ongoing PEX plumbing lawsuit, warning that brass fittings, not PEX itself, are the concern. The session aims to help agents reduce transaction delays, understand defects, and navigate negotiation and psychology during inspections.
