Could Ohio's real estate market be on the verge of a significant shift? That's the question Jim and the office goddess Laura wrestle with in a candid discussion on the latest from the home inspector board meetings. As we peel back the curtain, we examine the contentious proposal for additional Continuing Education (CE) credit for in-person classes and dissect why some board members, including ourselves, are raising eyebrows. The meat of the discussion, however, centers on the ethical quagmire of sharing home inspection reports with non-clients, a practice that could be in for a rude awakening under new licensing laws.

Amidst the routine yet critical rule revisions and CE chatter, the podcast takes a sharp turn into the legal labyrinth of home inspection reports. Breaking down the implications for professional responsibility and client confidentiality, we shine a spotlight on why home inspectors are up in arms about their work being passed around like a hot potato. Listen as Laura brings her characteristic insight to the ramifications of such practices, not just for inspectors but for the unsuspecting buyer B who might be getting more than they bargained for. This episode isn't just a mere discussion; it's a call to attention for anyone with a stake in Ohio's real estate game.
