September 2004 marks the Tenth Anniversary
for Alban Home Inspection Service.
Ten years of home inspecting. Over
25,000 home and environmental inspections.
Over 100 of these newsletters. Outstanding
service to Realtors and their clients.
Personally, I have had the opportunity to perform
over 5000 home inspections, teach at
least 300 continuing educations classes for
Realtors and home inspectors, and had one of my ideas, a
standardized form to respond
to the home inspection contingency
by giving notice of property condition
clause deficiencies and negotiating
only none-covered deficiencies, adopted
by the GCAAR form committee for all
GCAAR members. I am truly flattered about
that.
Furthermore, I write a twice-monthly article entitled
Ask Mr. Home Inspector for the Gazette
Newspapers, an article in the Frederick
County Association of Realtors’ monthly
newsletter, a column in this
|
newsletter
and perform as co-host with Donna
Evers, Broker, on our weekly, hour long radio
program ’Real Estate Today, now broadcasted
at 50,000 watts from Baltimore to
Richmond, Annapolis to Hagerstown. These
past ten years certainly have been productive
for me personally and for Alban Home
Inspection Service as a company.
I call myself "Your Humble Home Inspector"
at the opening of the radio program
each week. It sounds cute, but the support
I have receive on all sides these past ten
years truly humbles me. I am appreciative
and wish to take this opportunity
to say to all, "Thank you!" Thanks
to Sandy Watkins, Alban’s General Manager,
who suggested the idea of starting the
home inspection company in the first place.
To Terry Toms, our bookkeeper, Gretchen
Wright, our scheduling secretary, Melissa
Brois, our marketing director, and Mandy
and Tina who shuffle paperwork all day,
thanks for your outstanding performance.
Thanks also to my colleagues, our
home inspectors. George Ash, Rudy Rudacil,
Robert Montiel, Marty Blackwood, Lee
Eyler and Rodney Shull are dedicated to their
clients, beyond merely doing work and getting
paid. Each strives to give 110% service
to his clients and their Realtors. And
finally, I want to express a heartfelt THANKS
to the Real Estate Professionals and
to our clients who show their confidence
in the "Alban Way" and who receive
from us outstanding inspections, an in-depth
education about the home and unsurpassed
service. Everyone at Alban pledges
to meet your highest expectations every
day to the best of our ability.
