  Speaker 1: What goes into a home inspection and who Sometimes, whether
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you like it or not, you got to get one,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and it's part of the part of the deal, isn't it.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Sometimes some lenders require.
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Some of that or no.
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: Well, I would say that depending on the lending. Sometimes
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: praiser will come out and some sort of inspection, but
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: it tends to be an optional thing.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: And it really is more regulated by the market. The
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: market will allow.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Fantastic We'll get into some of the details about what
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: exactly it is and what's in it. It's not in
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the home inspection with those details in just a moment.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: But one of the great things been doing the past
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: few weeks. Is a featured listing. And I look at
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: this and I think, goodness, if only I have to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: talk to the wife after the show, because you have
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: an awesome house featured this week in Janesville on land
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: with several and I'll use the words several out buildings.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about this property on Highway A in Janesville.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Mat Yeah, it's four thousand and five West County Road
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: A in Janesville. It sits on eight acres, just over
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: eight acres. And you know, if you're looking for that
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: perfect little farm met that's got no not only land,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: but it's also got some outbuildings, you know, things for
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: your hobbies and or let's say, you know, you want
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: to work on our trade and one of the garages there,
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: it's perfect for you. The thing I really like about
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: it is, you know it's got a did a lot
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: more than enough square footage in the farmhouse. And you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: some of those outbuildings really are huge as a barn.
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: They could easily converted maybe in an event space.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: So do we see folks moving. I think folks gonna
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: move from the city to the country. And obviously folks
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that haven't spent some time in Janesville. I'm going to
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: tell you something. Far from country there is. Janesville has everything,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: but you get just outside of Janesville, much like and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: as we sit here in Madison, you get just outside
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: you are in beautiful rural America, the kind of that
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: that Rockwell esque Norman Rockwell esque type setting. Do we
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: see people saying, you know what, I want to get
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: away from some of this hustle and bustle. Maybe buy
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: a farmat and not necessarily have a farm, but maybe
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: get a couple of chickens and have a place to
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: keep all the toys.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Are we seeing kind of a movement towards that from folks? Yeah,
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: I would say so.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: I think that people are kind of looking to have
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: a different lifestyle.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Right when you're at.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: The hustle and bustle of the city, most people try
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: to fire I mean something that's still a good driveable distance.
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Let's say to Madison, right, and this one's perfect for
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: that because it's just on the west side of Jansville,
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: very close to all that James Will offers.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I mean pretty much any restaurant you think.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: Of James Will has, right, but it's just outside, you know,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: miler two outside of the city, and because it's on
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: the west side of the city, that makes it an
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: easy trance, you know, commute just right at fourteen there.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: So just had dinner at the Milwaukee Grill the.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Other there you go.
• 3:29

• 3:34
  Speaker 1: great things about Madison Dane County. And you know, we
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: talk about Janesville and getting into Rock County is folks

• 4:37
  Speaker 1: dot com. Of course, hanging out this morning with Matt
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Heyman of Rock Realty. Let's get into the discussion about
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: home inspection, and there is there is an importance to this,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: isn't there?
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, and that applies to kind of both sides of
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: the transaction. Not only can a buyer ask for through
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: the offer ask for a home inspection, but sometimes sellers
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: will do pre inspections.
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: So I kind of want to to chat on that
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: today too.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: So let's let's break down what goes into kind of
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: that home inspection for for folks. And again, Naiveta in
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: my part, I sometimes get the and I think a
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: lot of people probably do this a home inspection and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: an assessment, those type of things. If we're not buying,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: we're not really are selling, we're not really thinking in
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: those terms. A home inspection is something unique, what kind
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: of goes into that that process and what is that
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: what is that all about?
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so on on on the buy side. Anyways, a
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: home inspection is a contingency that you can throw into
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: your offer to give yourself some some protection. It's gonna
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: get a certified expert out there to take a look
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: throughout the house, right, They're gonna be looking at everything
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: from interior and exterior components, the walls, roof foundations, electrical systems,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: plumbing systems, heating and cooling systems, even the appliances.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: That is amazing.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Roofs by the way, anyone that I've got to guess
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: that when it comes to, you know, some of those
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: areas that you really if you're going to be buying,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: you really want to understand. Understanding the roof and the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: durability of roof is pretty important, isn't it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, And you know, obviously a home inspector can only view,
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: you know, what they see up there, right, you know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: it's it's good to get a home inspector that's willing to.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Go on the roof.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: I know that there are some home inspectors that don't. Okay,
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: may just said they're drowne up there and take some photos.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: But it's hard to tell if you know that underlayment's
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: a little spongy unless you're walking on the roof, right,
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: But it is a little more dangerous for them, So
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: I understand.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, talking this morning with Matt Heyman of Rockrealty the
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: website rock Wisconsin dot com. That's r c K Wisconsin
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: dot com, dellphone number six O eight six seven three
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: fifty four hundred, that's six seven three fifty four hundred
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: for Rock Realty, And so we talked met about what
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: what is included in some of the areas that the
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: inspector is going to look at. What are some of
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the things that they that they're generally not going to
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: look at, and things they should probably have others look
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: into if you're going to be buying or selling.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's a good point.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: So most people think that an inspection is going to
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: include just about everything, and that's not necessarily the case.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: So in a case where we have a farmat like
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: we talked about earlier, most likely you have a well
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: and you have septic, right, well well in septic require
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: a completely different contingency. It also requires a completely different inspector,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: someone that's an expert on well water, what's to code
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: and what's not in the septic as well. So some
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: of the other things that aren't included in a normal
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: home inspection are going to be like radon testing. That's
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: something where they drop off a kit and they test
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: how much radon is in the home or.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: In the basement.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: Most typically lead paint and then mold as well. So
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: a home inspector can point out, hey, this looks like
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: it could be mold, but like many things throughout the house,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: if it requires a special expert on that, they will
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: recommend that you get either a roughing contractor or a
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: company that specializes in mold testing out to take a
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: look at it.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Things like raid on, and of course here in Wisconsin,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: it's an interesting thing is you can have one house
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: that has higher levels right next to house that has
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: almost non existent levels. The great thing about that is
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: folks may not be aware of this. Mitigation systems for
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: radon are on the on the scale of things, super
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: affordable and certainly shouldn't be for somebody a deal breaker
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and certainly something to and that you talk about hiring
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: the right person to look into those things. Having somebody
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: that kind of explained that that's that is a big deal.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: So as you as you do then kind of tying
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: in along those lines, Matt, after you've had all you know,
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: had these examination done, you may want to may want
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: to get get some more professionals in maybe for a
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: little bit more analysis, won't you.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, And as you talk, as you spoke to
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: the radon, as I explained the same sort of thing
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: to clients is that you know, if it is an issue,
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: we're talking a nine hundred dollars to twelve hundred dollars
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: resolution right now. Septic a little different, a little different
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: right we're talking you know, if you need a whole
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: new septic field, and that's if you're still able to
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: put a new septic in. You're looking twenty thousand possibly,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: So it's a it's a big difference.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Is And that's one of the nice things too, when
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you're working with a good agent to kind of walk
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: you through this, not only give you the give you
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the information, say hey, it may be worth your time
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: to and important to have that home inspection. Here's what's
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: not included, and if things do come up, help you
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: kind of work through that because again, I don't want
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to focus too much on right now, but that's one,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Like you know, I when we bought our house, our
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: son was just born. So like you're at that like
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: hyper parenting state where you're like, right on, oh my goodness,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and then and then you just look at houses and
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: then and working with a good agent. That kind of
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: explains what that is and what that isn't is is
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: a really really good, really good thing. So with like
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the like, if you're a homeowner looking to list having
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: this stuff done by you, is that is that something
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: you would advise Matt.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So in general it tends to be better.
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Hope you can have a sellar pre inspection, and what
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: that's going to do is that it's going to put
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: everything out in the open right away, right so when
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: buyers come through, they're not going to have any doubts.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Like you had mentioned, right, well, what if something's wrong
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: with this or that. If you do a pre inspection
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: with a qualified home inspector, you'll alleviate to a lot
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: of the concerns. Or maybe if nothing else, give you
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: a give the buyer a checklist of what it's going
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: to cost them once they move in to do the
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: certain repairs, and that way, when they come in with
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: an offer, they can already be prepared to have the
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: price set in their.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Mind of what they think the home is worth.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: If you do a pre inspection and you actually resolve
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: a number of the items even better.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: So is that something to your agent can kind of
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: recommend your listing agent kind of recommend who to go with,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: maybe folks that they've worked with in the past, those
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: type of things. I know, sometimes some of these services
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: that you may need once or maybe twice in your lifetime.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: The guy you used twenty years ago, it's probably retired
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: guy or Gale's probably retired by now. Having somebody that's
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: on top of this stuff probably great benefit.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say so.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: I think that there are I have seen an influx
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: of a lot of new home inspectors as of late.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: You know, that's a good thing. However, it also is
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: a good thing to have someone that's been through many
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: houses with buyers and knows how to say, hey, this
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: really isn't that big of a deal, and this is.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Born to put that stuff into perspective. This morning, we're
• 11:05

• 12:02
  Speaker 1: w Wisconsin dot com. R O c k W I
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: s C O N s I N. I think I
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: spelled there right, Rock Wisconsin dot com. I'm just before
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: it came out the air, Big new your daughter softball player.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah did you did? I hear you right? What happened?
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: What she had?
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: She had a tournament this week. Yeah, she's eleven and
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: she got to hit her first Grand Slam.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: So I'm pretty excited about clear of the basis.
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah cool is that recorded the video and I'm the
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: guy kind of giggling in the background, but yeah.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: Super, that is so very very cool.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Of course, talking this week with Matt about the importance
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: of prelisting inspections for for sellers and of course home
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: inspections for buyers as well. Mentioned the website rock Wisconsin
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: dot com. That's r O c K Wisconsin dot com
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: telphone number six so eight six seven three fifty four hundred.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: That's six seven three fifty four hundred. So we talked
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: about the prelisting angle for for folks looking to list.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: What about people looking to buy? Would buyers want to
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: have their own inspection done on potential homes they're going
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: to purchase?
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So, I mean to be clear, it's always best
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: to have an inspection, right, but as I mentioned earlier,
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: a lot of it depends on the market, right.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: So you know, when we.
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: Were having trouble selling houses, an inspection was included with
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: almost every offer at that time. Right buyers wanted that protection,
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: they wanted that extra ability to negotiate post offer right currently,
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: you know, depending if there's multiple offers in our property,
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: it's often that buyers are dropping the inspection, you know,
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: in lieu of actually getting the offer accepted. Because if
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: a seller is going to be looking at two different offers,
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: one has an inspection, one doesn't. If I'm the seller,
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: I'm probably choosing the one that doesn't have the inspection.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: With that, with the you know, the kind of that
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: the overall market and kind of things, things kind of shift.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Obviously you think about, you know, if you're buying a
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: home that's going to be your biggest purchase, that is
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: something I would guess if you're if you are the buyer,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: you might want to just budget for for just even
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: even after the deals done, to kind of get a
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you know, a good a good agent's going to work
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: with the listing agent, work with the with the cellar
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: to kind of get.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: Some details on the home. But every home is unique.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: Every home has its unique quirks and its unique benefits
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: and having you know, just kind of a rundown of
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: how's this furnace, what is this looking like? Or having
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: you know, what's the roof look like? Does it look
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: like it's got.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: How many years? You know though?
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Just those type of things just kind of peace of
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: mind and kind of a learning experience for the for
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: the new homeowner to say, this is our house and
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: this is what we need to know about it.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Correct.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I would think so.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: And you know, an agent can point out you know,
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: as long as you know you're working with them and
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: you're their client, you know, they can point out different
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: things as they walk through the home that you know,
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: maybe they've noticed on other inspections that have gone on
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: to at least kind of point you in the right direction.
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: But obviously the home inspector is going to be the
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: expert and the professional on that.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I think about when you're buying, like a used car
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: and you kind of do the kick of the tires,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: the walk around, and of course you're looking for those
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: little things to bring up with the with.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: The car dealer.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Same thing go on with houses to do Folks sometimes
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: say you know what, I I got a home inspection
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: on this, and I'm noticing this is an issue. Maybe
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: we want to negotiate on price or are we pretty
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: firm with the way things are right now in the market.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there were recent changes as far as what inspectors
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: are required to do, and one of those changes is
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: that they point out what actually they consider a defect.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: Right before it was a concern or not a concern,
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: you know, red flag a yellow flag. Right, so now
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: it's a little more defined, helps helps buyers and sellers
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: know that they really should be negotiating on that item.
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: Whereas before a seller might say I don't, I don't
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: call that a defect, and the buyer would say, well,
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: I do, and then it got a little more complicated.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: So at least there's some a little more clarity with
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: that now.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: How many out of you know, I know you guys
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: are are are selling and listing houses every day? Is
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: this is it almost universal that that you're doing pre
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: list and then home buyers doing these inspections or fifty
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: to fifty you're kind of what's that breakdown are you seeing?
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: That's a good question. I would say that there's a
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: lot of sellers that aren't taking advantage of the pre inspection.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: I think that, you know, it's easy to understand why
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: they're a little concerned to what might come up. Sure,
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: but as far as buyers and having an inspection contingency,
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: we have seen a little bit more of a leveling
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: out of the market, which is really nice. So buyers
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: have been able to throw in a bit of those protections.
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: You know, if I had to throw a number at it,
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: I'd say thirty to forty percent of the offers some
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: have an inspection at this point.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: And the inspection is has kind of started this conversation off.
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: It's it's different too from obviously with if you're doing financing,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: the bank's going to want to they're going to you know,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: they're gonna want comparables and other things. Very we're talking
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: about very different things here. We're talking about market value,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: you know, perceived market value by the by the lending
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: institution versus an actual physical check of the structure.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: Right yeah, yeah.
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Just to make a quick definition of three items sometimes
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: get confused. One is an assessment, which is from the
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: municipality just trying to determine how much taxes they should
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: charge you, is the best way to put it. Second
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: is an appraisal, which is what you're mentioned that's usually
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: required by every lender to actually lend on a home,
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: and that's a professional that comes through outside and separate
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: from the assessor, could vary completely much differently than what
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: the assessor has. And then the third's like a home inspection,
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: which is someone going through looking at the quality of
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: the house, looking if there is anything that needs to
• 17:15
  Speaker 4: be improved or fixed.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Do you run into that a lot where folks get
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: these because and again I'll use myself as an example,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: as you know to me, I do use those quite
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: often interchangeably.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: But there is there are distinct is that is that.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: A common thing that folks aren't aren't thinking about the
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: kind of the distinct.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: Rolls of each of these areas.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: The assessment, especially the assessment in the appraisal like it's
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: confused a lot, and you know, it's important to know
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: the assessment is just a ballpark. Right Just because your
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: assessment says something doesn't necessarily mean the house is going
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: to sell for that right in each assessment varies. So
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: some municipalities are very close to market value and some aren't.
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: What never happens, never ever.
