In my opinion Mike gets repeat business from people by trashing their dream homes in order to look at two and three houses for them. Mike came to the house and spent four hours going through this house that was for sale. It was a 2800 square foot home and was only 15 years old. He came up with list of incorrect things to say about the house and after hiring the experts, were all made up.. He made suggestions as if he was an expert in the areas of Gas, Air Conditioners, roofing, heating, carpentry. I see what people use him because he makes comments and statements and gets the buyers to make the sellers drop their price but in essence he makes things up. His actually opinion was that this 15 year old house needed fifty thousand dollars of work!
We had the true experts come in and every single thing he told these buyers was made up.
Gas stove in family room. He said there was gas coming out and after the a well known gas company came out to check it, it was actually perfectly fine. They said it was inside two inserts and sealed at the top and there was no way anything was getting out. We used it almost every day this winter. He said it was leaking at the top of the fireplace and what was on the roof was an old stain from before it was gas and it was an actual fireplace.
He said the roof needed to be replaced. It is only 14 years old and this passed winter has zero problems and zero ice damns. He never went up on the roof. We had the experts come by to confirm it is an excellent roof. We cleaned it, stain is gone.
He said the attic was too hot meaning bad circulation and this and that. The fan was off and we turned it back on. It is perfectly fine.
He said the burner needed to be clean and was omitting fumes into the cellar. Alarm never went off in 9 years of occupancy and a well known gas company did a check up and tested it out to be running at 83 percent which is excellent for this type of system.
He said the gas fireplace blower did not work but if he took the time to read a manual or ask he would know that a gas fireplace has to heat up to a certain temp before the blower kicks in.
He said there was a can in the attic collecting water and therefore all the heating pipes etc needed to be replaced that run up through the attic. When we looked it was an upside down can sitting there, totally unrelated. no leaks, nothing.
He said an add on area of porch was done with screws and is not safe. It is safe and confirmed by carpenters.
He said the water filter under sink was corroded ..we never had a water filter under sink.
The list goes on but you get the idea. He makes things up for buyers so they can ask for a better price in some cases or so that they will keep hiring him to look at more homes. He also does This was at least the second house he was looking at for these particular people.
I have the original list and I have the expert reports to dispute
