Today I had to deal with our local County Commission. They wanted a mandatory ordinance for home inspections of foreclosed and abandoned homes. Their intentions were good, but their knowledge of the real estate industry was lacking and as a result they did not understand the great lengths we take as REALTORS to advise and educate our prospective purchasers and sellers. Disclose Disclose and Disclose is our mantra. I can't force a buyer of seller to do something but I make sure their are informed regarding the typical code violations the Commission is wishing to eliminate.


Tomorrow I start working with the stakeholders on a re-draft of the ordinance. This time it will be REALTOR friendly and not include the kitchen sink as did the last proposed ordinance. Naples can be a great place to live providing our local government does not muck it up.
