March 9, 2010 We are very excited to introduce our new referral program for 2010. This is a chance for us to thank our regular customers for their referrals. Most of our work comes from word-of-mouth and we want to thank those that refer us to their friends, co-workers, golf partners, etc. This is a very simple program that we are running this year. All our regular customers must do is to refer us to someone they know. If that person calls us, utilizes one of our paid services and tells us the name of our customer that referred them to us we will give that customer $10 off the next service for their home during 2010. And, this is not limited to one $10 off referral. Refer us to six people who utilize our service and receive $60 off your next service. Refer enough people and your next service may be free. The only limitation is that you must use the referral discount on your home during 2010 and there is no cash value to the referral discount.
Thank you for your referrals!
Important Newsletter from October 2007
We have just returned from Richmond, taking a recertification class for performing Wood Destroying Insect inspections which are generally needed for the sale of a home. In Virginia there is a voluntary class that can be taken which is specifically designed to the inspection that is generally needed for the sale of a home. There is no state law requiring these inspections, it is generally required by a Mortgage Company and is generally listed in a sales contract as required by the seller. Our three inspectors; Katie Davidson, Zack Taylor and Rusty Taylor are certified by the Virginia Pest Management Association (VPMA) to perform these inspections. After the initial class is taken and passed we must take a recertification class every two years to maintain our current status. Although these classes take time and cost money they are very educational and very worth the time and money in training us what we are to look for and how we are to report such findings. We use the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) form, NPMA-33, to report the findings of the inspection.
If you are Real Estate Agent you should make sure you check to see that the inspectors you are using are certified by the VPMA to perform these inspections. If you are selling your home or buying a home you be sure that a certified inspector is performing the inspection on the home you are selling or buying as they have the extra training needed to perform such inspections.
To check to see if an inspector you are using is certified by the VPMA simply go to the website: www.vpmaonline.com to see a list of inspectors which are currently certified. Our inspectors are certified as follows: Rusty Taylor (072502000353) Katherine Davidson (03060000712) and Zachary Taylor (03060000722)
