From The Desk of
Arthur LazerowFREE SECURITY SYSTEM
INSPECTION AND FREE 90 DAY HOME WARRANTY
We are pleased to announce an alliance between Alban Home
Inspection Service and Brink’s Home Security. Brinks Home Security
has been the leading name in security for 150 years. Since we do not
inspect alarm systems, we found an internationally known company
that could provide this service for our clients. Brinks Home
Security will provide a free inspection of the alarm system in homes
that have security systems. All home buying clients of Alban Home
Inspection Service will also receive a 90- day limited structural
and mechanical warranty provided by Brinks Home Security free of
charge. Offered by American Home Warranty Company, this warranty
covers many aspects of our home inspections. The warranty starts the
day of the inspection and runs for 90 days or three weeks after the
closing whichever is longer.
Each home buying client of Alban Home Inspection Service will have
the opportunity to either upgrade their existing alarm system or
have a new system installed by Brinks Home Security at no charge. A
monitoring agreement is required to receive the free installation.
If a client chooses to take advantage of the offer from Brinks Home
Security, they will also receive a $50 Gift Card from Target
Department Stores free of charge. Our alliance with Brinks and
American Home Warranty Company is one more reason why an Alban home
inspection provides a unique value. This is one more layer of
protection for your client. Every Realtor can feel comfortable
recommending Alban to your home buying clients for their home
inspection and environmental testing needs. |
Alban To The Next Level
With Personnel Promotions |
Over the past twelve years, Alban Home Inspection Service, Inc. has
been blessed with an extraordinarily strong staff. Quintin
Satterfield is one of the area’s most experienced lead- based paint
inspectors and is universally admired by the clients he serves. Our
home inspectors are topnotch. Our main office staff, Terry Toms in
financial management and bookkeeping, Tina Yarborough in scheduling
and administration and Sandra Watkins, our general manager and head
of the lead- based paint inspection division, produce an extremely
well managed and efficient headquarters operation. Alban is truly
the sum of our people. In this regard, I am very pleased to announce
the return of Melissa Brois as our marketing consultant and the
promotion of Marty Blackwood and Rodney Shull into management
responsibility.
 She’s
back! After three gloriously productive years with Alban as our
marketing director and responsible for Realtor relations, Melissa’s
income serious eroded with the downturn in the number of home
inspections. She was forced last fall to find other employment to
help support her family. While with Alban,
Melissa designed the presentation folder and its inserts,
established our radio program, Real Estate Today, made significant
improvement to our corporate brochure, developed our portable
corporate table top display and much more. Melissa has decided to
establish her own marketing consulting business and has accepted two
clients, Alban and and another well-known company within the real
estate
|
industry. She will ensure that Alban’s
marketing programs are interesting and productive. She is already
responsible for our 4-month gift program. During April, each client
and the referring Realtor received a copy of Tom Feiza’s excellent
book How to Operate Your Home. In May, each client and the referring
Realtor will each receive a free radon test. What a great idea. More
to come in June and July for our clients and their Realtors. We are
so pleased to have Melissa Brois on the Alban team once again.
Having Melissa back makes Alban a complete company.
Marty Blackwood and Rodney Shull are Alban’s most prolific home
inspectors. For the past several years, they have run neck and neck
for the Iron Man title. In his quiet way, however, Rodney has taken
the title the last two years. Nonetheless, I have asked Marty and
Rodney to assume added management responsibilities beyond their
current roles as home inspectors.
Marty has been appointed to the position of Chief Inspector. His
education, designation as a Registered Architect, and years of
experience with construction make him uniquely qualified. His role
will be to review inspection protocols, answer inspector questions
or concerns, resolve problems during inspections and help Rodney
Shull from time to time with client callback issues. He will also
prepare a periodic newsletter to our inspectors to keep
