Conspiracy? > The Attic...
Conspiracy? > The Attic...
Embedded Files
Sh-t happens, right? Yes. It does.
It happens to everyone no matter how cautious.
HOWEVER, Commercial Conspiracies do to.
Often times, you can only sniff out a Conspiracy when
MULTIPLE people get the easy work wrong, and this one stinks to HIGH HELL.
Attics and Crawl Spaces are the most critical interior spaces that need detailed attention by inspectors. Every Real Estate Pro knows that.
Those spaces contain the most relevant indicators of problems related to pests, insects, active leaks, water damage, unwanted moisture, mold and other defects that might be extremely costly and hazardous to health.
Just like nobody "likes" to buy new tires or pay for medical bills, nobody "likes" to pay for defect remediation in Attics and Crawl spaces. That's why the most attempts at Disclosure Fraud transpire in these areas.
Consumers MUST rely on inspectors for Attics and Crawl spaces because they often can't or won't be able to do those types of inspections for themselves safely or competitantly.
Attic Ventilation alone is SO IMPORTANT, unlicensed and vaguely regulated Inspector Robert Vierra put this wonderfully flowing and colorful image in his report summary.
The colors are FANTASTIC! All the curves are so soft and appealing. That is a very flowing and pretty image.
That's a Bob Ross if I've ever seen one!
It's so smooth in a soothing way. One might drift a little and just slip into a land of pink and blue...
...And then there's this...
Any inspector who looked at this home from the outside would know there were two attics to inspect, assuming the ceilings inside weren't vaulted, which they aren't.
Given the importance of attics, what are the odds that BOTH of these (outwardly) unrelated "pre-sale" inspectors, hired directly by the Seller's Agent, with of over 40 years of combined experience, BOTH failed to inspect the 2nd floor attic AND BOTH failed to include that fact boldly in the summary of their reports ?
Does that seem a bit odd to you?
Let's make this a little more uncomfortable...
What if I told you the 2nd floor attic they BOTH failed to inspect and BOTH totally "forgot" to note as not inspected in their Report Summaries had $7k to 10k in grossly obvious insulation damage and property damage due to a rodent invasion? Would that seem a bit suspicious?
From the home inspection we paid for...
Let's make this even more uncomfortable now...
What if I told you the Seller's Agent knew about the damage.
What if I told you that BOTH of the inspectors were hired by the Seller's Agent to produce reports that BOTH knew could be provided to prospective buyers to entice them to waive home inspections in a competitive market.
What if I told you the attic they failed to inspect had been closed up by The Seller's Agent's General Contractor.
What if I told you the stains in the 2nd floor ceiling had been painted over by the Seller's Agent's Painter.
What if I told you the Seller and Seller's Agent failed to disclose any attic damage in their required disclosures, in perfect lockstep with BOTH inspectors.
What if I told you that the Seller's Agent spilled all the beans on the spot, as soon as we found the damage. It was as if he and the seller felt they were allowed to hold back facts until they were found, at which point he felt absolutely no concern for providing utterly incriminating details related to attempted fraud? In deed, the odd contract provisions and inverted document delivery process "almost" supported such a crazy thought...
What if I told you we backed the Seller into a corner with written demands, at which point he detailed the Rodent Infestation, the Seller's Agent's Management Possession of the property, and the Contractor related work the Seller's Agent oversaw, in writing, for the purpose of bringing this all to light with proper documentation. Is that an interesting thought?
Given the facts that were known to the Seller, the Seller's Agent and a Contractor, does it make sense the Seller's Agent, on behalf of the Seller, might have hired TWO Inspectors who might have accidentally forgotten to climb in the attic AND forgotten to mention they didn't?
Have you ever heard of the Ancient tales of Khazaria?
If you can imagine a modern day version, is this what it might look like?
Does any of this seem "conspiratorial" to you? Do you know what a "Fixer" is?
For those who don't realize the full dangers in this, here's a POUND of additional SALT for the WOUND...
In "hot" real estate markets, Real Estate Brokers and Agents will ask their Seller's to pay for pre-sale inspection reports, in order to create documents that can be given to potential buyers to entice them to WAVE their inspection contingencies.
If a buyer waves their inspection contingencies and they are fortunate enough to win a bidding war, they can still do inspections. However, if they find unsavory things, fraudulent or not, and want to kick out of the contract, they will likely lose their deposit, which is typically 1 to 5% of the purchase price of the home, in California.
That's all bad and a HELL of a risk. But if you need a home? What is one to do? Before you think too much about it, it gets worse here in Cali-khazaria...If a buyer waves their inspection contingency in California, and they go on to purchase the home, the contract "suggests" that the buyer LOSES THEIR RIGHTS TO SUE for false disclosure statements and false disclosure documents, to and including Inspection Reports, produced by "Professionals", with a potentially wicked twist, to keep the referrals coming in.
In a fitting Cali-khazarian Summary, here's what we just revealed...
To be competitive in a Seller's Market, a Buyer's Broker/Agent may tell you,
"cautiously", that you may need to wave your Inspection Contingencies to be Competitive.
To make Buyers "feel better", Seller's will pay Inspectors for "pre-sale" Inspections.
The Pre-Sale Inspectors used are typically recommended to the Sellers by Selling Brokers/Agents.
Most Buyers would presume Pre-Sale inspectors operated in "Good Faith"
as "Licensed and Regulated Professionals, with massive penalties for Fraud,
given the Trust that Buyers have to place in them that affect their personal fortunes.
If the Buyer removes his/her inspection contingencies and wins the bidding process,
and later finds out those Inspectors were insincere, and the reports were fraudulent,
per a "crooked contract", the Buyer can't sue the Seller for fraud because the Buyer gave up
inspection contingencies to be competitive to start with.

You do now.
Professional Fraudsters and Gypsy Impostors belong in jail with Violent Offenders
with nothing but a pink thong for undies.
Everyone has a right to an opinion. That's the sweetest I can scribe.
The rest are far worse.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To date, neither inspector has admitted to a Conspiracy. The Seller's Agent has not admitted to a conspiracy. The Seller has not admitted to a conspiracy, even though he described it in writing. Seemingly, they feel everyone will surmise all of these facts are "just coincidence" , "no intentional deception was intended", and "they never dreamed of using pre-sale reports for the benefits I've just suggested". DNA convictions are based on "odds" and "statistics" too.
If this attic issue was the only problem with the reports, the consuming audience could claim "Tempering Required".
It's not x2.
The termite inspection report has another glaring issue that obfuscated $8,000 in other damage. He also failed to mention he didn't inspect the crawl space in his report summary either. Another source of a lot of damage he should have called out.
Alex, the Termite Inspector messed up. We spoke. He knows it.
I can't currently "prove" he made the attic mistake intentionally, but we can discuss the odds of BOTH inspectors making the same errors, along with the other $8,000 omission, and the overall context of the transaction, which was dripping with fraud.
Personally, I find his explanation for the absent damage estimates on "complete report" to be fully un-wholly.
I can shout nothing more than negligence at him at this time, but I can provide all the facts that suggest otherwise.
Judge him, or not, as you wish. I've made up my mind.
The home inspection report created by Robert Vierra reads like a creative writing project written by someone who KNOWS he's not overseen by any Licensing Body. It has pages of "Disclaimers" that he most assuredly feels free him from any and all Legal Liabilities. Who knows? Maybe they do.
Robert's report masked or omitted $50,000 to $80,000 in defects.
Some of those are serious health and safety defects that any NOVICE INSPECTOR would have pointed out with ease.
It contains statements which defy the greatest of human feats, like "I confirmed those structural bolts were good" about a space he said "he wasn't able to inspect due to debris" while crawling over a 4" diameter, 10' long subterranean drain pipe that he "forgot to note".
It contains exceptionally gross omissions that you would only know if were there and climbed into the spaces he or his son saw, or should have seen, but said they didn't.
It contains the use of visual and written suggestions that every dark artist will recognize with ease. Others may learn something from them too, once identified.
It contains and ABNORMAL level of disclaimers at the front of the report. EXCESSIVE to the point of drawing way too much attention to a desire to be legally free of liability.
When you see the reports these two generated, and you realize Robert's done over 11,000 reports in Monterey Bay, you're going to see something GROSS.
With this type of reporting, Robert alone could have obfuscated over $500,000,000 in defects over the past 25 years, and it could be 2 to 4 times that amount.
And he's just one "bad" inspector running "wild and free".
How many more are there in the Monterey Bay area alone?
Once you see Robert's work and realize why ALL THE BROKERS would refer Robert for "pre-sale" inspection reports, it should make you STEAM.
That's when you'll know just how GROSS and SHOCKING it all should be for all of them.
Fixing this level of broken has no instructions.
Starting over again, though. That's easy.
All you need to do is level everything first.
Is this a doorway to a story about FOUR levels of "Decentralized Organized Crime" in Monterey County, CA ?
YES, we feel it is...
What we've shared above exposes systems where Real Estate Brokers might Collude with Home Inspectors to create less than sincere reports to help Seller's Sell their properties.
Why would the Brokers do this?
To get the listing.
If one Broker says, "You need to fix all that or disclose it as a defect" and another says, "Just leave that as is. We'll be creative with the marketing in a way that will free you of liability if it becomes a problem", which broker are most going to go with?
So where to FOUR levels come from?
We suggested there was an illogical clause in the contract that protected the Seller against fraud if a Buyer gave up their inspection contingencies. That clause is down stream from other more Egregious Illegal Contract Clauses that all Brokers should have known were illegal.
In addition, the Contract Fraud seems to have been transpiring since 1985. The only way that happens is with a massive cover up by Attorneys and Mediation companies who have been profiting via the "confidential mediation" required by the contract to retain a right to legal fees for litigation, which they rightfully convince you into believing may be economically futile if there are a lot of smaller fraudulent acts.
So, looking at all of this from the top down...
Attorneys and Mediation Companies in California have been profiting from and covering for Industry Wide Brokerage Fraud by handling complaints with Confidentiality Agreements.
"Organized Crime"Real Estate Brokers state wide have been Conspiring to Present Contracts that disadvantaged Buyers illegally, in a systemic fashion since 1985.
