In this podcast Wally Conway makes the case for the Pre-listing home inspection.  We at Home Inspection Carolina and Ask the Charlotte Inspector recommend Wally’s Book; The Happy Home Inspector.

Biography – Prior to presiding over one of the largest home inspection companies in North America, Wally was a Naval Academy graduate and is a retired Navy pilot. With a blend of experiences as a business owner, master marketer, contractor, renovator, investor, TV and radio host, and master home inspector, Wally believes “if you’re not having fun doing your thing, you’re either doing the wrong thing, or your thing wrong!”

As a respected expert in the discovery, disclosure, and documentation of residential concerns, Wally has authored and instructs numerous courses approved by the Florida Real Estate Commission for the Continuing Education of Real Estate Licensees. As a respected entrepreneur and marketing mogul, Wally serves as a respected consultant to a broad range of businesses. The underlying theme to Wally’s approach to business growth and development is that beneath every business expense lies a potential profit center. Drawing from his own rapid business growth, Wally now shows companies how to grow from “Me to We”.

Believing that entertainment is a vital element in education, Wally continues to hone his presence and presentation skills. He has been a featured inspector on the HGTV series “House Detective” as well as a co-host on the DIY series “Finders Fixers”, hosts a weekly radio show called “The Home and Garden Show” (WOKV 104.5 FM), and speaks regularly, having delivered over 627presentations to real estate professionals, inspectors, builders, buyers, and other business owners. He is also a frequent contributor to an assortment of media and corporate training programs.
