Initial Business Response /* (1000, 5, 2016/08/23) */
We have sent this to our attorney and will wait for their response.
Thank you.
Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 7, 2016/08/24) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
Seller has contacted...

the Attorney General's office and plans to file a fraud complaint with them. Seller is awaiting a packet from their office. As sellers, we have serious concerns about the fraud committed by Mr. [redacted]'s company which he is not addressing or acknowledging thus far. I am concerned for other consumers,past and present, who may potentially be defrauded by this company. I would suspect that this is not the first instance of this type of fraud committed by this business and left unchecked, they will likely continue to engage in deceptive practices for the benefit of one party in real estate transactions. I assure you our concerns are valid and legitimate, and will be turned over to the attorney general's office for investigation. I would like our concerns and experience to be posted on you website for future consumers' benefit and information. Again, as sellers, this business knowingly engaged in deceptive and fraudulent business practices by producing fraudulent photographs of extensive water damage to interior walls of our home that simply did not exist and were verified as non-existent by both seller's and buyer's real estate agents.
Final Business Response /* (4000, 14, 2016/09/02) */
[redacted]Document Attached[redacted]
We are currently being accused of fraud on a home that we inspected at [redacted] Rolling [redacted] During the inspection we observed what appeared to be water stains on the ceilings in multiple rooms (see page 15 of the attached inspection) along with drywall tape "bubbling" at an office/den at the intersection of the vaulted ceiling and the wall (see page 14 of the attached inspection report). The inspector also noticed water stains on the roof decking above the office/den inside the attic. (see page 14 of the attached inspection). Our client and his realtor then consulted a professional roofing contractor to inspect the roof and determine if it was leaking. The roofing contractor inspected the roof as well as made a video recording of the roof inspection. It was determined by the contractor that the roof needed approximately $3,000 to $5,000 worth of repair based on several factors including but not limited to "burn outs", "splits", "curling" and separated" hip and ridge shakes. In the "comments" section of the written report performed by the roofing contractor the inspector describes what burn outs, splits, curling and separated hip and ridge shakes are prone to. I have taken his comments from the report and added them to my rebuttal, they are provided below.
"Burn outs noted on all slopes of roof. Burn outs are where the shake under the side lap of the shake row above has worn out. This exposes the felt underlayment and creates a spot where water can penetrate the roofing system."
"Splits noted in shakes on all slopes of the roofing system. Splits were noted under side laps of row above and on top of side laps on row below. Splits in line with other splits or side laps of shingles creates areas of exposed felt underlayment. Exposed underlayment will create areas where water can enter the roofing system."
"Some areas of shakes curling noted on all slopes. Curled shakes create areas for wind blown rain to infiltrate the roofing system. Curled shakes should be replaced."
"Split and seperated hip and ridge shakes noted on all hips and ridges. Damaged ridge shakes can allow water under the roofing system and into the attic. Damaged shakes should be replaced."
In every description of what is wrong with the roof, water intrusion is the direct result if not repaired.
Please also watch the attached video taken by the roofing contractor. He visually describes defects of the roof and it's components. On the video the contractor talks about a "dead valley" at approximately 3:50 seconds and stops discussing this area at approximately 4:10 seconds. This dead valley is directly above the stained roof decking and office/den interior wall where our inspector noticed the bubbling of sheet rock tape. Also attached is the repair addendum that was agreed upon by both the seller, buyer and both real estate agents.
Item #1 on the repair addendum states
"The shake roof covering has lifting/warped wood shingles/cracked shingles. Also, water appears to be entering the home from the roof valley above the office. Please repair/replace."
We [redacted] currently being accused of committing fraud on a home that we inspected at [redacted] Rolling [redacted] Drive, [redacted] During the inspection we observed multiple items that were defective with the home including but not limited to; defective roof shingles and or shakes, and what appeared to be water stains on the ceilings in multiple rooms (see page 15 of the attached inspection) along with drywall tape "bubbling" at an office/den at the intersection of the vaulted ceiling and the wall (see page 14 of the attached inspection report). The inspector also noticed water stains on the roof decking above the office/den inside the attic. (see page 14 of the attached inspection). Our client and his realtor then consulted a professional roofing contractor to inspect the roof and determine if the roof was leaking. The roofing contractor inspected the roof and recorded the inspection. It was determined by the contractor that the roof needed approximately $3,000 to $5,000 of repair based on several factors including but not limited to "burn outs", "splits", "curling" and "separated" hip and ridge shakes. In the "comments" section of the written report performed by the roofing contractor the inspector describes what burn outs, splits, curling and separated hip and ridge shakes are prone to.

Item #1 on the repair addendum states
"The shake roof covering has lifting/warped wood shingles/cracked shingles. Also, water appears to be entering the home from the roof valley above the office. Please repair/replace."
The seller agreed to repair the roof and we were asked to re-inspect this area on Wednesday, August 31st. The roof had been repaired along with the other items on the repair addendum.
The consumer is stating that we have committed fraud, described extensive damage to the home, and engaged in deceptive practices and produced fraudulent photographs. This is simply not true. We performed a home inspection for a client just like we have done for thousands of other clients. We reported to him the defects of the home and the defects were then agreed upon and repaired by the seller. Nowhere in our report is fraud, nowhere in our report is the wording "extensive damage" and nowhere in our report are there fraudulent photographs.
The consumer also states that the realtors were invited to observe the stains or lack thereof and could not see them when returning. During the inspection by realtors (who are not trained home inspectors) it does not state if a thermal camera, inspection flash light or other industry used tools were used to locate these stains.
Total Home Analysis was responsible for damaging a clock that was on the cooktop and the consumer was reimbursed for this item.
The end result is that there were defective roof shakes and or shingles that needed to be repaired due to water currently and or potentially entering the home described not only by Total Home Analysis, but also a professional roofing company.
Let it be known that the consumer that is filing the complaint is married to an attorney and is obviously using his professional position to either scare Total Home Analysis about previous cases in Missouri involving home inspection companies or feels that using comments involving the [redacted] Attorney General will discredit the business and its employees even more. Total Home Analysis will consult with the Attorney General on this matter to make sure meritless claims like this one are dealt with properly in the future.

Final Consumer Response /* (4200, 17, 2016/09/06) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
It is unfortunate that the owner of Total Home Analysis, [redacted], continues to deny responsibility in an attempt to cover up his company's blatant fraud. Seller believes the only true resolution for this matter is for the Revdex.com to independently contact both the buyer's agent, Sara Broderson with Coldwell Banker, and seller's agent, Adam Graddy with Keller Williams, to verify that neither of them observed the extensive water damage on "ceilings in multiple rooms" and upstairs bedroom(s) as Mr. [redacted]'s company vehemently claims/defends. Both agents will be able to independently verify to the Revdex.com and any other potential investigative agency that the water damage to upstairs bedroom(s) and "ceilings in multiple rooms" simply did not exist. It is further noted that in his rebuttal to seller's complaint, Mr. [redacted] brought up extraneous issues with the home (study with leak detected above "dead valley" on roof) which was never in question by sellers during negotiations. Again, this appears to be an attempt by Mr. [redacted] to divert attention away from the real issue at hand in this casehis claims of extensive water damage throughout the home. For informational purposes, seller has attached a letter from Dale's Roofing in Springfield, Missouri, certifying work that was completed on seller's roof prior to the home inspection by Total Home Analysis, at which time the roof was determined to be in "good" condition and that no further work was neededonly an annual inspection was recommended thereafter. On the day of closing (08/31/16), Mr. [redacted] conducted a subsequent home inspection of alleged water damage per his inspection, but interestingly enough he never went upstairs to inspect the water damage that he claims existed and continues to defend.
If is further noted that in Mr. [redacted]'s response, he claims to have "reimbursed" the consumer for the broken clock. As of this writing, the seller has received no compensation from Mr. [redacted] or Total Home Analysis. During seller's one and only telephone conversation weeks ago, Mr. [redacted] agreed to pay $150 to seller for the damaged clock, but has not done so thus far.
