In some cases, said Kilpatrick, the combination of costs and value impairment could wipe out the whole value of a building. “There are certainly circumstances in which the remediation costs, the loss of use and enjoyment, and the loss of marketability, as well as the increased costs of ownership, all taken together, actually exceed the unimpaired market value of the home,” he said.

Corrosive Chinese Defective Drywall—Any Home, Anywhere!

Realtor Guide 42 Minute Realtor Webinar Selective Remediation Release

The Risk Is Much Worse Than Estimated...Much Worse! Original defective drywall estimates were based on the homes being 100% bad drywall...that isn’t the case at all. Less than 25% of the drywall in an affected home is bad board. Plus, 350,000 storm damaged homes all have the possibility of Chinese drywall! That means there are at least seven times more Chinese drywall homes lurking out there than previously thought!
	Realtors Beware! Never Recommend Just A Visual Inspection! The copper may not have corroded and there might not be a bad smell yet, but there can still be Chinese drywall in the home!. If you sell a home after a visual inspection and it’s wrong, the inspector and you could be sued for what you should have known. Realtors are suffering this fate over defective drywall homes at an alarming rate. Stop worrying! National Warranty protects everyone involved with the sale...including you!
Insist On A National Warranty On All High Risk Homes! Any home can have Chinese drywall, because repairs, remodels, and additions all used Chinese drywall too. This is particularly true in areas that suffered storm damage. Again, these homes may have only a small percentage of bad drywall, but even one board makes it a Chinese drywall home...and they lose up to 50% of their value in an instant!
	Protect Your Client, Your Sale...and You! Selling A Home - Take concerns about Chinese drywall off the table and add value to your property before you list. Set your buyer’s mind at ease. A National Warranty takes Chinese drywall off the bargaining table. Affordable protection is available for all homes with 10 Years and up to $500,000 in protection.
Buying A New Home - Insist on a National Warranty! It’s simply a risk that no buyer or agent should ever take. The best inspection can miss a few bad boards and can turn that new home into a disaster. No Warranty? No Deal!
