Ken Meyer Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 Do any of you mention in it the report if you find an old pot growing operation? I showed it to the clients, but don't know if it should go into the report. There is no damage to the structure as a result of the operation. Click to Enlarge 49.81 KB Click to Enlarge 49.45 KB
kurt Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 What's the downside of putting it in the report? "There's an old pot growing operation in the attic. There's pot residue and leaves in the house. I have no idea if this is a problem for the house, but there may be some other legal or health ramification I'm not aware of. I'm not even sure who you should talk to about it (possibly your attorney?), but thought you should know."
Phillip Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 I put it in my report. The last one I found the clients brother was a police officer and the client call him. The brother told my client that he needed to report it; which he did.
Jim Morrison Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 I'm with Kurt. 'It looks like someone's been growing marijuana in the attic. You should consult with your attorney and the local police about how this might affect you.' Can't hurt. Might help. JAM
John Dirks Jr Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 I agree. If it's there, say so.
Michael Carson Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 Ditto with all of the above, no telling what other things they were doing in that house. For all you know they could have made meth in there and now the house is contaminated.
Bill Kibbel Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 Since the borders have tightened up, domestic production has increased. I found one large attic completely lined with aluminum foil and packed with about 40 plants. The buyer was hoping it was included with the sale of the home - mortgage payments were gonna be pretty steep. This house is just about 5 miles away: http://blogs.phillyburbs.com/news/intel ... on-busted/
Ken Meyer Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Posted September 1, 2009 I guess I just didn't think it was that important regarding the condition of the house, but I'll go ahead and include it. Thanks for your good advice, as always.
Brandon Whitmore Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 It could have been a legal grow operation-- doubtful though. I inspected a house last summer that had several full size plants in pots on the patio, guarded by 2 Rotts. As the owner was leaving, she let me know that she had her grow card.
Terence McCann Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 I would test it first just to make sure it was truly pot - I don't want to be an "alarmist". [:-party]
fqp25 Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 Kind of strange, just the other day a realtor was telling me about their new SOP's, and she mentioned that drug manufacturing knowledge is supposed to be disclosed by the seller. I can't remember if it was just for meth, or any illegal drug. But, that's here is Illinois, where the seller's disclosure doesn't mean much anyway. Did you look for/find a stack of cash? Frank
Tom Raymond Posted September 1, 2009 Report Posted September 1, 2009 If all they left behind was a little shake, then I doubt they left any cash...unless they were smokin' while they were movin'. Tom I can almost hear the Cheech and Chong Christmas song man[:-drunk]
