(more) WDIR inspections are often done before we ever see a contract.  It is the same with property insurance.  We are last in the process and are not involved until most contingencies are removed in the average transaction. We all have contacts and referral partners that retire or we lose a relationship from time to time.  There are so many small variables and moving parts in my business - a party to the transaction can be frustrated with us when we do not know it or we have no part in the cause of the delay or friction.   My .02 for all businesses:   1) Replace those connections.
