Does COA have a rules prohibiting an auditor from also doing the inspectiion on the property (not a Star Energy Inspection- a normal inspection that is done prior to closing)?
A Real Estate inspector who is certified with BPI or RESNET and has registered with Austin Energy is allowed to do the audit and inspection. The audit must be done before closing of the sale, most cases paid for by the seller but it is negotiable and whatever the buyer and seller agree on is fine as long as it done. Per the ordinance, the seller must disclose the audit before closing.
