Send us a textImagine finding your dream home, making an offer, and then watching the deal collapse after the inspection. This happens to nearly one-third of all real estate transactions nationwide—a statistic that should make every seller pay attention.The inspection phase becomes a minefield where 40-50 issues typically emerge, regardless of how well-maintained the property appears. In today's increasingly cautious real estate market, these findings often trigger buyer anxiety that can derail even the most promising sales. We dive deep into the ten most common inspection deal-killers and provide practical, cost-effective solutions to address them before they become problems.From roof concerns and aging HVAC systems to electrical panel problems and plumbing issues, we reveal why these particular items create such anxiety among buyers. More importantly, we explain how the Certified Pre-Owned approach transforms these potential obstacles into selling advantages. This strategic pre-inspection process reduces deal fallout risk from over 30% to just 7%—a dramatic improvement that directly impacts your bottom line and helps avoid the dreaded "stigmatized listing" syndrome when deals collapse.We also explore special considerations for properties with wells (where 40-50% show E. coli contamination during inspections) and share why timing matters when addressing repairs. For approximately $500—the cost of a pre-listing inspection—sellers can identify and address issues before they become deal-breaking negotiation points, potentially saving thousands in reduced offers or failed transactions.Ready to skip the stress of traditional selling? Discover how our Certified Pre-Owned approach helps properties sell faster for more money, or explore our cash offer option where you can close in as little as 14 days with no repairs or showings required.

For months, the “buy Canadian” movement has inspired Canadians to shift their shopping habits away from American goods. While this has mostly been a patriotic move, some experts say recent cuts at the Food and Drug Administration, the agency responsible for inspecting 80 per cent of American food, might give Canadians another reason to think twice about buying American products at the grocery store.Kate Helmore is The Globe's agriculture and food policy reporter. She's on the show to talk about why the cuts at the FDA have some experts concerned, how intertwined the U.S. and Canadian food systems are, and why it's so challenging to disentangle them.Questions?

Maintaining the sterility of surgical instruments is paramount to preventing infections and ensuring patient safety. AORN's updated guideline on packaging for sterilization provides crucial guidance for perioperative teams, addressing key concerns and promoting best practices for selecting, using, and maintaining packaging systems.Addressing Critical Issues in Packaging for SterilizationAORN periodically reviews and updates its guidelines to reflect current evidence and best practices. This update focuses on several critical areas:Packaging Defects: The guideline emphasizes the importance of minimizing packaging defects that can compromise sterility. Personnel Discomfort:Recognizing the ergonomic challenges faced by sterile processing professionals, the guideline addresses strategies to create a more comfortable and safe work environment.Quality of Pouches and Wraps: The guideline stresses the importance of inspecting single-use wraps and filters for defects before use.Streamlining Instrument Sets: The guideline encourages optimizing instrument sets to eliminate unnecessary instruments, streamlining processes, and potentially saving time and resources.Packaging for Sterilization Guideline Changes and Enhancements:Ergonomic Considerations: The guideline emphasizes creating an ergonomic work environment for sterile processing professionals, including comfortable work surface heights, adjustable seating, adequate space for assembling trays, proper lighting, noise reduction, and anti-fatigue mats.Inspection of Wraps and Filters: The guideline reinforces the importance of inspecting all single-use wraps and filters for defects before assembling instrument sets.Streamlining Instrument Sets: New recommendations encourage facilities to streamline instrument sets by identifying and removing infrequently used instruments. This can improve efficiency and reduce costs.Pouch Use and Technique: The guideline provides detailed recommendations for using peel pouches (paper/plastic), including proper sizing, sealing techniques, and inspection of seals for gaps, folds, bubbles, or wrinkles.Heat Sealer Maintenance: The guideline emphasizes the importance of using heat sealers according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring correct temperature settings for different materials, and maintaining equipment for optimal performance.Support the showWelcome to the Periop Talk—your go-to vlog and podcast series where we examine the world of perioperative nursing.Episode after episode, we're bringing you professional tips, clinical wisdom, and personal stories that'll make you feel like you're chatting with your work BFFs.
