Leelanau County’s decision to require septic inspections when a home is sold could be a boon to the environment. While opposed by the Michigan Association of Realtors, local agents seem to be in favor of it and doubt that it will negatively impact sales. “I’ve been a fan of that (regulation) for years,” said John Martin of the Martin Company. “It’s a great opportunity to upgrade old or failing systems. I think it’s the right thing to do.” “I don’t think it will have a lot of (negative) impact,” added Rob Serbin. “I don’t think it’s a bad thing at all.”
