NEW YORK (CNNMoney)

Making a sale means pulling out all the stops, and putting together a marketing plan that could include boat rides, private planes or, for one realtor, a strategically placed lingerie model.

Jack Cotton, a realtor in Cape Cod, Mass., will take potential buyers out on his powerboat. He works with properties on the high end, which he defines as the top 10% of the market.

"That's kind of our secret weapon," he said of his boat. His clients enjoy cruises of the nearby inland waterways to "experience the lifestyle of being here."

He mentioned his counterparts in Colorado will take their clients out skiing, and Manhattan realtors take potential buyers out in limos.

Ken DeLeon, a realtor in Atherton, Calif., the highest-earning zip code in California, recently took delivery of his own private plane. He uses it to give buyers -- particularly overseas investors -- aerial views of what could essentially be their next backyard.

But a plane isn't the only way to give clients a birds-eye view of a property.

Realtors are now using drones, and drone technology, as a way to stay on top.

"The high-end market is very competitive," said Colette Harron, a real estate agent in Essex, Conn. "So whatever it takes." Her company recently used photographs taken by a drone to showcase a large, multimillion-dollar home in Connecticut. The drone was able to capture the stunning water views of nearby Long Island Sound.

LAS VEGAS - Homeowners in Las Vegas depend on their air conditioning during the summer months. 8 on Your Side shows how to keep your unit running without getting ripped off.

If you are a homeowner and something goes wrong with your air conditioning unit, you need to act quickly and carefully.

The best way to do that is to call at least three companies for a quote. Calling multiple companies ensures you will get the best price.

If anything major is wrong with the system, it's always good to get a second opinion and sometimes a third opinion, said Blake Ballard with the Southern Nevada Air Conditioning Service Contractors Association. There are some unethical companies that tell you you need to replace a system or do major repairs, when that really is not the case. So, a second or third opinion can help you with that.

Make sure whichever company you choose is licensed in the state. That information is available through the Nevada State Contractors Board. If the company is not licensed, do not hire it.

If the repairman says you need a certain part for your unit, ask for a price quote. Then, call around to see what other companies charge. That way, you are in control. Air conditioning companies can charge whatever they want for parts and service. These services are not price controlled.

Repair times vary. Most contracted, licensed companies can fix your problem in a matter of hours.

That's not the case when you rely on your home warranty company for a repair.

Ballard says when you rely on home warranty companies, repairs can take days or weeks.

We find a very common complaint of people who have home warranties is that it's going to take three to five days to get it resolved or to get somebody out there, he said. In many cases, you could get it resolved that day.

Q. When we bought our house, the home inspector included pictures of the foundation under the building. In one photo, there are black stains that look like mold, but nothing about mold was mentioned in the report. Now we are also finding mold on the walls in the basement. Why would a home inspector say nothing about mold in his inspection report?

A. There are two probable reasons why your home inspector said nothing about mold in his report:

He may have failed to see the mold. In that case, he may not have done a thorough inspection in general, and a second inspection would be advisable to see what other defects were missed.

Mold inspecting is actually outside the scope of the standards of practice for home inspection. Therefore, many home inspectors simply ignore mold, even when it is obviously visible. In my opinion, that is not a wise or equitable practice. Although a home inspector may not be professionally qualified to identify mold in a definitive sense, saying nothing about an observable condition is professionally negligent.

When mold is apparent in a building, a home inspector can simply state that stains were observed and that further evaluation by a qualified mold specialist is recommended. In that way, the home inspector has provided competent disclosure without exceeding the scope of the profession. Home inspectors who say nothing about visible mold-like conditions are not using good judgment and are not representing the interests of their clients.

Q. We just sold our home and are buying a new spec house. Our agent said it's not necessary to have a new home inspected because of the one-year builder's warranty. She said we should wait about 10 months and then get an inspection before the warranty expires. Does this sound like good advice to you?

Also, do you think the final walk-through inspection with the builder will cover any significant defects? And finally, do people usually have home inspections on new homes?

A. Waiting 10 months to have your new home inspected is not a good idea. When you are in escrow, the builder is motivated to get the sale closed and will be more likely to comply with repair requests now than 10 months after the sale. Therefore, waiting to have a home inspection at a later date is a needless gamble.

Home inspections for new homes are becoming increasingly popular. A truly qualified inspector can find defects in any new home, regardless of the quality of construction or the competence and integrity of the builder. It is simply a law of human nature that anything man-made will not be perfect.
