Let me know what you tell a person When they ask - what is it that you do in a home inspection and how you would word it for a customer?

Eragorn, why don't you tell us what you tell a person when they ask that question and then we will go from there to help you if it sounds like it needs to be modified.
There are 6,000 versions for that question.

“A home inspection is a high-liability,
in-depth, multi-disciplined technical analysis
of the home conducted under adverse circumstances
in front of a demanding audience,
requiring the generation of an incredibly detailed
written report prepared in an unrealistically short
time frame for an inconceivably low fee.”

(I DON'T KNOW WHO WROTE THIS, BUT IT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE DEFINITIONS FOR A HOME INSPECTION)

[John J. Passailaigue, Jr.]

Joseph,

That hits the nail right on the head! Good Lord. Everything I thought but couldn't put it into words!

[James H. Bushart]

A home inspector is one who reports his observations of the existing condition of a home, including its systems (electrical, plumbing, hvac).

This one always get's my clients. I simply tell them my expertise and inspection fee could potentially save you from closing on a unforseeable bill worth thousands. Soon after most usually book.
