Many lenders ask the inspector to pay his share of the cost.

Brian,

Thanks for the "heads up"

Got my email today.

Here is my response:

Adam,

Sounds like a great opportunity.

Please provide me some information on how much you are offering to pay me to be a part of your training team.

I look forward to your further communication.



I'm patiently waiting for his response.

Obviously if you do a good job they will continue to send there inspections to you.

Grammar check not working?

When my sense of humor is intact, I get a good laugh out of this selling point. It is even funnier when I ask the salesman to define a "good job" in the eyes of the realtors. So far, every answer I have received confirms my suspicions that their sales pitch is based on a template and not on an actual understanding of our industry.
