Default How many inspections to expect at first ?

As a new home inspector how many should you be expecting the first few months ? I started in March and have completed about 20. Is this at, above or below average ?

Pretty good in my opinion.

You say you started in March, your website says over 8 years in inspection service?

I would say you are way ahead of where I was in my first year of business.

I did just over 50 my first year also so 60 may be about right since all mine were from the website.

I did 62 my 1st year. On pace for 100+ my second year.

My average fee is up almost $50 this year compared to last. Didn't raise my prices. Not as many condo's this year and doing some larger homes raised my fee.

That is pretty good IMHO. After getting licensed in May of last year I did about 20 between Memorial Day & Labor Day, before deciding I hated crawl spaces, missed selling used houses and stopped inspecting.

You're off to a faster pace - Best of luck and good on ya
