It's a listing on Craigslist by a realtor. This guy must be a comedian.

ha I'm trying to think of something clever and send him a nice message.

The doorbell comment might do it.

You should reply and ask him which room it is he wants inspected.

I would have to think you'd have near 100 bucks in real costs just to show up at the house.

100 measly bucks to inspect a house. I don't even do a sole Termite inspection for under $125.00.

Tell him that the 100 dollars will get him a shed inspection.

The gall of some people asking for a FREEBIE. Incredible...

It seems we have some "walk by inspectors" who would answer this ad.

Don't be so hard on the realtor.

I am sure he has discounted his commission dramatically, and hasn't much left to pay for this!!!!!!
