Phased or draw inspections

[Jeffrey S. Campbell]

they will all try to get us to do the work for less... we have to stand firm and charge accordingly... doing a commercial phase inspection work for harvey j lawrence which pays 250 per inspection... not that we will see that out of residential but just the same... Trinity has it on their file if they want me to go... it will be 65.00 locally... outside that they have to call for a quote... they call here and there... not as much as they used to... too many "inspectors" accepting the work for 35.00

Cocamar used to be a nightmare with paper work, faxing, emailing photos, their faxes were junk... they are automated but they don't call much since they know it will cost them 75.00 locally... they find some other schmoe.... Granite calls often... Some Bismark...

On the preservation side... I've seen an increase in work orders for W-M Realty Services and NVMS... booked W-M for around 2500.00 worth of services to a foreclosure... tarped a roof, thawed the home installed sump pump, winterized, shoveled the roof (prior to tarping)...

I do draw inspections for Trinity on a regular basis and I have found them to be first rate. Talk to them about the amount of pay and keep in mind that you do not have to accept all requests. I have carved out an area close to home and it is nice to get a check form them at the end of the month.

I'm thinking about offering to do these inspections for $0 hoping of course to cut out my competition while making it up on volume.
