With a lot of threads on cheap inspectors, low ballers,

I wanted to post a poll on what you think separates you from your competition and why you should be hired.

What do you tell client on the phone when they ask How much is an inspection??

George E. Russell · #2 1/21/11, 10:57 AM

1. I only schedule one complete home inspection per day and thus have the time needed to do a good job without rushing.
2. I am one of if not the only inspector in my area who has 30 years residential construction experience to back up my formal education. This gives me a perspective that most other inspectors lack.
3. I work for the client and the client only.

Updated tools to do the Job
Time needed to do each inspection
Being available at all times after the inspection for questions

Free six pack of craft beer with every inspection.

Work close with every client and explain the property conditions as I go.
Not only good for the client but serves as a great way for me to clarify and enforce my narrative dialog in the report.
"Just got off the phone explaining that to a future client".
