Very male dominated profession... changing for the better.

[Kenneth Lott]

I have found that women tend to be the best in whatever profession they choose, because they are always being targeted for criticism. Welcome

[mjohnson6]

Nothing wrong with being a male dominated field as long as were not being old school about it..

Welcome Fellow Sisters In The Trade.

[Michael W. Gault]

I always recommend people use a Lady Realtor when buying new construction...
They do NOT overlook any of the little things a Gentleman Realtor might find perfectly functioning but have 'scratches' and the like...

I suspect I will not want a Lady Inspector to look over my house to sell... And welcome Ladies...

[James F. McKee]

Breaking scientific news: Men and women are different.

The home inspection profession takes more communication skills than brute strength. I don't see why more women aren't attracted to the profession.

Furthermore, from a marketing standpoint (and I love marketing), women have an advantage. For the most part, the general public views women in predominantly men's industrys as having to have "worked harder to get there" and "extra" competent. I learned this from listening to children (who often speak the truth). I used to own a heavy equipment company so my kids grew up playing with actual backhoe's instead of toy Tonka trucks. Once we were in the car and passed a young lady operating a Gradall on a road crew. I overheard my sons, who at the time were about age 6 and 9, talking about how "good" she must be.

A female in a predominantly male profession is assumed (correctly or incorrectly) to be better qualified. This fact can be exploited for marketing purposes.
