Default Common Consumer Questions

Can you guys give me a list of 5-10 questions that you're often asked by consumers. Things that are specific to inspections in general, not your business specifically...

Thanks,

1 - How much do things cost to repair?
2 - Is something major or minor?
3 - What should I do next?
4 - Can I pay you the second Tuesday of next week?
5 - Do you own a jet ski? I'm going to sue you when I get home.

Do you do the inspection or do you sub them out?
What kind of experience do you have?
Why aren't you a member of ASHI?
Do you print the report onsite?

3. The realtor told me to call you, what is a home inspection?

...beats me!

4. What do you inspect?

...uh...maybe...the...uh... home??

5. Will you tell me the value of the house?

...the value of a house is in its ability to keep you warm and dry...

6. What is Radon, Mold, etc...
...Raydon Mold owns a delicatessen down the street.

I sure wouldn't eat a sammich from a deli with a name like Raydon Mold.

I take that back, I probably would!

Default Re: Common Consumer Questions

When can you do it?
When do I get the report?
Can you test the A.C. this time of year?
Are you certified?
Will you come do the inspection or are you sending an employee?
Where are you located?
