Common Consumer Questions

[Chris Morrell, CTO]

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,

Thanks,

1. Are you insured?
2. Do you get in the attic or crawlspace?
3. The realtor told me to call you, what is a home inspection?
4. What do you inspect?
5. Will you tell me the value of the house?
6. What is Radon, Mold, etc...

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.

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

I take that back, I probably would!
