Did someone flip the off switch again?

[Brian K. Smith]

Sure seems like the home sales around here have just about died the last 6+ weeks...anyone else seen this drop off. Its like someone fliped the switch overnight. Last week ran into a few that do full HI for 149.00. a local roofing co now doing FREE roof insp and this is a LARGE co around here....WTF is this world coming too... whats next!

To add reroof market is gone to chet guys now roofing a home for $800.00 after all materials are paid....holly crap!

CORRECTION i am not at 149.... thats the other guys in

Maybe if you raised your prices, people would take you more seriously.

My base fee is more than double your fee and I'm booked solid through next week - including the weekend.

Even that is a little on the low side for Chicago.
Average Love Shack is closer to $350-$400 on average around here except me at $75.

And Mine is 350.00.....So yea. I still see the 149.99 specials and just laugh at it. Good thing I have a solid base of agents that recommend me.

120 K was a friend of mine.
I am remaining at 1 Inspector (me) for now.
A strong referral base keeps me busy without a need to advertise.

Yeah, 75k a week is OK for this market. I did double that last week since my underwear shots on Twitter.
