East Coast Inspectors needed for Draw Inspections ASAP

[Lisa Endza]

These are Draw Inspections for Mortgage Lenders. A simple progress report on what has been done in the progress of the construction. No quality checks, just progress. About ten minutes on site and ten minutes on the computer to report.

The base price is $45 but they will pay more for driving greater distances than normal. They pay monthly, either by Direct Deposit or check.

Lisa, I think it's great that INACHI can provide this kind of connection between inspector and lender.

Now what needs to be worked out is the fee, in my area most lenders pay $125.00 - $150.00 per draw. It's time for these draw companies to step up to the plate. $45.00 - $50.00 is just not worth it.

Maybe they should take out an add in ARRP.

[Peter C. Russell]

PS, Lisa, Nick provides plenty of opportunities, why not a SOP for draw inspections as well as an agreement that we all can market directly to the local lenders????

[pgirten]

Lisa,

I too think it is great for the opportunity, however, from personal experience they require more than 20 minutes to survey, photographically document, download all the photos to the computer, and fill out the report to email.

In addition, if you don't respond within hours to the email for the inspection, it is passed on to another inspector.


So to sum it up... 1. you have to drop what you're doing to respond to them
2. in addition to at least a 30 minute drive each way,
spend atleast another 45 minutes to inspect and then
report
3. wait up to a month (depending where you fall in the
billing cycle) for your money
4. all this for $ 45

Sounds like a nuisence to me! If they paid at least $ 125 and paid the inspectors in the hurry up fashion they want us to respond in, it would be worth bragging about!

[Lisa Endza]

Peter

I'll pass the info on to Nick to see about the SOP!

I got all the info from Jim yesterday but since he's in a pretty big hurry to get these inspections done asap, he might be willing to up the payment. You should contact him direct to see

[Peter C. Russell]

Lisa, I think INACHI should be able to establish an sop, contract/agreement ETC so we inspectors can market directly to the lenders in our area. I know some of the banks are not happy with the timing and quality of the inspection they receive from the big nationals. This could be a good market in slow times and most banks are requiring them on the remodel projects they are financing.

[pgirten]

Hey Lisa,

Yeah, he's in a big hurry. I don't care how you slice it... travel time, inspection time, travel time back to the office, download the pictures Jim reqiures of you, fill out their report it's always 1.5 hours.

$ 45!!!!!!!!

I spend 2.5 hours on an average inspection for $ 300.00

Do the math!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At $ 100 per hour where I set my own hours and don't have to hop through their hoops why would I subject myself to that BS?

NACHI inspectors deserve better and I hope you get with the program!!!!

[ldapkus]

SOS. This will never change. It just gives people something to ***** about. There are home inspectors taking on part time jobs to make ends meet and these cheap *** jobs pay better than Home Depot or Lowe's. No all home inspectors are mechanical engineers.

[pgirten]

Just reading that response...it's perfectly obvious!
On the phone the other day, I told Jim his jobs were not worth my time.
If we all stand up and tell him what to do with his $ 30.00 per hour rate he'll have no choice but to pay us what we derserve. If people do otherwise...oh well!
My education has nothing to do with what NACHI inspectors deserve to be paid. Obviously your lack of education drags us all to the bottom!

Pete,
All of my draw inspections are $150.00 each PLUS mileage.

It's time for these draw companies to step up to the plate. $45.00 - $50.00 is just not worth it.
This is the type of garbage that holds our industry down.
Maybe they should take out an add in ARRP.

Well written!
Thank you!

[pgirten]

Frank,

Well written, it's a breath of fresh air to hear another educated response!
I agree completely...it's this type of garbage that holds our industry down.

Hi Lisa!
NACHI carries a lot of clout! When you next speak to these people I would ask you to tell them that;
1. $45.00 - $50.00 dollar "per draw" inspections are an INSULT to our inspectors.

2. Our Standard rates are $125.00 - $150.00 per draw PLUS Mileage.

I had some IDIOT call me and wanted to "Pay" me $45.00 to do a so called Draw Inspection and to offered to pay me 15c per mile to drive 247 miles ONE way! .

You say that they are desperate! The $45 - $50.00 fee is why they are desperate!

No self respecting CERTIFIED / Legitimate inspector who has been in this industry for some time would stoop so low as to wreck our industry by playing into their hands.

Another scumbag association is "Paying" $6.00 .... that is right SIX DOLLARS for their inspections. I could not believe it when some frigging IDIOT came onto the BB and actually admitted that he was conducting "inspections" for 6-lousy dollars!.

Home Depot & Lowe's are paying from $18.50 to $35.00 per hour up here. That includes all kinds of benefits !!

Why would any self respecting legitimate inspector debase himself for a lousy $45. - $50.00 per "draw inspection" that is going to take;
1. Drive Time to the inspection.

2. Inspection time.

3. Drive time back to the office.

4. Time to write the report.

5. Time to download and EDIT the photos.

6. Time to send the report.


and then .... you have to wait a MONTH for your money! For $45.00 to $50.00 dollars!

Come on Lisa ... stand up for us ... give them hell!

[pgirten]

Thank you Frank,

This is what I've been saying all along. If anybody has been reading the responses above, we have an "inspector" from Illinois who thinks differently and has resorted to attacking me personally instead of stating the facts such as we have. How sad! Hey Linus, clean up in aisle 5!

[ldapkus]

I got something for you to clean up Patty. Here's the facts: I did over 500 draws in 2007. I didn't have to suck up to realtors for inspections. Got 3 scheduled for tomorrow... so far.
