Default Going Nuts!

Is anyone else seeing a HUGE increase in business right now? Things are just going NUTS! Kind of reminds me of the good old days back in 03-05

InterNACHI was generally slow last week. Then today we got slammed. Steady phone calls all day and the phone is still ringing. 16 new members. Well over 2,000 emails. Many hundreds of courses taken. Site traffic heavy.

I have people begging me to keep next Tuesday open for them until 5:00 tomorrow night so they can get their Inspection Contingency Period extended so I'll inspect the house....I told him I'm booked solid until next Tuesday---Yep, it's crazy out there...!!

Email I just got.

Can you hold that day open for me until tomorrow at five while I work on getting my inspection date extended? If you can't I understand. My only concern with using you frankly is that you will be so thorough that the seller will refuse to address all the items. But I guess that's ok. I guess if they don't I will tell them to pound sand. I really don't care about the price for the inspection. I just asked that as a matter of course.

Yep, late at night I saw that and the next morning the phone starting ringing.
All of a sudden I am getting calls from people I have not heard from in ages and jobs are all off referrals.
Even a draw Inspection company called for first time in a long time.

Just finished a report,Two confirmations an email from a referral ,a testimonial sent from Friday's (a Doctor)and need to start tonights report then on way home booked another for afternoon tomorrow.

Even had an inspector buddy send me info for a permanent Insurance Inspection gig with benefits if I want it yesterday.
Had nothing for almost a month till Friday when I felt well enough to work.

Only told a few people how sick I was as I could barely get out of bed.

I have steady mold calls now again. The month before was pretty sad. April was my best month ever.

Hey Brian,

Our Market hear in the Central valley and Bay Area of California has been really good for almost a year. I hope this continues. I am up 35% this year over last year. I hope it lasts!
