I guess I'm wondering how SHE got your email that you sent to the inspector? I can only guess...

As far as I am concerned, your email was very polite and professional.

Interesting... Did you ever hear back from the inspector?

Apparently he was cozier with the agent than you thought.

Hope he wasn't paying to be on her list, that would really upset him to know she even considered using you.

There are inspectors who pay to be on a Realtor's list?

You know Chuck for some reason I'll bet they are both a little "put out"
Wasn't really my intentions but for some reason the whole thing makes me smile.....

Hey George,
Well I guess you could say I am a newby to the business in Austin, less than a year. But I have my prices on what I charge, and im not going down just to get a job, especially doing it for chump change.
