Becomes an inspector in May of this year, now has 6 employees.

[Nick Gromicko]

It was great meeting member Ken Wild of Florida Central Home Inspections yesterday. He moved to Florida in February, got grandfathered through InterNACHI, opened his inspection business in May, and now has 6 inspectors working for him.

All of his employees are InterNACHI members.

Those employees must be getting rich.
Not much to go around with numbers like that.

I guess Volume is the motto to keep money flowing, one surely cannot make money with prices like this, really incredible.

There is no possible mathematical equation available to relate the cost of being self employed with employees utilizing these numbers and make a profit inspecting homes according to the standards of practice after performing a comprehensive inspection and writing a report.

Over 4000 sq/ft call for pricing
When ordering a comprehensive home inspection you can get a wind mitigation inspection for an additional $ 25.00. If you are buying a home built before 2002 this is a must.... It will almost always help you save on your homeowners insurance.

Hard to believe anyone is inspecting homes at these prices. It may take some time, but one cannot stay in business using this price structure.

I suppose you could just do a poor report style and get in and out with court suits part of your business model.

He's gettin' a piece of all his inspector's inspections, every day. Adding it up doesn't take a calculator.

That is why you should work "only" for yourself.

Never understand how people have zero ambition but many are happy to just survive and do less I suppose.

He's still a low-baller, which helps drive prices down in his market area.

I'm sure that doesn't reflect well with other Nachi/Florida inspectors.

Based upon some of your prior posts, we thought you already did! Oh, that's right, we jumped your arse about that a year or so ago, and you listened! (We think).

Even so, at one an hour, that's still triple what McDonalds pays. Hell of a pay raise!!

[Michael J. Meeker]

I still do insurance inspections relatively competitive. I never have been cheap on home inspections. $350 at the cheapest. I may have to lower insurance inspections again because of competition like this.
