I recommend you get as much education on the inspection process as possible. And then if you find someone in your area that has the proper experience. And ask them if you can shadow them for a while....good luck

Come to the meeting this weekend in West Palm Beach. You can learn a lot by talking to some of the people there. Plus we will be discussing Wind Mits.

It is rough. There is a ton of competition and it all revolves around price Just about anyone now qualifies to do the insurance stuff.

With the Hi's you can sell quality and service but with the insurance stuff it is all about price

My advice: Read every word of www.nachi.org/success.htm ... and then make it your inspection business "to do" list.
