I was thinking about starting to offer annual maintenance inspections for my clients and was wondering if anyone has a checklist of things that should be checked during the inspection. Of course things such as plumbing and cleaning gutters should be inspected but I know there is a lot more and I want to make sure I check everything that should be checked. Also, I was wondering about the best way to price these inspections. Any advise?
My MAINTENANCE inspections were priced at 75% of a full buyer’s inspection. The reason why is because with a MAINTENANCE inspection I didn’t spend any time noting what the property was constructed with (concrete tile roof, stucco exterior, masonry chimney, copper plumbing, etc.). Since I didn’t have to take time making those notes and then conveying that information to my Client, I passed the time savings, translated into dollar bills, to my Client.
