I found an article on Home inspection reports and what to expect. This is very important because the report shows how detailed you inspected the property and shows your client how hard you worked for them. This detailed report is a key in building trust and showing your customer your knowledge and expertise. This is how you get repeat customers and have customers spread the word about your great work. The article covers the history of the inspection report. It tells the customer what they should look for when hiring an inspector. It covers new developments in software and how software with detailed checklist can give the client a very detailed inspection report. It goes over the narrative content of the report such as describing the conditions and concerns as well as recommendations to fix or solve problems. The report covers all sections of a house such as electrical, plumbing, structure, heating, etc.

My weakest area. How to get customers with all of the competition and their high powered advertising and realtor buddy links already established is a question I’ve been unable to answer. I’m about to give up on this.
I just completed the course today. This course is very informative, a little bit repetitive but well worth it if communication with others is not your strong suit. I really like how non-verbal communication was emphasized through this course, it’s very true, your posture, attire and behavior will let them know if they ever want to do business with you or your company ever again.
looking forward to starting this particular course
I’m a total noob so forgive me if I’m clueless but I suspect you did not calculation that correctly. If the span is 24 then the slope can’t be 12/24 unless it’s a lean-to because slope only relates to the run, not the span. Assuming the roof is symmetrical wouldn’t the slope be 12/12 and the pitch be 1/2?
Starting the course.
