Greg, that has certainly been a topic on a number of other threads; my intention was to give a warm and supportive welcome to a new member!


Perhaps we can keep our laundry hampers where they are now (which is almost in every room. . . . icon_sad.gif )

I am just as committed to this cause as you are to promoting a positive appearance within NACHI. I think they are both worthwhile endeavors. I hope that we each get what we are looking for here.

Hmmmm I dont know whats wrong with me but the find an inspector site hasnt gotten me anything. I do like a lot of the benefits and all but I wish the ones thats supposed to help would. The only inspections I had so far all got canceled the day after that news report. Is there any other inspectors from PA with the same trouble? (if not send some my way lol) I am not complaining about NACHI so please dont take it that way, just want some business, and that just doesnt do anything for me.

My sister told me about him and then my REALTOR told me about him.

I found him on NACHI's website and then saw his literature at my bank.


Anyway... there is a rule as to how homebuyers choose inspectors...

They will choose the first home inspector they are referred to or discover twice.

There is something about finding a home inspector's contact information in two or more places that is so powerful that almost nothing can offset it.

Lorne Steiner talks about this a lot. You have to hit them with several impressions in a row to have a chance of being the first inspector they discover twice.

Many times I've asked the homebuyer what site you saw the inspector on or what was the inspector's web address... they have no clue... so how could you determine where someone finds you?... you can't. If you could I'd be thrilled.

It is impossible to determine which impressions have hit your client (because the client can't even remember)... especially these days where almost all the homebuyers are researching on the internet... where surfing is done so quickly with almost no lingering tangible reminder of the impression.

The only thing an individual inspector (even one who is asking his clients where they "found" him) can say about where their inspections come from is to look at the traffic stats of inspection sites dedicated to homebuyers only. NACHI.org's traffic means nothing as most of it is generated by inspectors, not clients. Sites like www.InspectorSEEK.com and www.FindanInspector.us that have solely consumer traffic are the important ones... but trust me... no client surfing the internet will EVER recall what website address it was they hit.

Don't take my word for it... next time you are on a job site, ask your client if he can tell you the address of even your website ![icon_lol.gif](upload://zEgbBCXRskkCTwEux7Bi20ZySza.gif) And he/she hired you! No way will they be able to do it... let alone be able to tell you the site address like www.InspectorSEEK.com or www.FindanInspector.US that listed your contact information. Absolutely impossible.

Try it... if you find one client in your entire career as a home inspector who can tell you the address (URL) of your website... I'll buy you dinner, next time we meet... for life.

Like I said, I seriously doubt that any inspector reading this has had even one client who could correctly recall his/her inspector's website address (URL) much less the lead generation sites owned and operated by the association that inspector belongs to. Impossible with a capital "I."

I’ll give an example of lead generation being solely a numbers game (pay attention you goofy inspectors still sitting on NAHI’s dead horse icon_lol.gif )…


You can go to www.alexa.com (an Amazon.com company) and discover that NACHI's one page client lead generator www.FindanInspector.US gets more Consumer hits (the good kind) than ALL hits to NAHI's entire website! ![icon_lol.gif](upload://zEgbBCXRskkCTwEux7Bi20ZySza.gif)

Anyway... way off topic... sorry all.
