Numbers can be deceiving. I did 7 inspections yesterday- 1 home inspection,1 mold inspection, 1 HUD QC inspection, 1 construction draw inspection and 3 appraisal drive-by inspections.
Not possible! Especially in today’s slow R/E market.
It’s a marketing scheme.
Thanks guys for your responses! I am finding the challenges of growing to a multi-inspector firm difficult. The biggest problem that I have had is getting the Realtor to use another inspector instead of me. Approx numbers in my area…For every 10 sales, 7-8 get inspections. Out of those 7-8, 5 are either booked directly by the Realtor or the client books with the one of Realtor referrels. So, only 2-3 clients do their own research to book an inspector. Therefore, the Realtor influences 63-71% of all inspections. The problem I have had is that the Realtor usually deals with 2-3 inspectors and would rather refer their “back-up” inspector than use my inspector. I’m sure I’m not alone, otherwise we would have more multi’s up here. Any tips on overcoming this would be appreciated.
