Mathematically impossible. There aren’t 300,000 homes worth $47 million in all of Florida.

Here is the formula for calculating how much real estate you’ve inspected in your career:
[Number of years in business] X [AVERAGE number of days worked per year] X [AVERAGE home price of homes inspected] X [AVERAGE number of inspections per day] = total amount of real estate inspected. If you give us those 4 numbers, I’ll times them by each other and tell you what their product is.
But even if you inspect 4 high-end homes a day and worked 6 days a week for 30 years, you could only get into the billions. A trillion though, is 1,000 billion. You’re way off. Unless of course you’ve been doing inspections since there were dinosaurs.
Nick,
Please don’t dispute Russell. After all, he is the one who pointed out that my website and reports are a piece of c r a p, but in the mean time posts expired licenses on his own site.
Now THAT’s truly phenomenal.
And I don’t know WHY you cant figure out how Russell did it.
At an average value of $25mil in Naples, just 4 inspections account for $100 mil. So 40 houses account for 1 billion. So 40 times a thousand is just 40,000 houses valued at $25mil account for a trillion $$$
Russell likely has two trucks equipped with toilets. He and his band of inspectors probably complete two two inspections each per day, for 4 inspections.
So, with this model, Russell only needs 10,000 inspection days to reach a trillion dollar sales mark. Totally doable.
Counting 365 days a year, 10,000 inspection days is a mere 27 years or so.7 days a week. 4 inspections per day of $25,000,000 homes.
And you say this is mathematically impossible?
Are you kidding me?
Next thing you’ll be saying is that there aren’t 40,000 houses in Naples worth $25mil each…
What a bunch of crap.
WAIT A MINUTE… Russell said three (3) trillion.
Better get more portable toilets…
BTW… Russell may have graduated from the PNT School of Creative Mathematics
I believe we all do a good job…We all know what we need to do, but many lack people skills. That is one major keys to success.
Yeah ! We can all versed the rhetoric etc… you need to fix this or that, but when it come to dealing with people that is a all new animal.
To answer the question . I have been told I have good people skills.
Thats what makes me special.
I like people ! And I do the very best job I can.
I approach every inspection as if I’m buying this home.
Kinda’ makes it easier for me because I approach each the same.
No doubt he went to the same “school” Nate did.
Despite Russell’s insistence, he means 3 billion, not 3 trillion. There may be only one letter difference between the two words, and they may rhyme, but a trillion is 1,000 billion.
He’s a good inspector. I’d hire him to inspect my home. I just wouldn’t hire him to tutor my kid at math. 
LOL…well I might be wrong, OK way wrong…
Let’s see the company has performed 27,458 Full Fee paid Home Inspections.
The average price varies by year…and in the past 5 years we do a ton of higher end homes. So lets just go with an average of $300,000
I guess that is no where near 3 trillion…LMAO…OK I was wrong.
Its only a little over 8 billion…
You guys are right and I am wrong…How the hell I figured it up before is beyond me…Maybe some sleep would do me well…
Once again, you guys are correct and I am wrong…
Hey where is that crap sample report you give to people? I may be way off in my math, and I admit it. Now admit your report sucks and we are even…
Joe, remember, I like my ladder set up the proper way…Keep it nice and steady…If not, I guess you will be on truck crapper duty…

We all have our skill sets. Yours is inspecting Russell, which is why I said, I’d hire you to inspect for me.
LOL…thanks…My God, there are people who have billions of dollars…HOLY crap they can buy every house my company has EVER inspected…Man that’s a boat load of money
I have nothing at all against Mr. Farsetta. I enjoy reading the drama that him and Nate secretly conjure up together to keep us reading these posts…:roll:
But if the report Russel linked to a while back is an actual example, well, it’s Crap…
Sorry…
Russel, it makes no difference how you say it, spell it, or word it, or even mis- calculate it-- It’s a butt load of inspections and undoubtedly a butt load of money. Probably easy to spend in South Florida, though.
I’ll bet you’re just pissed cause you don’t qualify. :lol:
Save the Manatees!
:mrgreen:
That is pretty funny…I am pet friendly…I don’t kill anything…even a cockroach…I set them free outside.
But sometimes I get in trouble. I got busted speeding in a manatee zone. Hell I moved here from Saudi Arabia…I didn’t even know what a manatee was, let alone a manatee zone!
I thought the PET Friendly thing was ridiculous. But then members who started using it reported back to me. People are bonkers nuts about their pets. They like other people with pets and they like to talk about pets. The logo works.
You wouldn’t laugh if it had something to do with child safety… to some potential clients, their pets are their children.
Here is the free checklist BTW: http://www.inspectoroutlet.com/pet-safety-checklist.aspx Keep a few copies in your document box in your inspection vehicle. If you have a pet owner for a client, they’ll eat this thing up (figuratively that is).
