Good evening my fellow inspectors, I have my first inspection coming up. Any suggestions?
Become a paying member of INACHI.
You guys pay?
Check this thread:
rYAN before you speak, know your facts. I was a paid member until I lost my job due to medical issues so before you speak on me, to me or about me or anyone for that matter KNOW YOUR FACTS…ARE YOU PREJUDICE ? RYAN UECKER
I didn’t say anything about you being a member. I didn’t even say anything at all to you, except to imply to “never let them see you sweat.” And that is my advice. Go in with confidence.
Ryan didn’t say anything about you being a paying member. I was. It’s not about being prejudice or knowing facts. If you want to be a professional inspector, be certified and be insured. That requires being a paid member.
WELL jEFF YOU KNOW AND RYAN I APOLOGISE. JEFF YOU ARE PREJUDICE. PRECONCEIVED OPION THAT IS NOT BASED ONREASON OR ACTUAL EXPERIENCE…PREJUDICE DEFINITION YOU ARE. PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT, REPLY, LIKE, SHARE, OR MENTION ME ANYMORE. HAVE A GREAT NIGHT
Ryan, I apologize, the thread came up attached to your post. I sincerely apologize.
It looks like you have things all figured out. I see a bright future.
Thank you Larry.
Obviously, I am going to become certified and insured. I was on my way before my diagnosis. Thank you, I am sorry if I took the tone of your message wrong, but of course I am planning on becoming certified and insured. thank you great night.
No problem. Don’t be too hard on Jeff though. He was just trying to be helpful. Membership can help significantly, but I do understand your circumstances now, and I’m sure Jeff does as well. We don’t always have that info when first replying. Best of luck in your new adventure!
Don’t screw up!
WOW, chill out dude!
I recommend having your first report proof-read by a friend, or subscribe to a grammar checking software. Your clients may have prejudice and make assumptions about your intelligence if your report is hard to read and understand.
David also gave good advice… Take a chill-pill before your inspection so your anger does not negatively impact your ability to make a positive and lasting first impression with your client(s) and the agents involved.
Show up early and take your time. Don’t rush the inspection. You will get faster with experience. Never rush. Trust your training and have confidence that you know what you are doing.
Good Luck, Adria. Welcome to your new career as a home inspector.
@agreen17 I understand that life is tough and all of us have to deal with adversities. You’re not alone and WE ALL want to help you succeed. BUT, you can’t be as reactive as you came across on this thread. This forum can beat you up a bit but its for your own good. Iron sharpens iron.
If you’re going to run a successful business, you must keep a calm demeanor to the best of your abilities…especially when dealing with your clients. They’re going to test you much more than anyone here (mostly, lol) and without great interactions with your clients, you’re not going to make it too far in any business.
Not just this thread…
The reactive part starts with the caustic comments.
As if he is personally burdened by non-members or new inspectors questions. Jeff hasn’t yet figured out he doesn’t run the show. He should go in the corner and count himself!
