O.K. Bruce, whats with the complaint about the inspection rates going up $125.00? That sounds good for all of us. Every home inspector I have ever met is always complaining about how the service is worth so much more but with all these “low ballers”, they can’t possibly raise their rates. Now when someone finally raises their rates and gets the money they deserve you want an investigation? I’m not trying to bash or sound harsh, just curious as to the reasoning behind the complaint.
Also, to everyone who says that there is a “National company” in a RE office, a pay for play racket, etc, why not post who it is? Lets call these folks onto the carpet and let the public and/or elected officials know whats going on. If they have a known office its not like its a big secret. Why tip toe around naming names if this is fact?
Sure!

The general public will eventually learn not to use the realtors favorite inspectors and many of them have, I am busy and do not market to realtors.
The sad thing is some of these guy’s even think they know how to properly inspect and report on a house. We all miss some little things here and there but missing over 10-20 items per house is out of line folks.
The state SOP’s do not have a provison for the inspector to decide what gets reported, the SOP’s require full disclosure of the property conditions in a written report.
