Out of curiosity, how would most price an inspection I did this week. Some background on my area; Semi rural, with a lot of second homes, summer homes because of the recreational lake. Cabins and vacation rentals. Approximately 12k full time residents in the county. Inventory is very low after the past 2 year frenzy. Subject property: 2/1 frame built on slab on grad in 2018. One level, 984 sq. ft. No garage, out buildings, etc. Low slope roof, no fireplace. No views, very simple. Less than 5 miles to subject property Client is retired military. I know other factors may be considered, but what is your thoughts on a initial qoute? ---

Retired military near by. I would probably do $350-$375 cash. ---

Not a reasonable question. The answer is location specific. ---

True. That’s why I gave a scenario of my area and specifically, Hiawassee GA. Feel free to research. ---

I think the $350 mark is reasonable. In and out in two hours. ---

Man walks into a realtors office. Late morning. He says look (he’s nervous) I’m a new home inspector to the area. How much are you guys paying, I’m just asking". Man does this 3 times. Hard work. But surprisingly enjoyable. ---

The second is asking them “How much are you guys paying” When was last time a RE agent decided that? [Next page](https://forum.nachi.org/t/pricing-for-home-inspections/214454.md?page=2)
