You need to determine your own value and set your rates accordingly. If you want to be an average inspector, choose an average rate. Houston is a large enough market to support exceptional inspectors at corresponding rates. There are also plenty of discount rate inspectors. With a little research, you will find stating fees ranging from <$200 to >$600 for a basic inspection on a smaller home. Some individuals may do 3+/day at the lower and and some only 1/day at the upper end. Obviously, you should expect to see radical differences in the quality of work performed and value added to the client across this spectrum and the talented guys are often engaged on higher end homes so their average fee may be well above their minimum fee.

Need a quality website, domain and company name that’s well known/respected in the Houston market and has produced an average inspection fee over $750? I know where there’s one available.
