This post will be a little about my trade as a Home Inspector and performing Home Inspections
First of all, let me say that if I didn't enjoy helping people, I couldn't do this. We are a interesting group of people that have a diverse background in engineering, construction and so on.
You have to be good at what you do, this is paramount. People are paying you and trusting you to ensure that the home they are buying is what they think it is. Most inspectors, myself included are very thorough. I prepare electronic reports with pictures and captions etc. I have to compete with someone who runs through the home and low balls the rest of us. I really do perform one of the best home inspections in Antelope Valley
You have to be good at marketing, most customers are people you've never met before. Not to say you don't have a bit of a client base, it's just that with the internet there are so many choices and I like to think I'm in a good position to help people. I don't always know what my position is to BE FOUND. That's a different story and then some.
I'll keep this short until next time, but at the end of the day, sometimes I get to catch what know one else did. I was the second person on this job and the crawlspace was intimidating looking. The first person missed this:

I know I did truly help my client and they were able to present the issues as needed. That's my job!
That's it for now!
