In any given work day I receive numerous phone calls. For the most part people are seeking information on home inspections or related issues. The majority of people I speak with choose to use my service but some do not, which is fine. What seems to bother me on occasion though is when people tell me that I am ‘expensive’. Unfortunately many people are misguided about home inspection costs due to disinformation. Managing a home inspection business is like any other business, it requires a substantial outlay of cash each and every month. Low priced inspections are usually low in quality with questionable inspectors at best. They make their money in volume. The purpose of a home inspection is to inform and educate the client about their purchase. It is a means of protecting them from potential pitfalls in this expensive investment that they are making. The inspection should never be viewed as just a point to check off in the home purchasing process yet for some it seems this is how they view it, which is unfortunate. I have built a strong reputation over the years by working hard for my clients, which is why I am referred so often. I am always frustrated though when someone chooses an inspector based principally on cost. Whether an individual chooses me as their inspector or another is not the important thing.  The important thing is to choose an inspector who is experienced, properly qualified, one whom you feel comfortable with and who will provide you with a quality inspection report. While price comparison is always healthy, never short change yourself out of a quality home inspection.
