As a home inspector, I wish there was more positive mentorship. Hearing this I wish I had a mentor like you two to help me.

These talks are really helping me get some direction when starting my home inspection business. Thanks to all 3 of you! God bless.

I am a new inspector but have been working with home inspection reports for the past 13 years in my handyman business. I never thought of structuring my reports like this but now that I hear it I can remember finding problems not listed on reports simply because they were written like you suggest. Going to work on my template to take advantage of your guidance. Thank you!

Never give an absolute in a report, always leave a way out and past tense or appears are 2 of the best ways. Attorney's will pick apart a report word by word and will hinge their case on a word and now you're stuck defending why you used that. This knowledge is based on past experience with attorneys and my investigation reports. If your comment can be backed up by photos even better.

Good advice!

perfect since I'm re-writing most of my template Tuesday

Thanks for sharing

Sorry, at 1:06 Darth Vader says, "Luke, I am your father." Not sure where you guys came up with that one. I believe the dispute comes up in the difference between the director's cut and the final cut. In one Vader says "Luke, I am your father" and in the other he says "No, I am your father." Splitting hairs by one word. ruclips.net/video/_nSvn54WCxY/видео.html

Great info guys! I really wish you would have expanded on what you do on an admin day.

keep up the great work, you guys have the best podcast out there.

we got to gatekeeper this

like the comment about qualified vs licensed,

Such great info for other inspectors to know. My mentor taught me this years ago and I've been stressing it to my inspectors when I train them. I always tell them if we can find a way to put in the report to have the whole (roof, windows, electrical, foundation, etc) looked at it's a benefit for us and the client. Windows is a great example, especially when there's a seal issue. Our report will read that broken seals may not always be visible at every window, depending on temperatures and time of day. Recommend having a qualified contractor evaluate all windows.

Nailed it to a t

AI won't crawl the entire crawlspace so I think us home inspectors should be safe 😂

Yeah saving this one

Awesome video. Great ideas. How would i get ahold Ian. Maybe for a video chat. I have a ton of questions

told you i would get to on my lunch break

Wow this podcast may have changed my whole perspective on the path forward. Focus on commercial buildings. Very interesting

I'm listening to the part being called a "doo doo head" and what not. Even in the military my response is always " I've been called worse by better"

Holy crap. As a serving member of the Canadian military and taking the Internachi courses this episode is great

I love the real talk you have on the show. Not trying to sell anything or anything like that. Telling real stories. Awesome

Another banger episode

I'm currently taking the Internachi courses and going to start my own company. These are all great points. Thanks

Great episode guys. Wow. Loved the end bit about family as well

Great one, Ian!

keep up the good work!

Another great show! Thanks again, fellas!

you need a buyers market with homes that are priced REAL!......as a new inspector 250 sounds good when you cant compete with the "good ole boy club" MASTER inspectors.....or i could go back into construction DEMO for 20 bucs an hour...back broke, pissed off, and working with murders and bank robbers....lol....250 SOUNDS SUPER!!!!!! 3 a day with thermal, 4point and wind mit in the mix....yeh thats the ticket!

Love this information I need a reference guide if you have it!

The Pareto distribution is expected when you have positive feedback loops. Do a good job for your clients, they refer you to your peers. More work give you more opportunities to enhance your reputation. But, it can be a real challenge to get that feedback loop started.

Thanks y’all!!

What do you guys consider the "top inspectors"?

Great info and ideas. Thanks 😃

Totally agree: we are professional consultants. Great episode.

Make no mistake. Realtors have become VERY crafty at removing us from the equation. That's a new dynamic.

Currently taking my classes online! There’s more piece of advice you could give to someone breaking into the industry. What would it be?

good stuff!

I dont think the real estate market is going anywhere anytime soon. The insurance premiums are through the roof right now, HOA fee's are through the roof, taxes are slightly up and there are new fees associated with the buyer agent side comission, so with all these factors even the .5 cut in interest rate is really barely enticing people to sell/buy/

Thanks fellas!

I have a question about setting up Google AdWords for a home Inspector, is there an email address I can send message to?

THIS. You are spot on. To be honest, this is what I've been trying to say, and didn't make the connection to articulate it in this way. I am the highest priced inspector in my economically depressed area, and my business is thriving. I charge the most, and therefore feel the need to always deliver on it. That means I set the bar high and I work hard to deliver the very best inspection experience and report. My Google reviews reflect what I deliver, and clients actually mention that my prices are high but worth every penny. Which then only helps to drive more business. FEAR is what keeps inspectors at the bottom or in the middle. Be courageous. Be the highest priced, and also, be the very best. Your business will thank you. The biggest mistake inspectors make is assuming clients want an "affordable" inspector. They don't. They want the very best. They WILL use pricing as a way to judge that.

Samsung Refrigerator??

Thanks again, sir!

Yup! Many inspectors fight for the worst clients by lowering their prices.

Another great show! Thank you so much!

I’m doing my online courses now. Any tips for getting started after I get my license?

Great show! Thank you

Great episode!!

Great and Informative video! I have two questions, it is possible to get into commercial inspection without becoming a home inspector first? (Florida). 2. Is Florida a good state to be in this area? How viable is to have at least 1-2 inspections a week when you are starting out? Thank you for your time and knowledge. Sorry to bother you.
