Wow! I received a call from a Realtor today and he was inquiring about a home inspection. I'd like to call him a price-shopper because that's exactly what he was doing. I got the information for the home and told him my price. He said he can get it done for $100 less than my price--I let it go because I don't overcharge; I'm a professional and my clients receive the BEST service for half the price.
I later called him back because I wanted to know if I could add him to my mailing list and also where he heard of me. Afterwards, I mentioned that a couple people in the area are grossly under-cutting "Professional" home inspector's prices, so be careful. My concern is for the clientele in that they are receiving the best for their money. A couple tips I recommended, not to insult his intelligence, were are these inspectors insured; are they trained; and in CA since there isn't a licensure requirement--are the inspectors at least certified?
Here is the quote, "I don't personally care if they are certified."
My thought--I wonder how much this gentlemen cares about his client. Certification means alot in spite of no license. Training isn't even required in CA. I didn't press the issue. Thoughts?
