best inspector: Free Home Inspections
- 03/24/07 10:17 AM
I am giving free home inspections away for a price. Sounds like some of the scams that want to give you $15,000,000.00. I thought it was time to lighten up for a minute. I give no discounts, or freebies, for my work. Having me is a discount in and of itself. I know that sounds arogant but I have the credentials to justify that statement. If I charge the same as an un-certified person, isn't that a discount enough? Being certified I have nothing to prove. It is what it is. Being certified I can explain to your client how important or not important something is. … (0 comments)

best inspector: Copy & Paste

Anyone can copy and paste someone else's matterial, and I do that sometimes too. The main reason that I copy and paste is to show everyone reading that the information is from a credible source. I try not to bombbard you with alot selfserving information. In the State of Ohio there are no requlations. While there are 'some' good home inspection organizations, there are some that just try to baffle you with BS. God forbid that you would ever have to defend yourself in court, who would you like to say that you recommended? Someone certified by the state (this is for persons in Ohio) … (1 comments)
