What real estate agents should know about termite companies....

By
Home Inspector with Arden Termite And Pest Control
A lot of "bigger" termite companies pay their inspectors a commission. This is nothing new, but when I talk to real estate agents, I have found that a lot of them do not realize that their favorite termite inspector is actually pocketing a percentage of everything they sell to your clients. Our inspectors make the same salary regardless of what they find. Our reports are available the next business day after the inspection. We send them to the agent, escrow, homeowner by fax and/or e-mail. Are you tired of waiting for your reports to be ready? You can order the inspections you need by FAX, e-mail or calling in your order. Our reports normally go out the next business day. Would you like to find a reliable termite company with honest, fair inspectors? Were you aware that most termite companies pay their inspectors a commission on everything they sell to your clients? Our inspectors do not receive commission -- they are paid a salary to perform accurate inspections. * We are proud to have many of the leading Realtors and mortgage companies in the greater Sacramento area as our clients. * We offer the fastest and most readable termite inspections in the area. * We automatically send copies of reports to your escrow officer. * We know what it takes to close your escrow! * We have a repair crew available for your convenience. Please give us a call to order your next inspection!!! (916) 338-4700 You can arrange to have one of our licensed, trained, professional inspectors come to your office to discuss termite inspections with you and your colleagues. Our inspector can explain about: how to make the process of scheduling the appointment, explaining the inspection and any findings to your clients and how to prepare for your inspection before the inspector gets to the property. Have all of the answers before your clients even ask you the questions!!!! Proud members of: Better Business Bureau www.bbb.org

So let me get this straight. Your inspectors don't get paid a commission? So You are telling me I should call you because your guys don't make a commission and YOU keep all the profit? Or do you do this work for FREE? 

The BEST inspectors are going to want a part of the sale just like you want to get. Unless your picking up inspectors from the Home Depot parking lot who don't know any better. The best inspectors know that are good and expect to be paid for it. 

But I'm sure your doing all the work without any markup or profit right?
