Home Inspector with Spec Rite Inspections - Lancaster Palmdale CA Inspector

Just a quick thought here, but thought I'd share.

I was inspecting a Townhouse in Lancaster, CA the other day and had the Broker make a comment to me about something I hadn't thought of before.

He said, "Wow Tim, you did a great job here. I know this probably isn't like the home you just came from."

I always appreciate kind words, of course. What was being talked about was that I had just come from a Million and a Half dollar listing in Los Angeles and I suppose some comparison was made that it might make a difference where (geographically) you are inspecting and how much a home costs.

Obviously, It doesn't!!!

In reality, and in my opinion every home is valued in large by the locality and demographics... or the dirt below it! Or quite simply, a house is a house!

Funny enough, I've been told the same on both ends of the "Stick" now... the Agents in Beverly Hills have told me that they appreciate a structure being judged by what's relevant, not where it is.

 

Until next time!!

You're right, a house is a house. We inspect and report on what we see during the course of our inspection. Where the house is or how much it costs doesn't affect the quality of our work.

Your standards are your standards! You need to apply your standards to all of your jobs whether large or small. When you let your standards slip on the small jobs because they don’t pay as much it is a slippery slope that takes you to lower standards for all your work.

 

By “you”, or course, I mean “us”…all of us.

Tim, your statement say's much about your character I would highly recommend you if I lived in CA. "A structure being judged by what's relevant".
