New inspection business marketed towards buyers, and not realtors.
I was recently terminated by a local home inspection business that I worked for for roughly 9 months. My biggest weakness was timeliness and, although it had improved greatly, wasn't enough for the wife that co-owned the business. She also misled me on the pay scale before I started pursuing my education with InterNACHI and I actually find out what I was going to be paid per inspection until I had jumped through every hoop they required (start own LLC, get bonded and insured, purchase all necessary equipment, etc.) to work as a 1099 contractor with their company. It absolutely affected my motivation and this likely contributed to at least some of my molasses-slow pace early on.
Anyway, it was definitely for the best because we were going to end up brawling at one of the required "sit-downs" at a local coffee shop if I had stayed. During my tenure with said company, I had reached out on this group to get some advice on speeding up my inspections and there was some great ideas offered up. I remember at least one inspector that mentioned he started his business with a different type of approach: marketing to buyers instead of realtors. This seems like a great idea, although definitely more difficult? Does anyone on here use that same approach or have any ideas for getting started with that business model? I'm already completely set up to get rolling and gained a lot of knowledge while working for this last company. ANY ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Under His Eye 🙏🏼
