Re: new to the site
Good to see I know another guy here in Tony as I see him too from time to time at meetings, I know it's hard to believe for someone from another state but we have been pretty fortunate in Oklahoma as we are ever growing each year because it's so affordable compared to other states. I often work long days and yes occassional Saturdays because I can't say no too often, seems I really like what I do and that is surely key in this job. I know times have got to be tough in Florida as I have been reading nothing but slow slow business for realtors there which means hard times for inspectors there. I'm afraid to ever consider moving now after hearing and reading how slow many inspectors elsewhere are but keep your heads up, invest in advertising!! keep realtors and buyers happy the best you can, I do keep my job professional and honest and many people appreciate that whether the home is good or bad, if it does't work for the buyer then chances are they will find another house and use your services again. That's my 2 cents worth....personality is everything!! One last suggestion, search local realtors web sites and read their site, alot can be learned in how and what they expect from us as inspectors and then you can use it when or if you are doing business with them.
