We are really the lowest paid professional relating to a real estate purchase. I will not lower my price because I feel that more can be cut elsewhere for the client to save money. Realtors, appraisors, surveyors, mortgage brokers, etc. are a dime a dozen and can easily be replaced by the buyer as it is hard to stand out from others in their industries.

A realtor working for the buyer simply looks for homes that the buyer may be interrested in and shows them the home.

Appraisors calculate square footage and ammenities in the home and base a value against other homes within a given area.

Surveyors are using a GPS or other device to make measurements against a given dimmension.

Mortgage brokers are falling all over themselves trying to get business. They are simply the middle man and use your credit rating and hook you up with someone willing to take the risk and len you money. The main factor here is the vuyers credit.



Home inspecting, on the other hand, is a skill. It is based on knowledge, experience and education, as well as trouble shooting and deductive reasoning. While everyone else can be replaced and still achieve the same results with the real estate transaction, the difference from one home inspector to another is huge.



I may give a discount to a repeat customer, but if a person is only calling and shopping based on price, I will try to sell myself but will not present a bargain.
