Thanks Bruce. For me the situation was the conversation just after the comment. What do you say, "I will try to scheduel you for tomorrrow and it will cost you the expense for my having to come back) It was that issue I was trying to find out about. Maybe I answered my own question. One thing is for sure I always tell them at the time I book the job to have all the systems on and to let everyone know about that.

While on a subject like this, something I learned about this market since moving here back in Oct. Again, the Realtors are telling buyers to have the inspection fee rolled into the closing costs. Which translates into inspector have to wait for money. And if the deal does not close trying to get paid. I have no idea how all this got started but it is the situation I and others are faced with. I have decided to ask if the fee is going to be rolled into the deal and then say if thats the case it will cost $50 extra for the inspection. I explain my policy on getting paid and I am including wording into my contract about that. Don't you just love Realtors.
