Re: Getting contract signed?
Steve,
FWIW my advice: if you have a web site put your contract on the web site (Pdf file) and then your clients can download and sign it and email it to you. You can also post their finished report on your web site and give them a pass-word to open it and download it, that is after you have a signed contract from them and been paid. Bottom line: no signed contract, no inspection. Remember, your contract is going to set the parameters (expectations) of your inspection and is the first weapon in you legal defense. This is from a fellow who makes an excellent living as an EW in home inspector litigation plus construction defect cases.
