I was getting a little long winded in the last post so thought I would break it up.
Ok I was upset that this woman called me, finally hired me, gave me hell with her lawyer then fired me! So I went to the NACHI forum and posted my complaint there to see if other inspectors have had this happen to them before.
We had a pretty good conversation going about the pros and cons of other contractors doing inspections. Oh yes and I did say that this woman would have gaps in her inspection. Guess what? Another local inspector that I know and do not respect because he kisses A____ with Realtors dared to jump on me and said he FILLED MY GAP WITH THIS WOMAN!!! Other words I gathered he was saying he was a better man or inspector than me! and did the job that I failed to do grrrr! So I jumped back on him then he started in saying that I was a whiner, did not know how to market and do not go on roofs or crawlspaces. I thought that was being unethical, since this man has been know to tell lies about me and stole a potential client from me years ago. I highly suspect he told this woman more lies just to get the job but cannot prove it. I have had a few clients tell me I do a better job than him anyway, some have hired him in the past. So bottom line we not only have to watch out for crooked Realtors but even our own people can be traitors! We also need to somehow educate the public that hiring a butch of contractors is not the way to go in a home inspection. People do not go to a hand and foot doctor for a physical do they?
