I have never lost a deal due to a realtor finding a better priced inspector because I don't deal directly with agents, that's not my business. Why would an agent be calling around looking for an inspector and not the buyer anyway?

For larger homes I get 100-200 more than my competition and I market myself accrodingly so rarely do I receive calls from "price shoppers."
Been operating independent from agents for going on four years and business is great!
