Hi my name is Kelly Hachey, and I am new to this site, and to the field. I have gone through the Home Inspection program from Carson Dunlop. It took me 1 year, and a lot of stressful days/nights/evenings/ etc... I had such a good time with the course, how ever I wish I would of known of this site when I first stated, I may have not been so stressed...;)
Anyways, I live in the Lambton-Kent area, and am soon going to be opening my business.
If anyone has any tips for me, please feel free to send them on through...and help is great! I look forward to sharing my knowledge, and concerns with all of you!
Nice to meet all of you!
Kelly:)

Carson Dunlop offers top notch education.

Now all you need is experience.

Potential clients are going to be reluctant to rely on an inexperienced inspector so you must convince them that there's more to inspecting than experience. Point out your Carson Dunlop education. Then you may have to get experience by offering services for a low fee. There are always people who go for the lowest price. Then down the road you can tell people that you have x amount of inspections under your belt for x amount of time.

BUT YOU MUST HAVE A WEB SITE THAT RANKS WELL.

I contracted with Domain Names, Web Hosting and Online Marketing Services | Network Solutions (http://www.Networksolutions.com) for a site and Domain name and an extremely easy to use site builder for $150 per year.

While you are building your site you can use <paid sponsor> advertising.

I still use a Canadian company www.121ltd.com for top of the first page ranking for 4 search terms on Yahoo for $40 per month. (on top 24-7)
They charged me an additional $50 for Google but I dropped that. I am doing well with ranking on my own for <organic results>
