I was taking a look at my 2007 schedule book as compared my 2008 book to date. My 2008 volume is down 25%. Considering all the doom and gloom we get in the news about real estate and housing, I guess this drop isn't as bad as it could be.
I am luckily seeing my 5+ years in the business and the referral base I've built get me by. I would have to say roughly 1/2 of all my business this year is the direct result of past inspections in the form of repeat clients, referrals from past clients, and some realtor referrals. The percentage of brand new clients who have no prior contact or connection with me are really down from previous years.
