A local inspector, freind of mine, sold his business to them, and then worked for them for a couple years.
Everthing I heard from him about the company and managment was positive.

Dan,

Did he retire, or why did he leave them?

It is a good company if you want to work for somebody, kind of like US Inspect. But, if you don't produce or if it is slow you will be out the door.

He moved up to managment.. With the RE slow down/ company cutbacks he others were laid off.

From what I gathered at one point they had 8 plus working here, I'm not sure how many are left in AZ. I did receve a letter from them last week stating that they are looking for inspectors here again..

I recently got a letter from that company inviting me to join them. Little did they know they where soliciting a dinosaur. I declined of course, but thought it interesting that they where looking for inspectors in such a nationally slow market?

LA is surfing for more HIs in many areas of the US. I've received (again) about 2-3 mailings in the past six weeks.

Close HI friend of mine signed on with LA and hung in there for six months and as of 05/15/08 he was done with them and back running his own business. He was the highest producer of the local (DFW) group and the most experienced (6+ years).

He got real frustrated when it was turning out that he was generating the business and that LA only brought two inspections to him in the span of time he was with them and those were LA employees moving into the market.

He was not seeing them produce what they promised they were going to do with respect to marketing, etc.

He was also very tired of cutting them a check for 50% of all he was bringing in.
