That's a lot of money for only a few hours’ work!
Pablo Picasso, the painter, was dining at a restaurant in New York City. A fan introduced herself to him and gushed at how thrilled she was to meet the great artist, and how she loved his work. Encouraged by his polite acceptance, the fan begged, "Oh, Mr. Picasso, would you draw me a sketch?"
Picasso grabbed some paper and, with a pen, promptly sketched the waiters passing parfaits. As the woman reached for the sketch, Picasso said, "Madame, that will be $10,000."
Shocked, she replied, "But that only took you five minutes!"
"No, Madame," replied Picasso. "It took me 50 years."
Picasso priced his service to its value, not to the cost of manufacture. Picasso did not price his service based on the cost of the paper plus the cost of ink plus some hourly wage..
I bring with me decades of experience and training in inspecting systems and facilities from single residences to large commercial complexes and mullti unit habitats. You can always find someone cheaper but at what expense in value?
Paying a little extra for an InterNACHI inspector pays off!
Buying a home? It is probably the most expensive purchase you will ever make. This is no time to shop for a cheap inspection. The cost of a home inspection is very small relative to the home being inspected. The additional cost of hiring an InterNACHI-certified inspector like myself is almost insignificant, in comparison, but your choice is just as important.
You have recently been crunching the numbers -- negotiating offers, adding up closing costs, shopping for mortgages -- and trying to get the best deals. Don't stop now. Do not let your real estate agent, a patty-cake inspector, or anyone else talk you into skimping on the home inspection. InterNACHI-certified inspectors perform the best inspections by far.
InterNACHI-certified inspectors earn their fees many times over. As the most qualified inspectors, they do more, they deserve more, and, yes, they generally charge a little more. Do yourself a favor...and pay a little more for the quality inspection you deserve.
