In Panera, finished a report on a condo in Columbus, soon heading off for a home inspection of a house in Hilliard. It is important to allow time between inspections to get things done and just in case things take longer than expected.

long day again tomorrow, need to head off to bed soon. But first, hang out with the wife.

Effecient

I have been working on my home inspection marketing website. My goal is to have it run as effeciently as possible. I know now how to set things up so that my members and visitors can download items. This will help them improve their marketing skills faster, no time of mine is spent burning cd's and making trips to the post office, plus I can pass these savings on to the buyers.

At todays home inspection near West Liberty Ohio I came across a double tap before the main breaker. This a big safety issue.

The wiring coming away from that extra tap into the main is completely without breaker protection.

I once inspected the home of a building contractor. He had done this for the new master bedroom he had built himself.

Goes to show that just because someone should know better does not mean that they will act better.

Long day planned for tomorrow. I am glad that the weather will not be hot. http://ping.fm/bAgFl

It is all marketing

Read something today that stated that all that we do in a business is a form of marketing. How we act and perform our duties sends a message and that message states good or bad things regarding the service and company.

Home inspection is a business in which inspectors have many opportunities to market themselves. However most miss the opportunities.

People who want to sell their home should give the impression that they took good care of the home so as to protect it from damage.

This is why it often surprises me during home inspections that people who want to sell their home will often neglect cleaning the gutters. When I see a home with stuffed clogged gutters I know that the home owner tends to be neglectful when it comes to taking care of the house.

This sends a bad message to potential buyers. There is no need for this to happen, especially when services are out there that will actually clean the gutters for you such as The Gutter Sweep in central Ohio.

So if you are selling your home or plan on having your home always be nice keep your gutters cleaned. You homes value will thank you.
