Yesterday I did a Powell Ohio home inspection for a family moving from Canada. It always fascinates me as to how people locate me and how how nearly everyone is a phone call or two away from nearly everyone else.
One thing this family wanted was a radon test. I do not personally do these so I set it up for them at the agents request. I am getting billed by the radon testing company for this so I merely passed that same amount to the buyer. It cost me only the time of a few phone calls so I felt no need to add onto that amount.
Nice family, I wish them well.

Who cares about the home buyer?
I had a phone call yesterday morning from a listing agent regarding the home inspection I had completed a day or so before. She was not happy that I did a thorough inspection of the home. There were issues, like there are in every home but nothing tragic. Odd that she would complain that I was the inspector when she uses me to inspect for her buyers. Apparently I am preferred when it will protect herself and her buyer but not when she is the listing agent of the property.
Caring for the buyer should be a consistent quality that is found in all agents and in all fields of business.
There are reasons why some struggle in rough times and other continue to excel and grow.

Home Inspection in Springfield Ohio
Things for my home inspection business have been busy. Growth in this economy is very good. I have not seen a downturn in my home inspection company, I am actually up 16% for the year. Today the inspection was a Springfield Ohio home inspection
This home had some cracking in walls and ceilings. They are most likely related to the cut joist in the basement, the deteriorated joist that is no longer supporting at the end and the main beam that had been cut into. All repairable issues.

Busy summer for home inspections, at least for me
It has been a busy summer so far for the home inspections I perform in Central Ohio.
Ohio home inspections overall are down from what I am being told from other home inspectors and real estate agents.
I am up by a few percentages above last year despite there being incentive last year that may have artificially inflated early 2010 home buying.
My client testimonials keep coming in.
