FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is dependent upon square footage, the number of bedrooms and the number of bathrooms as listed in county records or MLS. There are add-on fees associated with inspections on items such as sprinkler systems, pools/spas, detached buildings or outdoor kitchens. I offer a 15% discount to first responders, active military and veterans.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I prefer to first have a phone conversation to introduce myself, discuss the client's expectations, then the limitations such as weather conditions or the conditions of the house that may prevent inspection of some items. I then recommend they visit my website for an in-depth look into inspections, as there is a lot of information posted there. Finally, I highly recommend the client attend all or at least the last half of the inspection. This way I can answer any questions and give the client a thorough explanation of what I have observed.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a TREC Professional Real Estate Inspector, TREC #26068. I was trained at Champions School of Real Estate by a phenomenal instructor, taking 144 hours of class instruction, 40 hours of field instruction, and devoting endless hours to study. I was required to pass the National Real Estate Inspector's test, as well as two Texas Real Estate Inspector's tests. I am also a registered professional engineer in the state of TX, PELS #77745. While I am not a structural engineer, I have designed and supervised the construction of over 100 oilfield facilities during a career that spanned 35 years.
