Home Inspector Podcast by InterNACHI

You can scream all you want from the rooftops about how great your home inspection company is. But if no one knows you, no one will listen to what you have to say.

Listen to Ben Gromicko and Bill Fabian as they discuss some of the latest infrared cameras on the market today. They'll demonstrate their resolution and thermal sensitivity, and how to use WiFi to transfer images to your phone or tablet so you can integrate them into your home inspection report.

A successful home inspector can answer the questions that people may have when deciding whether or not to hire them. And a good website does the same thing.

There is a simple way of capturing new clients. And it’s easy to get those new clients by offering something of value (something sweet, like honey) when initially starting a new conversation. 

Before you send everyone you know an email that markets your business, prepare your website and check the analytics. Website analytics helps inspectors pay attention to how they are nurturing people (or enticing and persuading people into hiring them as home inspectors).

On the other hand, when you’re good at word-of-mouth marketing, you’ll notice a continuous, viral effect happening...

Advertising can easily be the most expensive part of your marketing. A home inspection company can easily burn through a lot of cash with Google advertising. If you get advertising just right, you can reinvest into more advertising and reach a good profitable balance between money in and money out.
