A message that books
"Hi Amanda! I can scope the sewer line before your inspection deadline on Thursday. You'll get the video and a short report the same day."
Where to start
Reach out to five home inspectors and offer fast scheduling and a clean video report for their buyers.
Common mistakes
Reports full of jargon, pushing replacement without showing the video and slow scheduling for buyers.
Following up after the scope
When the video shows a problem, send the repair options within 24 hours. Buyers use the report to negotiate, so a clear quote helps them and keeps you in line for the repair.
