I live in Los Angeles and know people in real estate including my brother who is an agent in Ontario, Ca and when I ask them about foreclosure inspectors, they
say they have never heard of one, and don't know any, therefore I don't know how much an inspector charges for his services, who do contact to get work etc, please help!!
Gregory,
My assumption is that you would like to start doing foreclosure inspections and want to know how to get started. Depending on your experience and knowledge, I would suggest starting with local lending institutions. Here at Home-Probe, Inc. we do a tremendous amount of foreclosure home inspections in Atlanta but we have been around for years and used our reputation to branch into the foreclosure business. We are first, and foremost a traditional residential home inspection company in Georgia but offer almost unlimited services. The foreclosure aspect of our business was created out of courtesy to the real estate agents we have a working relationship with and because we saw a niche market. We have a large number of distressed properties in our area and that is what makes our program work so well. If you have specific questions please send them to info@home-probe.com and someone will try to help you.
Good Luck!
Home inspection is so much important as I read in that article. It is so much informative and motivational. I get much information about the home inspection from this article. And I consider on that think I get one more think is that the home inspector is also very much important for the home inspection. And they provide that service.
