Certainly a variety of prices and services. Dom don't sell us too low. I think you need to make various pricing per region or even better per state. I would never do inspections for some of the pricing that has been posted using home inspector pro software. On average it probably takes anywhere from 4-6 hours to do a thorough inspection and write a thorough report (not including the traveling). With foreclosures and short sales there is a greater likelihood that the house will be a bomb and the report will take longer than usual........

One person said they would travel 150miles without an additional charge (in my own state no less)??????? Say what?

With taxes on earnings, overhead and insurances if I'm not making $50 an hour it is not worth it.....period. I usually make at least a $100 an hour and I am worth every penny and then some. I am not trying to toot my own horn but c'mon everyone we are professionals and should be paid accordingly.
