What will it cost?

Do not let cost be a factor in the selection of your home inspector, or in deciding whether or not to have a Professional Property Inspection. The knowledge and security gained from a Professional Property Inspection, is well worth the cost. There is an old saying: “You get what you pay for”. Trying to save a few bucks, on a lower priced inspector, may actually end up costing you hundreds or thousands of dollars. Use the inspector’s compliance with state regulations, qualifications, training, experience, and professional affiliations as a guide.

That’s a lot of money for only a few hours’ work!

 

Pablo Picasso, the painter, was dining at a restaurant in New York City. A fan introduced herself to him and gushed at how thrilled she was to meet the great artist, and how she loved his work. Encouraged by his polite acceptance, the fan begged, “Oh, Mr. Picasso, would you draw me a sketch?”

Picasso grabbed some paper and, with a pen, promptly sketched the waiters passing parfaits. As the woman reached for the sketch, Picasso said, “Madame, that will be $10,000.”

Shocked, she replied, “But that only took you five minutes!”

“No, Madame,” replied Picasso. “It took me 50 years.”

 

Picasso priced his service to its value, not to the cost of manufacture. Picasso did not price his service based on the cost of the paper plus the cost of ink plus some hourly wage… and nor should a home inspector.
