    Dec 30 2025

    Send us a text

    Want more inspection bookings without spending on ads? In this episode, two inspectors break down home inspector marketing using TikTok, YouTube, and podcasting—plus the real story of losing a job over $63 and what that teaches about value.

    If you’re building an inspection business (or trying to scale one), this is for you.


    What You’ll Learn / Highlights

    • How daily social content turns into real inspection bookings (no ad spend)

    • The “$63 cheaper” client story—and how to respond without sounding bitter

    • Why “word of mouth” still wins… and how social media fuels it

    • Short-form vs long-form: what each is best for in the inspection space

    • Sewer scopes explained: when to start, what to buy, and when to upgrade

    • How to think about tools as ROI (and why “tools make money”)

    • A simple path: start budget → build demand → upgrade equipment

    • How community + comments create trust and referrals

    • How to map your workflow from phone call → booked job → report → paid

    • The “4-inspector breakpoint” that lets owners step out of the field

    • Templates: how to clean up narratives (like the classic “door won’t close”) for speed + consistency

    • Setting boundaries so clients don’t own your nights, weekends, or holidays

    • Balancing income goals with what actually matters: family + freedom

    Dec 18 2025

    ⁠Send us a text

    AI is changing home inspections fast, and it will wipe out cheap, low-value inspections first.

    In this episode, we break down how AI will impact home inspectors and the exact “boutique” strategy to stay premium, raise prices, and win long-term.


    What You’ll Learn

    → Why AI will lower the skill barrier (and what that means for pricing)

    → The “boutique inspection” model that survives tech shifts (like medicine + robotics)

    → How to raise prices the right way (and actually make it worth it)

    → Which ancillary services protect your business from low-end competition

    → Why “AI-written everything” hurts trust, and how to keep your human voice

    → A smart approach to AI in reporting: use it for clarity, not laziness

    → The real future: humans become the premium product
