Need to get some live CE hours?
Tired of the same boring CE class with a bunch of old guys arguing about who’s the best inspector?
Looking for something new and REALLY different?
Then join us for our next 6-hour LSBHI approved CE Class in the Baton Rouge area!
This class is called What They Didn’t Teach You In inspection School… The Business Behind the Inspections. If you’ve ever had questions about the behind the scenes stuff that goes into running a successful inspection business, this is the class for you!
This class was created especially for inspectors who want to do more than just get by! If you’re looking to build something that can survive for the long haul, you’ve come to the right place.
Here’s a sample of the items we’ll be covering in this high-level CE class:
Obviously, we’re going to cover technical inspection-related questions like:
What tools and equipment do I really need?
What should I do if I’m unsure about something during an inspection?
How long should my inspections take?
What’s the best way to write my inspection reports?
Does my software really matter?
How do I handle pushback from real estate agents and sellers?
What type of contract should I be using?
What happens if I miss something?
How do I protect myself?
We’ll handle business and marketing questions like:
How do I get my first clients?
Do I need a website right away?
What’s the best way to market myself: online, realtors, or both?
Should I specialize (e.g., new homes, historic homes, mold testing)?
How do I price my services competitively but profitably?
How much insurance do I really need?
How do I handle scheduling and client communication efficiently?
Do I need to be available evenings and weekends to succeed?
We’re going to cover Realtor relationships and ethical questions like:
How do I build relationships with real estate agents?
How do I remain objective when agents pressure me to “go easy” on a house?
Is it OK for me to give agents gifts?
We’ll go over different ways to plan for growth, answering questions like:
Should I consider hiring another inspector?
What’s the best way to build a repeat referral base?
Should I get into commercial or specialty inspections?
What should I invest in first, marketing, tools, training, or staff?
If you’re one of those inspectors who takes CE classes only because you have to, not because you want to be a better inspection professional, then this may not be the class for you!
We’ll have lots of prizes for the highest scoring inspectors, including, but not limited to, free CE!
If you’ve got inspection questions that you’d like to discuss during this class,
please email us at: Joe@AmericanInspectionAcademy.com.
Grab your thinking cap, some coffee and a donut (or two) and get ready for some deep discussion about our industry. Feel free to ask questions, as this is your chance to pick my brain!
I’ve done a lot over my 25 year inspection career:
- I’ve started inspection businesses from the ground up
- I created the report template that’s used by the two largest inspection firms in the state
- I’ve built and run a 15 inspector company
- I’ve managed a multi-state inspection franchise company
- I’ve personally owned a multi-inspector business
- I sold my multi-inspector business for a six-figure price
- I’ve started (and still operate) a single operator inspection company
And now I’m ready to spill the beans!
This class will be held on Saturday 2025.07.12 from
8:00AM – 2:00PM at the board office in Baton Rouge
I promise, you’ll get more than your money’s worth!
There will be coffee, donuts, fruit, nuts, and healthy snacks available for breakfast, and we will have pizza, chips, and soda for lunch.
There will be a live, interactive test (taken on your smart-phone) at the end of class.
The student that scores the highest on the test will get their money back for the class!
This is not your grandpa’s CE class.
Take an interest in your profession and join us for some real education!
