Frequently Asked Questions
How do home inspectors track per-inspection profitability?
FiscalInsights tracks the full time investment per inspection—travel, on-site work, and report writing. Many inspectors discover report writing takes as long as the physical inspection, effectively halving their hourly rate. Understanding total time per inspection helps you price services and manage your daily capacity.
How should home inspectors manage agent referral relationships?
FiscalInsights logs which real estate agents refer inspections. You see referral volume by agent over time, helping you identify your most valuable relationships and prioritize your marketing efforts. Most inspectors receive 60-80% of business from agent referrals, making this tracking essential.
What add-on services improve home inspector revenue?
Radon testing, termite/WDI inspections, sewer scoping, mold testing, and energy audits can add $100-$500+ per inspection. FiscalInsights tracks add-on attachment rates and revenue, showing which ancillary services your market demands and their contribution to per-inspection revenue.
