Is move in Certified really worth it ?

Being in the home inspection Business we often times try differant strattageis to get the business we want and need . Several years back I implemented the move in certified program in my inspections . bought yard signs . and to this day have only planted two signs. Nachi ( National Assoc Of Certifed Home inspectors .) has set me an email stating to pick up more business do the move in certified . Its a tough market just trying to sell homes. Alot today are foreclosed or reposessed . Trying to promote the move in certified with sellers has been a reall challange . Many agents say its a great Idea . but wont push them or incourage their clients to do so . Many sellers dont think they need them and dont want to pay the extra money to have them done . so I have accepted the idea that some things in this area just dont work as well as they do in other areas . What I Have done is up grade my reporting software and the way I report . I now give my clients the report the same day on C/D along with a hard bound binder . loaded with maitenance tips and up grade suggestions . With the economy its been tough for many home inspectors some have fallin out and closed up shop, many have taken on partime jobs to make end s meet . I know I have I do Insurance evaluations . For several on line companies . I make ann extra 400.00 to 1200. 00 per month . To makew in todays times you just have to hang in there and dont give up on your dreams or desires . Find something to do extra while the economy is down . dont give up the ship. cuase when the market comes back . and people are returning to work . home again will go back on the market prices will go up . an we will be back to work doing what we do best serving our clients with the best in realestate inspections and services . So th equestion is this Is the move in certified really worth it ? My answer is yes . it helps put the sellers home at a higher level and give sthe seller the chance to make the repairs and get the most out the sale . when a home is near flawless its worth a whole lot more even in a bad economy ... God Bless To every one And all Home Inspectors and real estate agents around the world . God be with you .
