My Children

Information on our growing team. What GrandPam calls “my children”. Nora Akers and Josh Hedges “doing their thing”, on a commercial building inspection, early Monday morning. Note who’s ass is on the ground. Nora is 16 months out from her catastrophic commercial roof ladder fall accident. She is still recovering but doing awesome. She really wanted to get on this roof and I seriously considered letting her. I can’t decide who is more traumatized by the thought of Nora back on a ladder, her Josh or me who watched her fall 25 feet in full slow motion. Hopefully, exam passed soon, Nora will be out on her own doing inspections shortly. Then she will need to navigate ladders again. We will get there. 

 

On another note, we have a highly intelligent, Hispanic, bilingual, ferocious, soccer playing (with a broken finger to prove it), young lady in training now as a home inspector. She contacted us and we recognized the fire in her to be in this profession. We were looking for someone to translate for us and work one-on-one with our Spanish speaking clients. She found us. You will meet Emily shadowing us on some inspections. She will also be working part time in our office shortly helping kick our new management/marketing and booking system in gear. Later we will introduce her in a post. 

 

On yet another note, we were contacted by a retired builder, near my age, whom many old time Realtors will recognize. We are playing that low key right now. You may meet him shadowing one of us on inspections. He is working on training, attaining his license, learning the process and our systems. Later, we will introduce him, and you will be amazed. When he is fully on board, we will begin conducting new construction progress and payment draw inspections.

 

Let’s not stop there! We have a fireman with extensive construction experience starting training shortly. He is considering starting out part time on attaining his license. You may also meet him shadowing us. 

 

We are getting ready to kick marketing in gear for myself and Mark Silcott in the High Country. Coming Soon!

 

So, what does an old inspector do as he becomes less able to do some of the work and not interested in leaving this earth with all this knowledge and experience in his brain? Clones himself in droves. Warning, more are coming, as well as jacked up marketing to bring in work for them. You may meet them in their training process. 

 

Are we nuts? No, going to cover more territory and offer more services. We are already set up to cover from east of Burlington to the Tennessee border and from the Virginia line to the north side of Charlotte. Target market is the complete state. 

 

I ain’t going nowhere, but you will see less of me on small, simple inspections. Large, old, historic, expensive, commercial, I will still be around.  

 

Why book the rest when you can have the best? www.chrisdhilton.com
