Home inspectors typically are paid a percentage of the home inspection fee. I have heard of home inspectors being paid anywhere from $60 to $175 per home inspection. Think about it for a second, can your boss pay you 100% of what he or she takes in? Who pays for the insurance, vehicle expenses, marketing expenses, postage, people who answer the phones, vacation time, etc. Each home inspection takes a good 5 hours of time when all the off site time is added up, if you doubt this click on Where does my time go and Where does my money go or try these free Excel versions you can plug your own numbers into moneygo.xls timego.xls.



Consider about 8,000,000 people live in New Jersey. If three people live in each home and if 5% of the homes are sold each year that would be about 133,333 sales per year. Lets guess and say about 120,000 home inspections occur (look under Existing Home Sales by State for an up to date figure).

Right now there about 800 licensed home inspectors plus some unlicensed ones. 120,000 / 800 = 150 home inspections per licensed home inspector. If an inspector charges $500 per inspection (many inspectors charge much less some charge more) and performs 150 home inspections that inspector would take in $ 75,000 per year, minus expenses that eat up at something like half the gross. Make sure your budget includes $16,000 +/- for keeping your state mandated $500,000 errors and omission claims made insurance coverage for at least four years after you stop inspecting homes.
