How to Accurately Price a Home Inspection Without Mental Math
By Evan Sutter
You are on a roof, you're sweating, and a realtor calls asking for a quote on a property right now.
Trying to calculate the square footage, the age of the home, and the drive time in your head usually leads to one thing: you throw out a low number just to secure the job, and you leave money on the table.
We built the Quote Calculator directly into your SwiftReporter dashboard to eliminate the mental math.
- Instant Estimates: Plug in the property size, age, and distance, and the calculator instantly outputs your exact fee based on your saved rate profiles.
- The Workload Multiplier: This is our users' favorite feature. If you are completely swamped, you can select "I'm busy," and the calculator automatically applies a premium multiplier to your quote. Make working that Saturday morning actually worth your while.
Stop guessing your fees on the fly. Standardize your pricing and protect your margins.
