Transcript
Brad Lowery
Matt, today we are talking with a man who needs no introduction whatsoever. They know him just by his looks and his wonderful personality. And we’re talking all about inspecting in an unregulated inspection state. You ready to do this, man?
Matt Brading
Yeah, I we might as well give him an introduction anyway. I mean, like I know he doesn’t need an introduction, but I mean, like, you know, I think the reason why we’re wearing we got to give an explanation as to why we have these things on our head anyway.
Brad Lowery
I just look, you know, I was sweating leading up to this interview. That’s really what it was. Okay. So we’ll roll the intro and we’ll bring them on. Here we go.
Matt Brading
Is that what it was? Is that what it was? I definitely wasn’t.
Brent Fletcher
No, no,
Brad Lowery
Brent Fletcher, welcome back brother. We’re doing good, Matt, you froze there. What were you saying?
Brent Fletcher
How are we doing today?
Matt Brading
Well, I I was going to say I was just going to say like, don’t know if I supposed to wear this over my ears or my ears supposed to be sticking out. Like, I don’t know. How is it supposed to be? This is this is more Brent. I got more Brent going on. And then this is this is what Brad had going on. I was just trying to figure it out anyway. All right. You know what? Forget it. It’s not my thing, Brent. It’s your thing. It’s your thing, Brent. It’s your thing. I’m a yeah, there can only there can only be one, you know.
Brent Fletcher
I knew that you were sticking out, you gotta get the little…
Brad Lowery
I go over the years,
There we go.
Brent Fletcher
You have to slick back hair loads. You’re looking good.
Brad Lowery
There’s only one man that can do this well anyways, you know?
Yeah, we’ll let him out it.
Brent Fletcher
Right?
Matt Brading
Can only be one. Hey, so I got before we get started, like this is kind of cool for me. You guys probably see this stuff all the time, but I all day. didn’t have an inspection day because I had to had to schedule it off because I had to go do some filming today on a video that I should. Hopefully I got a lot of editing. Mike, I’ve got the craziest week ahead of me and I don’t know how I’m to get all this stuff done, but hopefully I can find time to edit this video and get it out Sunday. If not, it’s going to be the next week. But I was filming at a house, a passive house.
Brad Lowery
That’s it.
Matt Brading
That’s about 20 minutes from my house. which that’s not very common, right? And what’s even more uncommon, especially here, it was on a basement. Okay. So, well, it’s being built. So it is at the, what they’ve done, they pour the STEM wall. It’s like, it’s like a, five foot more like a glorified crawl space. Okay. But, but, definitely, you know, more than a crawl space and then just the construction of it is wild because it’s going to be passive house. And so they had poured the STEM wall. They had gravel a gravel bed and they were putting a product called Sika R max on the bottom, which is like an insulated subfloor insulation. It’s made to be under the slab and so they’re putting that down and then over that they put a pretty awesome vapor barrier material called Stego pango, which is a 15 mil. Yeah, yes, they go bango. They get they get some coolant. Anyway, yeah, it’s a 15 mil vapor barrier.
Brent Fletcher
It’s Stego Pango.
Matt Brading
So it’s really thick stuff, right? And supposedly it prevents, I personally have never seen termites eat through any vapor barrier, but apparently from what I understand, it can happen, but they can’t eat through this stuff for whatever reason. I don’t know, but this stuff being 15 mil, like if you’ve ever seen, like, so right now they changed the code to six mils is the new standard, right? But hardly anybody’s building to that standard. I’m sorry, they changed the code to 10 mil.
Brad Lowery
Is it really if there’s like a tear in the vapor barrier?
Matt Brading
The standard before that was six mil and that’s usually what everyone at this point has still adopted and what they’re building to and so six mil like It’s like a trash bag. I mean you could tear it really easily This 15 mil stuff like they were wrapping it over and putting it over the stem wall where the anchor bolts were you couldn’t push it through that you couldn’t push the Anchor bolts through the head to cut a hole to put it through this nice thick stuff lays down really cool And then they’re getting ready to pour
Brent Fletcher
Mm-hmm.
Matt Brading
concrete over that probably next week. And so got to see that film, do a lot of filming on some of the really cool products they’re going to do to air seal that, that passive house and everything like from like foundation levels. I’ll be going over there a few times, but it was pretty cool for me. Cause like I say, I can count on one hand, the amount of basements I’ve actually been in. And yeah, it was, and that’s just me being like visiting other places of the country. Like, cause I mean, I think in Texas I’ve only been in one. And so like, you know, it,
Brad Lowery
In your neck of the woods,
Matt Brading
I think there’s probably not that many in Texas as a whole. It’s either bedrock or water table or just the expensive things we build up. We build slab on grade mostly and go up and we have a lot of attics here. This house is going down and that’s where their storage and stuff is going to be. And so very different construction site than what I was used to seeing. So look forward to that video coming out on my YouTube channel and the build show network. So that’ll be on both of those.
Brent Fletcher
Mm-hmm.
Brad Lowery
Now is this through the build show?
Brent Fletcher
Looking for it now.
Matt Brading
What’s that?
Brad Lowery
Is this being done through the build show?
Matt Brading
it is, mean, a lot of my YouTube long format YouTube videos are, are being republished over on the build show website. And so, it’s not, I mean, yes and no, it’s complicated. Okay. But we’re getting through it.
Brad Lowery
That’s a guy’s joke.
Sure. Hey, but two places to
find you. But dude, that’s awesome. I mean, a lot of cool stuff going on there. Brent, you’ve had a lot of cool stuff going on too because you have migrated to an office,
Brent Fletcher
That is right. So I do have a shop for the home inspection company and we have all of our cars and tools and everything out there. But I actually have an office now, which is for kind of the social media aspect and a way for me just to get away from everything and focus on some back of the house stuff.
Brad Lowery
Nice, that’s good man, that’s good. So is there anything that you’re gonna be doing with the Office space content wise or is it just a nice little write off?
Brent Fletcher
Mm-hmm.
Matt Brading
You know?
Brent Fletcher
Yeah, absolutely.
So that’s kind of the whole point of getting it is I would like to get more into the YouTube long form content. We have some ideas that we’re actually working on that tomorrow. Me and one of my workers or one of my employees were going to be sitting at the table and drawing up a bunch of sketch ideas. But yeah, trying to get more educational content, long form content. And, you know, with all the don’t do that videos, one of most common comments I see is, can you explain what’s going on? So maybe I’ll take a little dive into that and explain a little bit more on those videos that we do.
Brad Lowery
Right.
Matt Brading
That’s pretty cool. Like I’ve oftentimes thought like how cool it would be to have a space like a studio or something. I don’t know if you’ve got this kind of space in your office, but like where I could do maybe demos or something. I mean, like I’m not talking about like building, you know, uh, eight foot walls, 16 inch on center. there, but I mean, like if I could build mockups, uh, even if I built them off site and brought them in and showed them in a more controlled environment or just where I had a whiteboard.
Brad Lowery
See.
Brent Fletcher
Mm-hmm.
Matt Brading
Or something where I could show or something, you know, where I could or put a green screen up, just a actual studio where I could, you know, film some of this stuff in a more professional.
Brent Fletcher
It’s fine. That’s what this whole office is. I have enough room to put a green screen up. I do have a corner with two chairs and a chessboard so if I have a guest out we can talk in front of that. Just kind of different areas of the office to set up for different filming styles.
Matt Brading
Nice. Nice.
Brad Lowery
Dude, that’s gotta be awesome, man. Good work. Definitely.
Matt Brading
Nice, nice. That’s really cool, man. I saw some pictures of the building. It’s like a historic building in downtown, right?
Brent Fletcher
Yeah, it’s the Avery building in downtown Fort Collins. believe if I’m not mistaken, it was built in the 1870s. it’s yeah, one of the staples is one of the first buildings to come up down here. And it’s right in the core of the main downtown intersection. So
Matt Brading
That’s cool.
I got a question for you. So besides like the content creation aspect of having an office, like I would venture to say that most home inspection companies, regardless of size, don’t have one. and so I want to, I want to know, like from your perspective, what is it like having an office? What was the reason why you decided that? and like, what, what do you think the benefits are of having an actual office?
Brad Lowery
Almost.
Brent Fletcher
Yeah, absolutely. yeah, you’re right. For the most part, I didn’t have any office or a shop for the first four years I was in business. Everything was just out of my house. That was easy. Once I started hiring employees, I had to get a shop. I had to have headquarters that keep all the radons, a hub, know, just where someone can grab all their tools, keep all the cars parked. As that was taken off, I really just needed a space where I can clear my head and focus on the other aspect of my business now that we know social media aspect. So that’s when I got, I wasn’t originally planning on getting one, but this office space kind of fell into my lap at a really good price. So I was like, I gotta take it. I can’t pass it up. So here we are. So yeah, I’m be working on a lot of that content in here.
Matt Brading
I know, man. I think that’s super cool.
Brad Lowery
See, we’ve got two of the biggest, most well-known catchphrases in home inspection content on the show right now between it’s not supposed to do that and don’t do that. And I think I should just start doing do that, you know, and just be the opposite of all of you guys. Just point to the good stuff, do that.
Brent Fletcher
Do that. Well, you should.
Matt Brading
Do that. You should do that.
Brad Lowery
You should I should do that. Well, we don’t have Brent on the show today just to talk about social media. That’s the easiest thing to get into because we are talking about something very interesting today because a lot of home inspectors, we all operate, you know, all three states that I’ve inspected in. All of them are regulated states, Florida, very heavy, heavily regulated. Virginia was very quick to get on board with state regulations once that started becoming a thing in Tennessee is as well. But Brent, you are in a state that is completely unregulated. So first of all,
Matt Brading
That’s right.
Brad Lowery
What is that even like how how do you even get set up with working in that state? Is there any sort of oversight whatsoever? Or is it? You know kind of a pirate’s land for homeless vectors Yeah
Brent Fletcher
Right? Do you just shoot from the hip? So yeah, there is some regulation. So don’t think there’s not. So as for the home inspections itself, that is unregulated within our state. So pretty much anybody can grab a pen and paper, write some things down and say they’re a home inspector. There are different aspects of a home inspection company that are regulated though. Like Radon, we have to go through the NRPP, the NRSB and all that, the AARST to make sure we’re all regulated.
Matt Brading
Wait, whose phone is ringing? You gotta get it. You gotta take it. Take the call.
Brad Lowery
My nephew, my sister bless him. My sister gave,
Brent Fletcher
You gotta answer it.
Brad Lowery
You want me to? I don’t know what’s about to happen. Hold on.
Matt Brading
Take the call. Take the
Brad Lowery
All right. Drink of the day is sponsored by you know, conveniently enough inspection fuel. Go ahead and register it is ready to we’re ready to rock. Registration is live you can get the early bird special this year it is going to be September 28 to the 30th in Louisville, Kentucky. But you know, and since we’ve got Inspector Fletch on the show and he was at the last inspection field with us. Yeah, dude, so much fun. So guys, go ahead and sign up. But drink of the day, what are we sippin’ on? Brent, take it away.
Brent Fletcher
That was great time. So this is actually my favorite cocktail. This is called a Naked and Famous. This is a mezcal based drink with a little bit of yellow, chartreuse, Aperol and lime juice. Shake it, pour it over ice if you wish. Little bit of lime twist. It’s delicious.
Brad Lowery
But to be the… Yeah.
Matt Brading
Well look at this fancy dude right here, man. He’s got his garnish.
Brent Fletcher
You got the bar set up in my office. I don’t have all the stages set up. I got the bar set up.
Matt Brading
Going on. Dude, I thought
Brad Lowery
The importance
Matt Brading
You were going to
Brad Lowery
Of the setup.
Matt Brading
Have a seltzer. I would have put money on like a Topo Chico Black Cherry or something.
Brent Fletcher
I have a rule that I don’t carry any seltzers in my office because they’ll go away too fast. So I only carry cocktails. I have to make every one I’m going to
Brad Lowery
Yeah, see, but to be the Fletch signature cocktail, I feel like it just needed its own little do rag tied around it, you know? Yeah. There you go. There you go. No, as a as a new cocktail. That’s cool.
Brent Fletcher
Right? I’ll get the little line twist in there, I don’t know if that counts.
Matt Brading
Dude, that would be cool. It’s not the same. It’s not the same. I’m on the
Brent Fletcher
Yeah.
Matt Brading
Water, man. I mean, I can tell you it’s not coffee, but it’s water. It’s water. It actually is water. I’m not going to lie, though. Like, this is right here in case we get dirty. Like, it’s right here. Like, I’m ready to go if things happen. If this cup is empty by the end of this show.
Brent Fletcher
Right? Water. Sure, sure, sure.
Cheers.
Brad Lowery
You got a refill.
Matt Brading
Might have to hit that because I don’t have any water close by.
Brent Fletcher
Over one cup of water a day then you can you did your duties.
Matt Brading
Yeah.
Brad Lowery
Hydrate before you imbibinate. you go. Seltzer. There you go. I’m, I am picking it up for Fletch here. I got the Seltzer. That’s a non-alcoholic this time. Yeah. Because we get
Matt Brading
Brad, what are you drinking? He has a seltzer. He has a seltzer. That’s a non-alcoholic seltzer though, I believe. I would not have guessed Brent would have had a non-alcoholic seltzer. I was going for like the real deal.
Brent Fletcher
Yeah, topo chico, white claw, am I allowed to say those on here? I don’t know.
Brad Lowery
Yeah, yeah, why not?
Matt Brading
Yeah, I mean, you you’ve got a full bottle of bourbon.
Brad Lowery
There’s no laws when you’re drinking. Yeah. Anyway, so back to regulated versus unregulated. So there are indeed some regulations around what you can and can’t do and how things get done in the state of Colorado, but it is an unlicensed state. I guess that’s the differentiator.
Brent Fletcher
That’s true. Absolutely.
Matt Brading
Yeah,
Brent Fletcher
Anyway.
Matt Brading
Think that’s I think we should like talk about that for one second. Like what does it mean to be unregulated? That means like in Texas, for example, and the states that that Brad was talking about earlier, we have to go through a licensing process. We cannot be a home inspector legally without going through a process that the state gives us not only in terms of training, but testing. And then licensing in Texas, I know we even had to do like a background check, fingerprints and all that stuff. So the whole bunch of stuff that we have to go through depending on state can vary a little bit, but we can’t do an inspection unless we are licensed. And what the difference is in an unregulated state such as Colorado, I know that Joey was on last week. If you guys didn’t see that episode, we had a great episode with Joey McPeak out of Idaho in the Boise area. He was talking about whether or not…
Brent Fletcher
Mm-hmm.
Brad Lowery
Mm-hmm.
Matt Brading
Clients should attend clients and realtors never they should attend the inspection. It was quite entertaining. Joey’s a great guy. Go check out that episode. But Idaho, I know Utah is also not regulated. I know there’s others, but there’s more regulated and licensed states than unregulated states. But where you’re at and Brent, you’re out of Fort Collins, Colorado, but all of Colorado, there’s no license licensing requirements. So I think technically if I had this right,
Brent Fletcher
Yeah, that was like meaningful. Mm-hmm. That’s correct.
Matt Brading
You can just get a DBA and you’re a home inspector. You can.
Brent Fletcher
Yeah, you can. You can just go out there and do whatever. But there are some drawbacks or there are some catches to that. For all the new builds that we have out here in Colorado is very big on all the new builds. None of the builders will let you on site unless you are certified through either NACHI or ASHI or the equivalent of.
Matt Brading
Yeah, that’s what I wanted to ask. you know, when it comes to, is there anything that, you know, people look for? Like if a client or a realtor was going to hire you and obviously, you know, the builders, can’t believe that they even have that regulation. They won’t even let you on site, I guess. But yeah, so they’re looking for some type of association. Does the general public know that? Is that like common knowledge?
Brent Fletcher
Mm-hmm. Yeah. Mm-hmm. You know, I think people are pretty surprised when I tell them that. We always have people that will call us asking about our services and prices. They say they’re going to check around a couple other places. And that’s one of things I always tell them is like, absolutely, check who knows who’s going work best with you. But make sure you ask them, are they certified? Because in Colorado, you do not need a certification to do home inspections. But that’s not necessarily going to protect you as the buyer.
Brad Lowery
Yeah, but is there any trepidation amongst buyers when they find out about that? Or again, they’re willing to look up and see if you’re not you certified or how did what gives them peace of mind?
Brent Fletcher
Most people don’t even know where to start. They don’t even know how it even works or how to even see if a home inspector is certified. So I give them, you know, some information, some websites they can go do their own research on. But yeah, as it goes, most people have no idea if they don’t know where to look and yeah, it’s pretty surprising to them.
Matt Brading
So are there, mean, that you know of, are there people out there uncertified, just kind of willy nilly inspecting stuff? Is that actually happening?
Brent Fletcher
I do look it up. So a lot of times I’ll get the you know, they’ll already have an inspection done like a pre listing inspection and all that I will always look at the home inspectors name and it’s a 50-50 shot if I can find them on ASHI and Natchi Right, if you get like a 20 page report and I can’t find this person to save my life
Matt Brading
Yeah. Really? Man, that’s some high odds. Wow. Wow. I had a realtor send me a report one time to review because it had some real funky stuff in there that was written up. I can’t remember what it was now, but it was some real head scratching stuff that was in the report. was like, man, why is this guy saying this? This is in Texas. And we have a standard of practice that we have to operate under. And this stuff was way outside of it. And I was like, what is going on?
Brent Fletcher
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Matt Brading
Look this guy up and his license expired like two years. There’s a current report. And so I was like, Hey, just so that, you know, that, you know, this report you sent me is from an unlicensed home inspector. And so who knows what his story was, but that brings me to my next question really, because like in Texas, you know, not only are we licensed, but there is a governing body. Right. And so we, we, look to the Texas real estate commission track for our standard of practice, which is basically a minimum standard at which we operate. Of course, we can exceed it, and most of us that have pride in our work do. Where do you stand with any type of standard? Like, what keeps you, you know?
Brent Fletcher
Mm-hmm. So yeah, I personally for my company is anyone that works for me needs to be a CPI minimum. So I go off the InterNACHI standard of practice. And yeah, that’s my own policy. That also helps me be insured and whatnot. Cause that’s kind of a question. If you’re not, you don’t, if you don’t have any certification, can you get a home inspector insurance? I’m not positive on that.
Matt Brading
Okay. Okay, so you don’t know if insurance companies would even insure a non, is it even necessary?
Brent Fletcher
I’m in fact. Right?
Brad Lowery
So, yeah. So you’re basically operating under international standard of practice then everybody has to be CPI. But the bigger question I’ve got there, too, is without a licensing board kind of observing what’s going on or regulating everything within the state, what keeps other inspectors accountable? You’re keeping yourself accountable and your guys accountable. But how about other inspectors? Is it reviews reputation? How does it work?
Brent Fletcher
That’s a great question. Where are you going to put that? then, I always, you know, that’s another thing when people call me and they want to do their shopping around, because I absolutely recommend it. The three things I always, you know, tell them they should make sure they ask is are you certified? If you’re certified through who? Do you check their Google reviews, see where those stand at it, and then ask them what all services are included within their inspection? And once you kind of get that, hopefully thaapt will help people fill it out a little bit. But yeah, it’s pretty, it’s the Wild West out here. People can kind of what they want.
Matt Brading
So does the lack of licensing like change things in terms of like pricing like is it kind of like a race to the bottom is are those people that will just bottom feeders?
Brent Fletcher
It’s all over the place. I was looking at a website actually earlier this week from a home inspector that I could not find a certification anywhere. And I think he was doing up to 3000 square foot for like 325.
Brad Lowery
Peace.
Matt Brading
So like this dude could be going in there and just like taking a couple of pictures saying he was there, getting your $325 and then that’s it. Well, like, so if there is.
Brent Fletcher
Yeah, I have no idea what those reports look like. Yeah, yeah. There was nothing
entered on his website. I was taking it to practice so you can kind of get an idea what his inspections include. So.
Brad Lowery
That makes it easier than a little bit it would seem to differentiate yourself in terms of justifying your price, but it also might require buyers to actually spend a little bit of time looking to see what they get for their.
Matt Brading
What?
Brent Fletcher
Right, and most people are looking at the price. That’s their first stop. How much does it cost? know, it’s because, you know, there are a dime a dozen home inspectors and that’s how a lot of people see it, which definitely is not true in Colorado with being an unlicensed state.
Matt Brading
That seemed. So I mean, then you really got to justify and try to sell your services as something that stands out amongst all of these bottom feeders.
Brent Fletcher
Right. Yeah, and you know, when I first got started, there was a lot of that. How do you differentiate yourself talking about all your service? Now five years in a reputation has been built and it kind of stands on its own. But when you first get started, you really got to go out there and promote all those things that you’re doing. Combustible gas detection. I know that’s not even in the NACHI standard practice. I offer on all my inspections, infrared detection straight across the line.
Matt Brading
Yeah. Right, right, right. So without like a governing body, like there would be in like a regulated state, know, home inspectors, I think it’s no secret that we carry a lot of liability, right? Like when we do these inspections, we’re reliable for things that we miss. And this can turn around on us in terms of lawsuit or responsibility. How does that work in a non-regulated state? Can anybody actually hold you accountable or?
Brent Fletcher
Huh.
Matt Brading
Or liable for anything? I how does that work? I mean, I know you still, at least I think you’d probably be in your best interest to carry insurance. And I suppose somebody, anybody can sue you for whatever they want, but without a governing body, like how does that actually work?
Brent Fletcher
Absolutely. even with the, like I said, the builders, they do require that you’re certified. Most builders require one to $2 million worth of coverage and you need to provide that each inspection you do. And there are also a lot of agents that I’ve worked with that will also ask to show the proof of insurance. And I just have it labeled right in my car, license and insurance. Let’s have it right on there. But yeah, you can definitely still get in trouble. It doesn’t matter if there’s not a standard out here. If you go into home and you miss something major and you’re out there promoting yourself, I mean, I work on the natural standard practice. So I don’t know if somebody doesn’t have any standard practice or working under what would happen. But yeah, you definitely have to cross your eyes and dot your T’s.
Matt Brading
Well, I mean, like I said, I guess anybody can sue you for whatever they want and whether or not they win. That’s kind of. That’s not really the point. That doesn’t matter until they do. But I mean, you know, so they can sue you. It’s just there are guidelines here. like, you know, so I feel like it ups the ante in terms of liability because it’s very plainly laid out what you what you’re responsible for as a home inspector.
Brent Fletcher
Okay. Yeah.
Matt Brading
Whenever you have a state regulated standard of practice that you got to follow, you don’t follow that. and somebody sues you like they’re going to win, you know, like that’s it. Whereas I think there might be some gray area in a state that was unregulated. So where you stand in terms of OK, we said Joey on last week and Joey was like he’s been pushing for regulation in Idaho. He.
Brent Fletcher
Okay. Yeah, what did Joey say? Okay.
Matt Brading
Now he sets himself apart according to Joey. was a, are you, yeah, you’re familiar with him. We were, we were on that panel together. Yes. So Joey, he says, you know, the, the inspector reports that he sees from other inspectors up in the area, there’s just no comparison to his at all. Like they’re just really, really bad. There’s a lot of inspectors out there that just not doing a good job. He sets himself apart that way. And apparently he has the business to be able to support.
Brent Fletcher
Yeah, I’m a joy. Mm-hmm.
Matt Brading
His way of doing business, which is again, to not even have clients attend at all. yeah. And, and I mean, like, if you have the business to support whatever, you know, whatever crazy stuff you want to do, like go for it, you know, but you do have to have that,
Brad Lowery
Like ever, yeah.
Brent Fletcher
You know, know and I know inspectors out here that do that same thing. There’s a couple of inspectors out here that don’t allow clients on their
Matt Brading
Really? Yeah. I mean, like if you, if you’ve got the client base and you can, you can do it, that’s great. If not, then I think it might hurt you. But, Joey, he feels like, guess I don’t know what it, cause it seems, I don’t know how I would feel if I was in an unregulated state. Like he seems to be pushing for regulation. Like here in Texas, like GCs don’t have to have any licenses at all. Right. So you can build a house all day long. There’s nothing stopping you from being a general contractor. They need no credibility. They don’t have to take any tests. They don’t have to apply to anything for the state. Meanwhile, home inspectors have all this stuff that they got to do, right? And the GCs that I know out there don’t really want regulation because that’s just going to be more red tape for them. So I was kind of surprised to hear that Joe was pushing for, how do you feel about that?
Brent Fletcher
So let’s put it this way. When I first started doing home inspections, there was no regulation over radon. So when I started doing it, I can just charge the $175, $200 to do a radon with an inspection, and then everything is good, great, grand, send it out. And then about two years ago, they made a state mandated that you had to be regulated, you had to get certified, which is great because now there is a standard that we have to go off of. I’m not going to downplay that at all. But now it cost me $2,000 to the state a year to run it. So I’m not going say it’s a money grab, but there comes to a point where if you start making a license, now we got to pay the state X amount of dollars to make sure that we can still do the job that we’re already doing, which ultimately is just going to put prices up.
Matt Brading
Like that makes sense.
Brad Lowery
Now,
Matt Brading
Right? I get that. But do you think like
Brad Lowery
Does that price?
Matt Brading
The licensing? What’s that? Well, I was just saying, like, do you think I totally see like, okay, now I have to pay money to the state that I didn’t have to pay before that cost me money. But do you think that the licensing might draw a line in the sand between people that were not worth the value and the people that are and therefore you would make that money?
Brent Fletcher
Questions. Right. I think it can go one or two ways. mean, yeah, there would definitely be a handful of people that are not going to put in the effort to get the license, and they’re going to kind of pull back a little bit. But I think at the same time, if you make a regulation that you have to put up, then everybody in the grandma’s going to go out and pay the $1,000, get the regulation, and flood the market.
Brad Lowery
So is it that they would flood the market or would having some sort of a price point in place help to price out kind of the riff-raff in a sense that aren’t willing to?
Brent Fletcher
And that’s a good question. you made everyone, would there be more of a standard of pricing? mean, would you see that? I you guys are in licensed state. Is there any standard of pricing with you guys or is it kind of all across the board?
Brad Lowery
It’s in Virginia, Tennessee, and Florida. Pricing seems to be fairly consistent as far as rate on test from one to the next.
Matt Brading
Yeah, no.
Brent Fletcher
Right.
Matt Brading
I mean, sure, I think the pricing is probably consistent, but I mean, that’s just you can you still have the ability to price it however you want, right?
Brent Fletcher
Mm-hmm.
Brad Lowery
You do. Yeah. But it’s if you price it, it’s one of those things where it’s such a low price point of entry for a service. You know, we’re talking a couple hundred bucks total, you 200 or $300. If you price yourself too high, they’re just going to find somebody else. Right. So it’s
Matt Brading
Well, I like not just in terms of rate on though, just like pure pricing period. mean, because if you had that right. So you in Colorado, the states kind of control the rate on thing. But let’s just say overall home inspection pricing like, you know, that’s not anything like the regulations in states that require licensing don’t have anything to do with the pricing.
Brent Fletcher
Yeah, and I do agree there should be some standard that the whole state goes across, because I want to see to make sure the buyers and the clients are getting protected and they’re actually getting what their money’s paid for, because someone comes on and they can do half a report if they’re not being regulated over anything. And someone might not know the difference, just by the amount of people that call me, not realizing you don’t even have to be licensed to work in this state.
Brad Lowery
Well, that’s kind of the bigger thing. You mentioned protecting home buyers, making sure that they get their value. A lot of the regulation, especially going back to state of Virginia, Virginia is a buyer beware state. So they give the buyer a right, in a sense, to have a home inspection prior to purchase. Like if they want to have it inspected, it can’t be denied by the seller. Now, even in Massachusetts, they’re essentially making it a requirement that a house get inspected beforehand.
Brent Fletcher
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Brad Lowery
But again, those rules are really to protect the buyer. So in an unregulated state or an unlicensed state, what are some things that buyers can do to protect themselves and what are questions that they should be asking to make sure that their behinds are covered when they’re purchasing a house?
Brent Fletcher
You know, so I covered a little bit of that just a minute ago. What they should be asking if they’re searching for home inspector, we know price is always a factor. You can always ask that. But ask if they do carry in sort of certification. Are they ashy? Are they nachy? Are they one of the other certification programs? What services do they offer? And how quickly can they tell you? Know, roof electrical HVAC plumbing foundation. Those are my five majors and I got about 200 items on the cover throughout the inspection including infrared detection and combustible gas detection and no extra charge. Can they randle that off right away? Make sure that they know what they’re talking about when you’re looking for a good solid home inspector and do not skip the Google reviews. Those are huge out in this state, especially when you’re unregulated.
Matt Brading
My flow is off because I used to answer my phones all the time. Let me tell you, like I had it down. I mean, I was like, when people call me, like I can close the deal so fast. I mean, like they’re not getting off phone calling somebody else. Like it just wasn’t happening, right? I don’t handle that anymore.
Brent Fletcher
Yeah, you have the same photo, right? Yeah. amount of orders I took in to Attic are crawl space with a pen and paper when I first got started. And you can get that phone call in under five minutes. You can get the job booked and going.
Matt Brading
Yeah, dude, totally. I’m from the roof. Man, I get that call I’m on a roof and I there’s my flow man. It’s going right and I have videos that I put out on this because I was trying to help train people, you know for years and it was I think these were out there on the subscription thing where you had to pay Instagram. I need to redo them and put them out on YouTube and stuff because I think it’s still very relevant like but I think like especially a newer inspector man when you get that call I people ask me all the time like – What do need to ask inspectors? And I’m like, ask them what they do. And if they can tell you what they do with confidence without hitting speed bumps and hesitation and stuff like that, they probably pretty dang good at their job.
Brent Fletcher
Yeah, you can tell they’re doing something else and they can already just ramble it off because they said it so many times.
Matt Brading
Yeah, yeah. And I
Brad Lowery
Yeah.
Matt Brading
Do it. I do it every day. Like, what do you want to know? I got it all right here. Yeah, no, I love that. I actually miss it.
Brent Fletcher
Yeah, so that’s great way to find a good inspector. Yeah, you’re right. got admin now answering all the phones. I don’t remember the last time I took a phone call. But yeah, I know exactly what you mean on that.
Matt Brading
Oh man, I loved it too. was fun. To get that phone call and then to get off the phone and know you already had their stuff, you were going to get them booked on a job, it was fun, exhilarating. Go ahead.
Brent Fletcher
I run, right? Mm-hmm.
Brad Lowery
Now, with other speaking of phones and being on the phone as you two are, it’s less about answering phones for you guys and more about talking to the camera that’s on the front of it. But do you feel like being in an unlicensed state social media has helped to give you more credibility with buyers?
Matt Brading
I mean,
Brent Fletcher
You know, I think that would go for any state, whether it was licensed or not. Being someone, you know, you’re letting someone into your home that you don’t know to help you make one the biggest financial decisions of your life. Feeling like you know a person, be able to see them, this or how they act, you know, you’re not just going off a picture now, you’re going off of a personality. So, you know, rather you get to a large scale social media content creator, or if you’re just making local content off of, you know, Instagram so your local market can see you. Bringing your personality in there, I think, is a great way for people to trust you, period.
Brad Lowery
That’s huge, man, definitely.
Matt Brading
I don’t disagree with that at all.
Brad Lowery
Now, and again, it does make sense for both, because again, Matt’s in a licensed state, you’re in an unlicensed state, and you both got huge follow-ins from this. So that’s passive.
Matt Brading
I think this is going to be, we’re going to have talk to our editing department on this one. But I think that we should definitely have a counter for how many times we say some form of the word regulated or regulation on this show. I think at this point it’d probably be up to like 26. yeah, yeah, let’s at least get a few more in there. I don’t know if the ones I just said. Oh man.
Brent Fletcher
Easy.
Brad Lowery
Even some other one. Let’s have a nice round 30.
Brent Fletcher
Well, have a drink every time you see regulated.
Brad Lowery
Yeah, take a drink every time.
Matt Brading
Yeah, we should have talked about that before we started. I didn’t know. I didn’t know I was going to go there.
Brad Lowery
Yeah. We’re doing it for SEO,
Brent Fletcher
I was already doing it, you guys weren’t?
Brad Lowery
Man. Yeah.
Matt Brading
I got a question about a video that you put out recently, Brent. So you had one that came out just the other day, and it was about starting to work when you lacked the confidence. And in it, you explained that you had competence. And you kind of leaned on your training until the experience kind of caught up with you. So I thought that was really really good and really inspiring because I can definitely remember being in that in that same place. So like for like a new regular for a new inspector say in an unregulated state there mark the counter there’s one more you know I’m throwing myself off just saying regulate at this point but how do you how do you balance that like do you have any advice for anybody how to like
Brent Fletcher
Inspection.
Matt Brading
Kind of deal with that between not being confident and like trusting their training to getting to that confident level.
Brent Fletcher
Right. When you do your first inspection, you don’t have your flow down. mean, you just kind of look up online, see what people do, ask a couple questions, you know, outside, inside, top to bottom. When you’re going to your first inspection, definitely you’re only going to get out of your education, which you put into it. So make sure you know exactly everything that you studied. But I would say I relied a lot on my experience from other industries, if you will. So I worked for a inspection, or excuse me, a moving company forever. So I already understood the stresses that goes with moving. So I was like, all right, well, can lease. I know I have that covered. So when I deal with a buyer, I know they’re going to be stressed. I already know kind of where that’s coming from. I did a lot of construction background, so I knew I had a little bit of an outline there. So when we put all those together, that’s what made me feel competent. I knew kind of the situation I was walking through, the vibe I was walking into, and my education allowed me to know what I was looking at. had terminology, I knew the outline of it and a bunch of YouTube videos too for the night before the inspection. What are they gonna do?
Matt Brading
Yeah. That’s actually
Brad Lowery
If they do.
Matt Brading
Really good advice, man. Like lean on what you do know. Like, yeah.
Brent Fletcher
Yeah, once you do that, that’s cross it off. Done. We can move on now. We already know we can handle this. And now we can just focus on the kind of areas of questions. And one thing that I even teach all my new guys that are coming on. And one thing that I relied on very heavily and I still use to this day is a simple, you know, I don’t know, but I will have an answer for you by the end of the day. I’m going to take photos. I would take documentation. I’m going to take it home. And that one part kind of helps my competence move into confidence.
Matt Brading
Yeah, I.
Brent Fletcher
Because I knew I least I could never let someone leave them hanging and I could formulate an answer for them in time.
Matt Brading
Well, we shouldn’t be expected to know everything all the time, right? And not everybody does. No one’s going to. And so to be able to kind of admit that confidently, but then have the confidence that you will find the answer later is huge. I think that’s great advice.
Brent Fletcher
Yeah. Yeah.
Brad Lowery
I agree. And I think it would be a great topic to speak on at Inspection Fuel, 2026 in Louisville, Kentucky, because I actually know the guy who’s planning the agenda for all of the business courses, the business and marketing courses, because that’s, that’s me. So yeah. Yeah. Do you want to speak all that? That’d be awesome, man. All right. I will. I do. Competence into confidence. There you go.
Brent Fletcher
Is it real? this guy?
Matt Brading
haha
Brent Fletcher
Let’s do it. I’m all about it. What is this? What’s the date? What are the dates
Matt Brading
think that’s really good, yeah.
Yeah.
Brent Fletcher
Again? The dates?
Brad Lowery
What’s that? September 28th to the 30th. Yeah, that’s all right. We’ll go. talk about it off air for sure.
Matt Brading
You’re not going to remember it. It’s okay. This is going to air like in a week or so.
Brent Fletcher
I’ll be there. I’ll be going through the video later trying to figure out where we set the date.
Matt Brading
Yeah. Yeah. We’ll shoot you an email. It’s fine. Your people talk to my people. but, no, I think that’s great. And I think that I love that, like lean into what you know, I feel like it’s always been in the back of my head, but I’m not sure that I really like, like thought about it in those terms, but it’s like, it doesn’t matter what you come from, right? If, if, if you come from customer service, well, then you know that.
Brad Lowery
Yes, I – That’s it.
Brent Fletcher
That’s huge.
Matt Brading
Right? And that’s a huge thing that a lot of homeless veterans don’t know anything about.
Brent Fletcher
You know that. So you don’t have to worry about the customer service going into it. Cross that off, go on to the next.
Matt Brading
Yep. Yeah. They start working. Yeah. Use what you know, and shine in those areas and then start kind of, you know, picking up the pieces and the other ones to get better at them. That’s great, man. Good stuff.
Brad Lowery
That’s it.
Brent Fletcher
Mm-hmm.
Brad Lowery
Dude, I gotta ask y’all though, do you guys remember your very first home inspection? Because I do, I will never forget it.
Matt Brading
Man, I do, I very much do.
Brent Fletcher
Yeah, dude, was, I remember, can’t count the number of times I went upstairs, downstairs, upstairs, downstairs. Like, just like not knowing where I was supposed to be at any point in time. Like, so I checked the sink and run down and see if it’s leaking in the basement. Where do I go?
Matt Brading
Man, if I could get it back. Dude, if I could get it back, I would do so much better. And you know what? That was a friend of mine that I did that for. And I’m going to see him Thursday. I see him pretty regularly. I’m going see him Thursday. So we’re still friends, so I must have done OK. But man, I mean, like, I’m telling you right now, like, those first inspections, like, I still feel bad about it. Like, I wish I could get them back. I mean, like, no one had, I feel so thankful for the people that hired me in the beginning. Because
Brent Fletcher
Mm-hmm.
Matt Brading
I had, mean, look, I think when you compare it to even some inspections that I see people put out today, I probably did a very good job. But like compared to what I do now and what I intend to do, like there are nowhere near what I wanted to be. Like I don’t feel like anyone had any business hire me. I’m very thankful that they did. It has to be right. Like there has to be this crazy. Probably.
Brent Fletcher
I think that’s kind of where everyone starts, mean, that’s… But at the same time, you probably did a lot better than you think you did.
Brad Lowery
I did not, I did not. And it served as a teachable moment. I actually told the story multiple times and it’s always at the same point of the home inspection and you’ll see why. So I immediately got thrown in the deep end. that your phone, Roger? Yeah.
Matt Brading
Yeah, well, that wasn’t mine.
Brent Fletcher
I know what that was.
Brad Lowery
I don’t know. So I immediately got thrown in the deep end. This was a remodeled like hundred year old house, a little bit of a, it wasn’t a full on Queen Anne Victorian, but it was old, fully renovated new kitchen, new appliances. Right? What’s that?
Matt Brading
Man. Terrible, by the way. That’s just terrible to be thrown into a house that old that complicated right off the bat.
Brad Lowery
Right. For my very first one. Well, you had to do ride alongs in Virginia, you know, it wasn’t my first time on a property, but this was my first time solo. And so to have to tackle this. And yeah, again, I’m trying to remember workflow, like, you know, did I get everything started up first? And the reason I always tell this story is because when I go in the kitchen, I always when I start the oven, I check it twice, I open it, look in close it. Open it again, look in one more time just to be sure, close it. And when the buyer has been standing there, because we’ve talked about this, I bring the buyer around with me. They’re like, so why did you look twice? I said, well, because my very, first home inspection, I learned the importance of why you should. I started everything up in the kitchen. I was like, OK, I’m doing great. I’ve got kitchen appliances running. I’ve got lights on in the house. We’re ready to rock and roll. I’m ready to start taking notes. And the agent suddenly goes, should the oven be smoking? And I went, it’s a brand new oven. It shouldn’t be smoking. It’s probably that new oven smell that’s just cooking off. Let me double. Holy crap. I had forgotten to take the manual out of the oven with the plastic and the cardboard. And this thing was on freaking fire.
Matt Brading
I’m gonna tell you something though that that I don’t I don’t fully blame you for that. mean could you have prevented it? Yes, but that means some idiot put that in there and didn’t even check it that makes me angry.
Brad Lowery
But the thing is, there’s been so many times that I’ve saw that since, where it was a brand new oven or brand new dishwasher and all the interior packaging wasn’t removed. this was, but it was in thousands of homes, the only time I caught something on fire in the oven. It took me one inspection to learn that.
Matt Brading
Yeah! Yeah, I, that
Brent Fletcher
Yeah. Well, that’s in that. Yeah. And that’s I mean, it’s not even being a new inspector. It was about two or three weeks ago. I was upstairs doing a remodel in this old house. And I turn the sink on and an agent calls me. So I take the phone call and we’re going over some stuff. And then after talking to him, I turn around and the whole floor is flooded. It turned out they didn’t ever connected the water line to the sink by turning the hot and cold on the same time. And it was the cold line. So the hot was coming out.
Matt Brading
Has happened me.
Brad Lowery
No.
Brent Fletcher
But the coal was just spraying underneath the sink and then the flooding the whole thing. So I got to spend about 45 minutes soaking everything up and having a lot of phone calls. But the end of the day.
Matt Brading
There dude. Yeah, I have totally been there and that’s brutal. That is brutal. Yeah. Yeah. Mini towels. Sham Wiles. I got a whole bunch of them, Yeah, totally. I’ve been in some really gnarly situations like that, got the ovens. I got a whole file on my phone of stuff in ovens because I found so much stuff in ovens, like whether it’s like people’s stuff or like random food or, you know, the manual and stuff like that. The manual always irritates me. I never posted that video.
Brent Fletcher
We’ve all done, don’t forget your towel. Always bring a towel.
Brad Lowery
Always bring
Brent Fletcher
Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Or just baked on grease can always, you know, have a use for a while.
Matt Brading
But, but I do have a file of all that stuff that I was going to make a video on one day. I just reminded people to open the oven before they turned it on. Because I mean, I do, find it all the time, but it irritates me because it’s like, I wouldn’t even put in a light bulb without turning it on and make sure it worked. Right? Like there’s just no way I could just install something and then walk away and go, it’s cool. Like, but when they leave all this, I’ll tell you what happened to me one time, similar to the whole oven situation. There’s a new construction house, go to it.
Brent Fletcher
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Matt Brading
I turned one of the first things I do is turn on the dishwasher because it takes a while to run, right? And I like to get it all the way through to the end of its cycle so I can take a thermal picture of the drying element. Get that make sure that we show in the report that it was working. And so I try to do that first thing, right? So I turn it on, start doing the inspection of the house, come back like, I don’t know, an hour or two later. And something smelled a little funky, like, like, I don’t know, something smelly had been burning. Like, what is going on? Because I just
Brent Fletcher
Mm-hmm.
Matt Brading
I’d open up the thing, close the soap door and turn it on. Well, it wasn’t the manual and stuff, but you they had like a rack for like silverware and stuff. It was under the rack that you, everything inside this dishwasher is the same color, right? It’s all gray, all the same color gray. And I never pulled that out and look at it, especially on a new construction. I might get a little bit close.
Brent Fletcher
Or so. Mm-hmm.
Brad Lowery
Yeah, yeah.
Brent Fletcher
Mm-hmm.
Matt Brading
Closer on like an old house to see if that stuff’s deteriorated or rusted. But I mean, this is a new house, right? I didn’t pull the rack out. I just closed the soap door, turned it on and we’re good to go. Man, that thing was sitting right on top of the element and it just melted that plastic. and so then like I let them know, I was like, hey, like this was not installed right. Like I don’t want to be responsible for this. Like I turned it on. You couldn’t even see that thing in the bottom. Like I would have had to pull the rack out to see it. They turned around and tried to build me for it. And I got the manager on the phone. was like, listen, bro, like somebody should have put that thing where it goes. It goes in the door. It was mounted underneath the dishwasher. And furthermore, no one ever tested the dishwasher. It would have happened to them. And they didn’t, they ultimately didn’t.
Brent Fletcher
Do that.
Brad Lowery
I’ll do that. Yeah. It was both not supposed to do that and it wouldn’t have done that if they just don’t do that, you know? Yeah, there you go. But we don’t want to give a whole bunch of fodder to certain inspectors out there that try to find fault with everybody else in their field. These are all mistakes that we all make. That’s exactly right. Yep. Now that’s huge. So speaking of that, you’ve hired a bunch of guys. We’ve actually got to talk with one of your inspectors on the show before, That was an awesome interview.
Matt Brading
That’s correct. Yeah.
Brent Fletcher
Don’t do that. You’re not an inspector if you haven’t made a mistake. I can tell you that right now.
Matt Brading
Yeah, man.
Brent Fletcher
Thank you.
Brad Lowery
Betcher
Was it?
Matt Brading
Wait, no, no, no. She doesn’t work for you, does she?
Brent Fletcher
As a no, that’s a different Bree. Sorry. My main admin is named Bree. You’re talking about Brianna Beans. I worked for her. There was a there was a couple of one summer I think she fell off a ladder or something she got hurt. And she just had a booked out calendar and she called me and she was like, Brett, can you help out? I was like, absolutely. So I was already double booked. So I get you know, do I eight to five.
Brad Lowery
Yes, Inspector B. there you go. You work for her. Yes.
Matt Brading
Yes. Explain.
Brent Fletcher
And then I would go do hers five to nine to try to knock all those out. But yeah, it was a great time. had a lot of fun doing it.
Brad Lowery
Yeah, no, she was awesome. Go back and watch that episode if you guys haven’t. Fantastic model for doing home inspections with recurring revenue out of it too. Really cool.
Brent Fletcher
Mm-hmm.
Matt Brading
That’s right.
Brent Fletcher
Mm-hmm.
Matt Brading
She also has some great content on social media too. I watch her stuff from time to time. She does a good job putting herself together.
Brent Fletcher
Yeah, she’s
Brad Lowery
yeah.
Brent Fletcher
Doing a great job at that.
Brad Lowery
Yeah, totally killing it, man. Absolutely. Well, what’s next for you guys out there, man? And when it I guess to kind of wrap up the since we have one more our word that we have to say regulation,
Matt Brading
Just go ahead and let it flow man. The counter’s going.
Brent Fletcher
Is your water gone yet? How’s your water cup doing there Tex?
Brad Lowery
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Did you finish sipping on it?
Matt Brading
No, I’m still in the water. I’m in the water. I’m nursing the water.
Brent Fletcher
He’s nerfing it.
Brad Lowery
Yeah, man. But no, but to wrap it up, mean, if you were to require licensing or regulation in Colorado, I mean, would you want to see some sort of like an apprenticeship program out there? That’s something that’s been discussed in Virginia.
Brent Fletcher
Absolutely. So with my company is what I can base it off of. I have a pretty strict training program for me. You will do 50 inspections with me before you are allowed to go out on your own minimum and you cannot start doing any ride alongs until you’re a CPI certified. So that is your first step and then yeah, 50 inspections with me and I have a whole training where you’re the first 10, you’re just following me around seeing what I’m doing. The next 10, you’re opening up the app and starting to go through it. And by the end, I’m following you around the last 10. I’m watching everything you’re doing. And I do think that would be pretty important out here if they could do something like that. I’m on the fence about the whole regulation thing because it’s just a lot more money that it’s gonna cost to do these inspections.
Matt Brading
I get it. I don’t think I would be wanting it to happen either. I can see, cause cause roofing, Travis Jones, another guy that’s been on the show and was with us at inspection fuel, on the live show. you know, he’s put, he would like to see licensing for roofers because man, roofing in Texas is definitely the wild west. And I mean, they shoot those nails like they’re shooting pistols. Let me tell you, it’s,
Brent Fletcher
Mm-hmm. User.
Brad Lowery
I can’t believe that.
Matt Brading
It is a mess. and so, so yeah, I think that there is an element of like separate the best from the rest with, with licensing. but I, I don’t know, maybe it’s the outlaw in me, but I feel like I would, if I was in a state that didn’t require it, that’s how I would want it.
Brent Fletcher
Yeah. Mm hmm. Yeah, I’m happy where it’s at right now. But yeah, I’ll set the standards.
Brad Lowery
Get on the board, man. Meet the leader.
Matt Brading
Yeah, there you go. Everyone
Just consult Brent Fletcher. Okay.
Brad Lowery
That is it. Well, dude, this has been awesome, man. Fletch. It’s always good having you on the show. Love all the content you’re putting out there. You’re one of the good guys in this industry, man. I thought you were in. I thought you and Sean were going to be doing a podcast.
Brent Fletcher
I that. We were working on it for a minute. Honestly, I am just so freaking busy and I know I probably let him down on that, but I just, give, I’m also got my two kids. I got two toddlers. I’m running a business. I got social media. I like to say yes to everything, but when it gets to it, I just, yeah, there’s, I had to come to a point where I had to pull myself away from a few things, even the networking group that I ran out here for three years. had a thousand members. It was very big for real estate and I had to pass it off to someone else. And that was the same time I had to tell Sean, sorry, I just got too much on my plate. my company is just freaking exploding right now. Yep.
Matt Brading
Man, I totally get that.
Brad Lowery
Problems, man.
Matt Brading
I totally get it. And you know, I get the question all the time. I’m sure you do. Like, how do you do it all? You know, and I don’t even know how to answer it, to be quite honest with you. It’s not exactly easy. just, there’s a saying, how do you eat a whale? One bite at a time? Just keep going. Yeah. Yeah.
Brent Fletcher
Okay. There’s not much, you don’t rest really. Yeah. You just keep going. There’s no real downtime. My mind’s not wired to have downtime. It doesn’t happen. If I figure and everything gets quiet, I like start writing down what I could be doing next.
Brad Lowery
There you go. That’s going good.
Matt Brading
Yeah, for sure. So I know that probably everybody watching already knows who you are and probably already follows you. But for those insane few that don’t, where can they find you, man?
Brent Fletcher
You can find me. So Facebook’s gonna be the one different that’s at Fletcher’shomeinspections.com. But if you go to Instagram, Tick Tock or YouTube, that’s going to be inspector under scroll Fletch.
Brad Lowery
Well, dude, you’re an inspiration to us all, okay? Seriously. Don’t, yeah. We love having you on and we’ll see you next time right here on, You Got It.
Matt Brading
Yeah.
Brent Fletcher
Hey, don’t do that. Guys have
Matt Brading
You’re right, you’re right. Actually, I’m not going to do it. The Ride Along.
Brent Fletcher
A good day.
