Creating a Better Customer Experience


Listen Later

The difference between a successful home inspection business and an extraordinary one often comes down to something that can't be captured on a checklist: the customer experience you create. Mike Ortiz of Homefront Inspections returns to share the hard-earned wisdom that has transformed his business from agent-dependent to client-driven through the power of exceptional service.

"They want to feel taken care of, they want to feel warm and fuzzy, they want to understand things, they want to feel like you care about them," Mike explains, cutting through the misconception that technical expertise alone builds a thriving inspection business. Through revealing personal anecdotes and practical strategies, Mike demonstrates how customer experience begins before the first phone call and continues long after the report is delivered.

We explore the art of setting professional boundaries without compromising service quality, handling difficult post-inspection situations, and creating follow-up systems that transform one-time clients into lifelong advocates. Mike's approach to customer interactions has evolved through "389 mistakes" that have shaped his current success, offering listeners a roadmap to avoid similar pitfalls.

Particularly valuable is Mike's guidance on navigating challenging scenarios—from anxious buyers and defensive sellers to post-inspection complaints that arise months later. His techniques for de-escalating tense situations while maintaining professional standards provide a masterclass in communication under pressure.

Whether you're a solo inspector looking to build initial reputation or managing a multi-inspector firm seeking consistent quality, this episode delivers actionable insights that will elevate your business beyond basic technical competence to creating meaningful client connections that drive sustainable growth.
