Professionalism, Customer Service and Cultural Differences - What You Need To Know To Survive In The Home Inspection Business
Davannis Restaurant - private dining room
41 Cleveland Ave So
St. Paul, MN 55105
651-690-4848
(SW corner of Cleveland and Grand)
Annual Meeting:
During the annual meeting portion, the chapter president will take a few minutes to talk a little about the past and what we're planning for the near future. Please anticipate an election of new Board of Director members at this meeting. You will need to be a paid Heartland Chapter member to vote on chapter matters.
Program:
Professionalism means different things to different people. We'll examine a few areas as they relate to the inspection business and you can decide for yourself what you think is important. For instance:
- Do you answer your phone or does it go to voice mail?
- What do you do when the potential client on the phone says, "the other inspector is $50 cheaper than you."
- Do you spell check?
- Do you review, reread and revise your report before sending?
- Should I take off my shoes before entering?
- Do you write email the same as text?
- Do's and Don'ts of handling a complaint.
Do you provide exemplary customer service? We'll examine a few areas including:
- Lock boxes and electronic keys
- Marketing and advertising
- Social media - LinkedIn, Facebook, Blogs, etc
- Notices to homeowner
- Thank you notes
The Twin Cities is home to many cultures. As inspectors, we often don't know much about our clients until we are face to face, so it's important to have a basic understanding of our cultural differences. Topics will include:
- Language barriers.
- Does religion matter?
- Are tattoo's scary?
- Did you know Minneapolis is home to more Hmong, Tibetan and Somali families than anywhere else in North America?
- Did you know about 15% of the Mpls population is GLBT?
- What is GLBT?
- What should I do before entering a Japanese household?
- Is it OK to discuss inspection findings with the Realtor of an Asian client?
- Is it normal for a client to not look you in the eye?
We'll examine these questions and more as time allows.
Our speaker, Mr. Fred Comb, is an ASHI Certified Inspector and owner of Home Inspections of Minnesota. Fred has been inspecting homes for more than 20 years and has experience working with many diverse communities.

Michael Klutho, Attorney
- All inspectors are invited and encouraged to attend.
- RSVP is required and space is limited.
Program:
The purpose of this seminar is to learn about various legal issues that relate to the home inspection business and what you can do to help protect yourself from potential lawsuits.
Our speaker, Mr. Michael Klutho, is a partner in the 50 attorney law firm of Bassford Remele PA. However, long before arriving at the Bassford law firm, Michael put himself through college working as a carpenter and as a laborer with a Public Works Department pouring concrete and the like. And, once he completed both a Bachelors and Masters degree, Michael worked as a Fisheries Biologist for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. This background has provided Michael with helpful insights into construction law claims. Michael enjoys exploring the technical nature of construction claims, including home "inspection" claims. His experience analyzing data as a Biologist has also proved very useful in analyzing the myriad of details surrounding many construction related claims and lawsuits. Michael's practice today emphasizes the representation of a variety of other professionals facing liability claims, as well as providing pre-suit risk management advice to assist other professionals on how to avoid or lower their risk of claims in the first place.
Mr. Klutho will talk about:
- Pre-Inspection Agreements
- Who should sign?
