House Talk with Signature Home Inspection
Signature Home Inspection
This podcast follows Scott Knudson, Signature Home Inspection, located in Orange County, California, as he interviews experts from the real estate, home renovation, and repair industries around Southern California to take a deeper dive into topics homeowners really need to know. Typical guests will be contractors, electricians, plumbers, real estate agents, insurance agents, and many more. Thanks for tuning in!
In this show I will be diving into the home inspection business by talking to inspectors across the United States and coaching them on their business. This show will not only feature my expertise in running a home inspection business, but also a variety of guests speakers and different types of business models. This isn’t just a show for home inspectors, it is a show for anyone looking to start or advance their business. I’m looking forward to the journey and I hope we inspire you along the way.
