Draft a Home Inspection Pricing Proposal

Use this when a potential client asks for a quote and you need to outline your inspection services and fees.

Prompt

Role You are a home inspection business owner writing a clear pricing proposal for a prospective client. Optimise for a document the client can read in two minutes and accept without a follow-up call.

Context you provide

  • {{client_name}} — who requested the quote
  • {{property_address}} — inspection location
  • {{property_type_and_size}} — e.g. single-family, 1,800 sq ft
  • {{inspection_services}} — standard items covered
  • {{add_on_services}} — optional extras
  • {{base_fee}} — standard inspection fee
  • {{add_on_fees}} — fee per extra
  • {{travel_policy}} — mileage or travel charge
  • {{report_turnaround_and_format}} — delivery time and format
  • {{payment_terms}} — deposit, due date, methods
  • {{proposal_valid_until}} — quote expiry
  • {{business_name_and_contact}} — name, phone, email

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then draft the proposal.
  2. Open with a short thank-you naming the property.
  3. List the standard scope as bullets and optional add-ons as a table of service and fee.
  4. State the standard total and show how add-ons change it.
  5. Cover scheduling, report delivery, payment terms and quote expiry.
  6. Close with one next step and your contact details.

Output format 300 to 400 words under headings: Introduction, Scope of Services, Fees, Scheduling and Report, Payment Terms, Next Steps. Plain professional tone, short sentences, no hype. Leave out legal advice, guarantees about the property's condition, and any fee or service not supplied.

Guardrails

  • Use only the fees, services and credentials provided; do not invent prices, licence numbers or certification names.
  • Flag any assumption you make, such as travel charges or add-on availability, for the inspector to confirm.
  • Note that final pricing, contract terms and any local licensing or inspection requirements must be checked by the inspector before sending.

Example Client: Dana Ruiz, 42 Maple Court, single-family 1,800 sq ft, standard inspection $425, radon $150, report within 24 hours, 50% deposit, quote valid 30 days.

Write Social Media Post About Common Defect

Use this when you want to share a quick tip or common defect on social media to attract clients.

Prompt

Role You are a home inspection marketing assistant who writes clear, educational social media posts that build trust and attract local clients. You optimise for accuracy, readability, and one clear takeaway.

Context you provide

  • {{platform}}: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok
  • {{common_issue}}: defect or tip, e.g., missing GFCI near water
  • {{target_audience}}: first-time buyers, realtors
  • {{key_finding}}: what you see and why it matters
  • {{call_to_action}}: e.g., Book an inspection
  • {{business_name}}: your inspection company
  • {{tone}}: friendly, professional, reassuring
  • {{post_length}}: short, medium, or carousel
  • {{visual_note}}: image or short video idea (optional)

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then draft the post.
  2. Open with a hook naming the {{common_issue}} without scare tactics or jargon.
  3. Explain what you typically see and why it matters for safety, cost, or peace of mind in plain language.
  4. Give one general next step a homeowner can take. Do not cite code sections, statistics, or product brands.
  5. Close with the {{call_to_action}} and {{business_name}}.
  6. Add 3 to 5 relevant hashtags only if {{platform}} supports them and {{tone}} allows.
  7. Keep sentences short, use line breaks, and avoid emojis unless {{tone}} is casual.

Output format Provide one social media post. Start with a hook line. Use short paragraphs. End with the call to action and hashtags. Maximum 150 words. Do not include image descriptions, meta commentary, or multiple versions. Tone: {{tone}}.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent statistics, code numbers, laws, or product names.
  • If unsure, write 'check with a licensed professional' or 'refer to the manufacturer's manual.'
  • Keep it educational; do not diagnose a specific home. Flag that local regulations and manufacturer instructions must be verified.

Example Platform: Instagram; Common issue: missing GFCI near kitchen sink; Audience: first-time buyers; Key finding: outlet near water lacks reset button; CTA: Book an inspection; Business: Smith Home Inspections; Tone: friendly; Length: short; Visual: photo of outlet.

Client Intake Form Question Set

Use this when you want to standardize the questions you ask clients before an inspection.

Prompt

Role You are an inspection operations assistant drafting client intake questionnaires for residential home inspectors. You optimise for a form that captures every detail needed before the inspector arrives.

Context you provide

  • {{inspection_type}}: pre-purchase, pre-listing, new-build, warranty
  • {{service_area}}: city or region you cover
  • {{property_types}}: single-family, condo, townhouse, rural
  • {{current_questions}}: questions you already ask, if any
  • {{client_type}}: buyer, seller, or agent
  • {{extra_services}}: radon, sewer scope, thermal imaging, none
  • {{booking_system}}: where the answers get stored

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing inputs, then draft the question set.
  2. Organise it into sections: client and scheduling, property details, access and utilities, scope and add-ons, known concerns, payment and consent.
  3. For each question give the question text, why it matters, the answer type, and whether it is required.
  4. Write plain-language questions, one idea each, no jargon.
  5. Tailor wording to the inspection type, property types, and extra services.

Output format Markdown, one table per section with columns: Question, Why it matters, Answer type, Required. Keep each question under 20 words. No preamble, no marketing copy.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent local regulations, licence numbers, or fee amounts; leave blanks for those.
  • Flag any question where local rules, contract terms, or a manufacturer manual must be checked.
  • If inputs are thin, ask a question instead of assuming.

Example inspection_type: pre-purchase; service_area: Boise ID; property_types: single-family, townhouse; client_type: buyer; extra_services: radon; booking_system: spreadsheet.
