Nov. 9, 2007 "Free Home Inspection"
I noticed an ad on the ActiveRain real estate network for "Free Home Inspection" a couple of days ago. Can home inspectors afford to do home inspections for free?
How?
BOGO? (it's a shoe thing... but shouldn't it be BOGOF?) Buy One Get One Free.

I clicked on the link and went to a page that says

I found the company, the home inspector is a new member on ActiveRain, Steve Radabaugh of Preferred Property Inspection.
I sent Steve an email saying the link in the ad is not working. I wondered if his website was overwhelmed with traffic or just a bad link. Intrigued I had to look further… here's the Free Home Inspection Offer on Steve's website - Free Home Inspection The rest of the story! I don't know Steve., so I am not recommending Steve… (just because I don't know him) just bringing this offer to your attention. It seems to be a monthly offer.
It turned out the ActiveRain just had a bad link!
The ad is eye catching. "Free"
