Any appraisers or inspectors in here?

[Mark Sherwood]

Hi all!

I currently work in customer service for a tech company but am considering a career change to being a home appraiser or home inspector.

I am in Canada and have looked at the requirements, however I was wondering if there are any appraisers or inspectors in the group who can speak to the actual careers and day to day of the jobs.

Do you enjoy the job? Are you self employed or work for a company? Is the salary generally pretty good? Would you recommend either of the careers? Or both? Especially for someone with little to no trades background?

Thanks everyone in advance and I look forward to hearing your replies!
