We recently connected with Jermaine Jackson and have shared our conversation below.
Jermaine, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. So, let’s start with a hypothetical – what would you change about the educational system?
For the past 5 years, I’ve been a residential and commercial building inspector in Atlanta, but before that, I had never heard about home inspections.
As a child, living with my parents whom owned their home for over forty years, they never mentioned an inspector.
As an adult, until recently, I had always rented so I was never introduced to the field until a friend of mines bought a house.
I would soon learn that It’s apart of the trades industry and if I could change anything about the American educational system, I would bring back vocational trades and add home inspections to it.
Being in this industry, I have witnessed first hand the shortage of plumbers, electrician, inspectors, and carpenters. We all know that college isn’t for everyone so a lot of young men and women could have had more rewarding and fulfilling careers as tradespeople, but without them being offered anymore, they don’t get a choice early on.
I graduated college and found a job but always felt that I was destined to do sometime else. I feel that if I would have been introduced to this industry, I could have been more successful at it.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I’m Jermaine and I am the owner of Get It Done Inspections, which is one of the best up and coming inspection companies in Atlanta. I was introduced to this industry by a friend and after getting certified online, I decided to shoot for the stars and be the best inspector in metro Atlanta. We provide our residential and commercial clients with a very detailed assessment and report so that they can know just everything about the property. Our experience and attention to detail along with visually stunning reports sets up apart from our competitors. So, if you’re in the market for a new or used home or building, don’t forget to call Get It Done and “get it done the right way!”
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
I was able to build my audience on social media but following trends and putting a “home inspection spin” on my reels. Simply by making that them relate to home inspections and the things I see on a daily basis.
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
My best source of new clients has been realtors and agents. Realtors usually recommend three inspectors if their client doesn’t have anyone in mind, I’ve been able to build relationships with some great realtors that love my customer service, reports, recommendations, and knowledge.
