I find it very interesting when some vendors quit NMFS because they say the $5 fees we pay are lower than other companies. According to national resources the average fee for mortgage field services is about $4 per inspection. Some higher, some lower. It really depends on where you service and what kind of volume you receive.
While talking to other inspectors in the business, they tell me what fees they are getting paid. You might find this interesting.
San Francisco, CA – $1.00
Houston, TX – $1.50
Irving, TX – $1.75
Jacksonville, FL – $1.75
Oklahoma City – $2.00
Tulsa – $2.00
Dallas – $2.00
Little Rock – $3.00
Atlanta, GA – $3.50
Miami, FL – $4.00
Tennessee – $4.50
Lubbock, TX – $4.50
Baton Rouge, LA – $4.00
New Orleans, LA – $3.50
Norman, OK – $3.00
NMFS – 63% – $5.00
NMFS – 23% – $7.00
NMFS – 8% – $8.00 to $10.00
NMFS – 6% – $11.00 to $25.00
If you live in another city that pays low fees, let me know and I will post them.
