Realtors: is your home inspector really qualified?

While state licensing requirements set a minimum bar that all inspectors must pass to do business in this state, we are certified by InterNACHI - the first international home inspection organization that requires its members to pass certification exams and take annual education credits, much like realtors do. InterNACHI turns down more than half the inspectors who want to join because they can't pass our exam or fulfill our membership requirements.

Our inspectors have to meet all of our membership requirements and pass our exam before being accepted into InterNACHI. We don't offer associate or candidate memberships (junior memberships for inspectors who have not met the requirements).

• Have to pass NACHI's Online Inspector Examination every year.
• Have to complete NACHI's online Ethics Obstacle Course.
