Is your home inspector blind?

Is your home inspector blind? If he's not a member of the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI), he might just be!

Other home inspection associations have no entrance examination. Blind people, children, psychics (who claim to "sense" if a house is ok) and even pets have joined other associations. InterNACHI is the only association with an entrance examination. We turn down more than 1/2 the inspectors who want to join because they can't pass our exam.
