This is what InterNACHI members need right now

[Brian A. MacNeish]

This thread title is from the "MISC. DISCUSSION" section. Many members were discussing the change of NACHI/INACHI from an inspectors' organization to a vendor based organization not promoting HI's. The following claim is found in lawsuit against PHIC:

"The reasons for INTERNACHI’’s success are many, but one significant reason is that INTERNACHI does a better job of promoting the services of its members than other trade associations"

How times have changed!!!

2,136 Posts on the NACHI message board. For a non-member guest who thinks NACHI is "bad", you sure do hang out here a lot, huh! Are you lonely, got no customers, or what.

Join NACHI, use the marketing tools available to members, and you won't be so lonely!

Out of that 2,136 posts, what is the amount of people posting since it is likley that somebody posted more than once?

Uh, Kevin, look to the far right of YOUR name in your post. Or, to the far right of Brian's name in his post.

I don't think you're saying that if you add up all those numbers from everyone that wrote something, it would total 2,136.

2,136 post can come from as many as 2,136 people or can be as few 5 people. I was just wondering how many people are participating which would give me an indication of how much those people are participating.

I was just wondering, nothing more.

I think Erby is refering to the # of times Brian has posted. (took me a few min to understand it too)

I apologize. What you wrote was clear I just read it wrong for some reason.

2,136 is a lot of posts.

Agreed!

That free truck deal is a direct benefit for "NACHI MEMBERS ONLY" from Nicks business association with General Motors. The fact that any other inspector/person on the planet can get the same deal from their local GM or Chrysler dealer is unimportant.

I have seen the ads (in other states) however, I haven't seen any from my local GM or Chrysler dealer.

I also haven't gotten the details from Nick, yet.

Actually, free continuing education credits are available all over the place, including but not limited to OEM's, Municipalities, Boards of Realtors, Government Agencies, etc.. For 19 years I gathered my continuing education credits for little or no cost without the benefit of NACHI.

Don't get me wrong, the free CE's at NACHI are great, but I pay $289 per year for them.

BTW, walk in to any GM or Chrysler dealer and offer to buy their top of the line truck at full MSRP if they'll throw in a stripped down version of their low end base truck plus taxes, license and docs... You just bought yourself a couple of trucks. Have fun when oil goes back up to $75 next year and $100+ in a couple years. With the money we're going to give to the UAW in the next few months, GM and Chrysler should give everyone of us a new truck...

Oh, I forgot.... There's no "FREE" lunch!

A few years ago, NACHI used to be a home inspector association, was home inspector driven and had an Education Committee that searched, gathered and approved hundreds of free on-line courses.

Periodically, they would publish links that were several pages long on just about every topic available...along with the NACHI CEUs available through their use.

Perhaps they remain in the archives.

I credit NACHI with help making my business successful, and once again to blank stares and silent lips ask what is better anywhere else and why.
The clowns come hear to knock NACHI, but offer no alternative.

Hmmmmm ...more crickets.
