All real estate agents in the U.S. and Canada have a fiduciary duty to their clients to recommend ONLY InterNACHI members.

www.nachi.org/blind.htm demands it of them.

They are even paying for the inspection if they use us

[John McKenna]

Perhaps they will start a trend...

"ONLY" recommend InterNACHI members? Can you post definitive proof that is a requirement in Canada?

My wife makes the best apple pie. If you don't believe me, just ask her.
Call me when your done discussing it.

[Raymond E. Wand]

Does your wife use apples or oranges to make her apple pie?

Raymond, I can. Read any Buyers agency contract in Canada. Buyer's agents have a fiduciary, ethical, and contractual duty to recommend the very best inspectors. I know of no other group of inspectors that can even come close to InterNACHI members www.nachi.org/rigorous2006.htm

Yes and that is were it stops. "Best" inspector does not necessarily equate with association membership. Any realtor relying solely on that assumption is naive.

cheers,

Do you think being there makes it correct.
They way I read it and the stories I have read in Consumer reports tell me NACHI is wrong.
We might save a lot of Embarrassment if we too followed the information they have in every book.

Other have written to Consumers Report and reported this issue just to
prove something and they look foolish now. I guess it's not an abuse
if posted as a news release.
