Seminar Leader: Joseph A. Ferry, Esquire is a nationally known legal authority on issues affecting the home inspection industry and has represented professional home inspectors nationally on a variety of legal matters including the defense of claims of professional negligence. He is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and Temple University School of Law.


TESTIMONIALS
"Your seminar was the best money I have spent since entering the home inspection business. The seminar should be mandatory for all home inspectors."
- Kent Duke, Old North State Home Inspections Inc., Raleigh, NC

"I drove over 4 1/2 hours one way in treacherous freezing rain conditions on only (3) hours of sleep to attend this event. It was worth every minute of time and every penny spent!"
- Rick Bates, RickBates.net, Environmental, Mechanical, and Structural - Consultants, Educators and Inspectors, Elmira, NY

"There are 30 members in my [ASHI] chapter. I'm going to tell all of them to attend this seminar the next time it comes to Richmond."
- John Ellis, Inside n' Out Inspections, Richmond, VA

“Joe, this was a great seminar. I will contact my ASHI counterparts with your information, hopefully you can speak at one of our continuing education meetings.
“PS I am going over my pre inspection agreement this week end and have also made changes to my inspection reports as of yesterday.”
- Mike Elko, A-Pro Home Inspection Services, Yardville, NJ

“Joe, I enjoyed your seminar. It was very helpful and informative. Although I hope I don't have to, I'm sure I'll be contacting you sometime in the future for assistance.”
- Jim Horsley, PMH Associates, Moorestown, NJ

"Joe,thanks for the great info. at the Boston Seminar. Nice job."
- David Valley, Certified Massachusetts Home Inspections, Methuen, MA

“I just spent over 5 hours with Joe Ferry. He had a class called Law and Disorder in Plymouth Meeting this morning. I wanted to tell you all about it.
“I thought that it was excellent. Well worth my time. I could have made my average $1300 today, but I spent that time with Joe and other inspectors who attended. It was worth my time because I learned things that I had not thought of or was told before or read about. Those things will be now implemented in my work. I now have things to improve in my report writing (disclaimers), in my agreement (clauses), in my insurance (hold-harmless), in my methodologies (abiding to the standards of practice), and having confidence in me being fully prepared when being named in a complaint (having no fear).”
From NACHI Message Board:
- Ben Gromicko, Peach Inspections, Phoenixville, PA





SCHOLARSHIPS AND TUITION ASSISTANCE
I also do not want anyone to miss this seminar because for whatever reason they may not be able to afford it at the moment. I have been in that situation all too frequently myself.

If you want to attend the seminar but are having financial issues at the moment, write to me and I will make appropriate accommodations. And no one will ever know.

The important thing is to attend this seminar when it comes within 40 miles of you because I will not be coming back for another year.

DO ME A FAVOR
I do not know how good my email list is. I do know that it is far from complete. I know that there are many home inspectors that I am not reaching with this email. Please forward it to your colleagues who may not be on my email list and who would otherwise miss this acclaimed NO RISK Seminar.

Not getting sued is a marketing strategy I can live with.

Now Dan, that never happened. The do-nothing association out of Minneapolis sued us first, we merely counter sued to protect the free speech rights of our members. Then after we all settled, the do-nothing association out of Minneapolis went back to court. They are REALTOR bribing warmongers. And now I'm going to teach them something about warfare.

http://www.nachi.org/forum/search-643651.html

You will see the agenda for his constant presence on the NACHI message board, i.e. to "attack" Nick, and belittle what NACHI org. provides for their members. All I can say to dharris is,... jump into the NACHI swimming pool, the water is warm Bro. Hey, we will even forgive you for being a NAHI member. After all, what have they done for YOU lately??

Exclamation Re: How To Stop Your Home Inspection Clients From Suing You!
