I hope you are understanding our model better.

BidDay is the Client. Your Clients are then going to access / view the report as part of their purchase offering / decision.

Is BidDay requiring E&O insurance coverage as additionally insured on a Member's policy or is BidDay assuming all Liability that may result after the Inspection of a property?

1. Inspectors who register now, will be considered a VIP inspector at the $200 investment, and will be notified of inspections 3 days EARLIER than Standard Preferred Inspectors.

2. Inspectors, upon registering, can check a box that allows them to register with their credit card, and it will not be charged until they "Reserve" a property for inspection. The Membership rate will be a future stated market rate (approximately $495) paid on the day a property is reserved.

In addition, we have revised and extended our job completion date from 3 days to 5 days to accommodate inspector’s schedules.

What Qualifiers do you currently have in place other than a Member's ability to provide you with a Credit Card for Debit Purposes?

I think many on this board feel offended by your total lack of concern and the willingness to answer direct questions. Please consider this a negative post also. But, in your position of being a President of an Organization your lack of follow up to direct questions are viewed as a major concern and a RED FLAG warning. Also a President should not make threats to members of an organization that he's trying to recruit from, bad judgement.

I just did a search for my zip code (within 250 miles) and there are currently no properties listed for auction.

How soon do you plan on having a full portfolio of properties that would benefit inspectors paying for their first inspection + from BidDay per year?

[Joe Farsetta]

Mr Ed,

As a member of this org, get used to our COE.

NACHI COE:

The InterNACHI member shall not engage in any act or practice that could be deemed damaging, seditious or destructive to InterNACHI, fellow InterNACHI members, InterNACHI employees, leadership or directors. Member(s) accused of acting or deemed in violation of such rules shall be reviewed by the Ethics committee for possible sanctions and/or expulsion from InterNACHI.

Guess what? You need not be accused, as you have posted said sedition act on this very message board, which is an InterNACHI asset.

Rack me up for a "restricted" notice. And while you're at it, please respond to the questions I had previously asked.

[James H. Bushart]

Fast Eddie has PM'd a member and threatened him with civil action for expressing his opinions on this message board.

This is not the type of vendor who deserves access to our members.

Joe, please take whatever action is necessary to have him removed as a member and have all of his posts moved into the SPAM forum, ASAP.

This guy is freakin' idiot.

[Joe Farsetta]

I received information that some members were allegedly contacted by someone representing themself as Mr. Rozek, and were threatened with legal action if all their posts were not immediately removed from this message board. Apparently there may be some truth to this nasty rumour, as some posts by our members have magically been deleted. Unfortunately, at this point we do not know if it was Rozek or not. If I were Mr. Rozek and I was not the person involved, I'd be very concerned and would do all I could to clear my good name. To that end, many of us would e glad to help you, Ed. I'm confident you have nothing to do with any of this unprofessional behavior.

But, if these threats are truly being made, I would like any and all of those contacted to please forward a transcript of that conversation to Nick Gromicko and Chris Morrell immediately. If the NACHI message board is truly a free-speech message board, it is for all members. I have not seen a single post that would be considered as out of line. This vendor came to this site, and posted his wares for all to see.

I have already received permission from one of those contacted by someone claiming to be Mr. Rozek. I have been given permission to post this information on this very website.

For those from other orgs who monitor this message board, I would ask you to watch the goings on carefully. Thas isnt an association thing; its an industry thing at this point.

The one perpetuating this pain to our members apparently believed that we'd all fall in line. When some did not, he responded in the only way he knew.

If his skin is so thin that he cannot come up with a tempered and logical response to make this perception of his offering fade into the distance, how will he possibly survive the cut-throat world of auctions and real estate? What kind of executive is this?

Not even Mr. Insurance (Michael Napadow) had the gall to threaten anyone. At least his legacy has that positive note going for it.

In any event, if Mr Rozelk or some stooge is behind this (allegations at this point) their actions are unbecoming a NACHI member, and IMHO, should be addressed.

Perhaps an apology on Mr Rozek's part is in order. Of course, if it was NOT mr Rozek who has actually called our members, nor had any of his employees contacted our members, my sincerest apologies in advance.

Mr. Rozek, allegations have been made regarding your conduct as a member of this organization. Though you have refrainied from responding to my previous questions, I must ask you to respond to this one.

No telephone calls please. I'd prefer e-mails.

I'm confident that this is just a big misunderstanding, right? Surely you agree in the right of free speech. Surely you, as a saavy businessman running million-dollar company, has seen and taken much more than this. Your VCs had to be tougher on you than these measly questions, no? And, as a NACHI vendor, I'm sure that you would never condone using threats to stifle the expressions of another member, even when taking you to task.

[John McKenna]

It will be interesting to see what follows as this vendors try's
to tell the NACHI forum to stop making comments they
do not approve of.

That is like waving a red cloth at a charging bull.

[Christopher Currins]

Eddie you should have read some of Dominic Maricic's threads before you started. You could have learned how to sell your product and make friends at the same time....Unfortunately I think it is too late for you now.

Corporate Suicide at best.

InterNACHI members,

I removed the end comment on my message. This is your forum, you are absolutely right.

At the direction of your President I did call several members directly, and enjoyed talking with several members. Threatening members is not productive nor positive. I actually had a few good conversations especially when understood their feelings and past experiences. Threatening InterNACHI members is not something that is productive or positive.

If there are pranksters that are posing as me and threatening members, then I do not know what to say. I have started to see the way the energy on the board has been moving, and if someone think it's fun to inpersonate me, then I'm stumped to see the enjoyment in it.

Many forums are a place to allow a community to come together, share ideas, help eachother, mastermind, aid in another's live or business.... that is the type of forum that I would be excited about. Negativity never feels good.

I feel like I'm at a loss of ideas to help you feel comfortable with BidDay.

It is not in my nature to spend time dwelling in a spiral of negativity. Tomorrow a new technology build will be released following recommendations from your inspection community. Also, I changed the pricing requirement after talking with my team, reading your posts, and really thinking about how to effectively address your concerns.

Please contact our office if you have ideas that you would like to express in aligning with the home inspection industry.

Thank you,
Eddie Rezek
BidDay, President

[Mike Hazelwood]

Eddie,

Help me understand.

You are my client? You want me to pay you $200 so that you could hire me for inspections at $290 a pop. Is there a limit to the sq.ft. at this price?

I have my own software that I have been using for a long time and very comfortable with. I do not use Inspectvue, so to be a part of this I have to pay $800 to $1000. For the termite reports do you require a certain software? Can i subcontract out the termite inspection to another company?

So now I am out $1200 and you say I am not guaranteed any inspections. Please explain to me how this will be worth it.

You would probably have an easier go at this if it wasnt for the software requirments and the penalizing of inspectors. I could understand wanting to qualify your inspectors. I am assuming that the software vendors already paid you to be a prefered vendor and there is no way to back out of that?

I will probably have many more questions later.

These are serious questions and would like an honest answer, this is in no way bashing you. If I can give my self more inspections that is always a good thing but not at a bad cost.

Thank you,

The only way is to start with posting the answers to the questions already asked of you. Threats will just dig you a deeper hole.

[Joe Farsetta]

Eddie,

Thank you for your action and response. Very professional.

But, and we should be clear here, the restrictions should be gone. This action would be more than simply removing the words from your message. If BidDay cannot deal with negative comments, then it speaks volumes for the company's willingness to work with people of all personalities, thoughts, and expressiveness. So long as the inspector performs in a maner consistent with BidDay's requirements, it should be allright.

So, please reconsider the ACTION, which is punishable under the NACHI COE, rather than simply removing the WORDS from this message board.

Certainly it is your company to do with as you wish. It is also OUR message board, and OUR association you are now a part of and wish to do business with.
