Default CMI Tampa Here We Come

Folks

We just got the Master Inspector Network Booklet in today! I am attaching some pictures for you to see.

20,000 will be hitting the NE Florida market in the coming weeks. We have I believe almost 20 inspectors in the manual and the pilot study begins.

The next market I would like to tackle is TAMPA. Yes Tampa/Clearwater area. I would like to drop ship 20,000 to Joe Burkeson as soon as he accepts chapter leaders ship down there. I spoke to Joe a couple of weeks ago about setting up a chapter and becoming president. Not sure with all the hoopla on the board if Joe is up for the struggle, but sure would like to see him give it a go.

Michael
PS - I dont know if I uploaded the pictures correctly! If not I will have Catherine do it in the morning!

Ten days after Mike Rowan accepted Nick's offer to run the CMI program as president of the MCIB, Inspection Depot, on 11/30/06, published the following in the 20,000 copies of the booklet he is mailing out to the Tampa Market:

Quote:
Certified Master Inspector..........Inspectors must also have passed a psychometrically approved examination such as the FABI test or the national home inspector's examination.
Publishing this on 11/30 and then soliciting suggestions for how the program should be run a week later in a variety of threads certainly appears to be an attempt of manipulation....

What else has been implemented and is being put before the public while he hides in the dark?

And look at what he has to say about NACHI in the same brochure....




Quote:
NACHI...is a relatively new association for home inspectors........NACHI also has a working inspector program whereby inspectors must have completed 4 mock inspections for review purposes by NACHI peers.
Hey, Rowan. Did you let Hoopy write this?

Or how about this, from Meddlin' Mike?



Quote:
Ask each company to answer the following.....Is the Inspector a member of ASHI, FABI or state certified contractor or professional engineer?
Now, Mike...please...rejoin the discussions you initiated and tell us more about your "peer review" program led by Hoopy.

This is the brochure he is sending out to the Tampa market. Way to go, Mike.

My bet is that Joe would prefer not to link himself and his own business to the Rowan scam. What do you say, Joe?

We will be happy to work where commitment is present. Right now we are in the pilot stage. I am very optimistic, however, James B, may just jinks us with the “every day it rains attitude”, who knows!

James, Joe B has now become CMI, I figure he will take the challenge on.

I cannot see Joe passing out 20,000 brochures that bash NACHI...then market his ICC class to the same guys. Joe is smarter than that.

After a nice review of ASHI, FABI and NAHI, let's see how Rowan's book describes NACHI....

Quote:

Does he expose the fact that ASHI candidates take no test at all before they are required to hit the streets and do 250 inspections before they can become members?

Nice, huh?

Do you think Joe is going to blanket the Tampa area with this kind of crap?

I wonder how much he charges CMI's to be listed in his brochure that bashes NACHI members. What is the charge for these ads, Mike?

You never stop making me laugh.

List the entire paragraph and follow it by the certified master inspector paragraph. Did I get it wrong? We will be reprinting for Joe's market and will change if it is not a correct statement.

Dont just take words and pieces.

Hey, how much do you charge per ad for the inspectors included in your brochure? You do charge for these ads, don't you?

Yes, you did.

You stated that the CMI must first pass "the FABI test" or the NHIE. This is incorrect.

Or have you snuck one in there, already, you slick little fella....

Which part is a "bash"? All I see are facts.
