I've spoken to many at ASHI about it last week as at a dinner I was invited to (me and 40 ASHIettes) to discuss industry trends and what we need to get our fees up (something I've given much thought to).

Damn, Then why are you offering folks memberships at a lower cost/

I know for a fact that you offered someone in AZ a membership renual at a lowered rate, I just wish he would have taken it.

BTW, it is not "Realty Times" and never was... that was the Trademark issue we had to fight first. It was "Real Property Times." See www.USPTO.gov for an update.

Some inspectors I'd pay to have them join NACHI and some I wouldn't want if they paid $5,000. Bloodline is everything.

[Nick Gromicko]

If you want to start a 10,000 cap thread, start it. Off topic.

[Nick Gromicko]

I'll try to find out how many http://www.nachi.org/homeheadstart2006.htm were printed and how many have already been shipped but I know it is in the hundreds of thousands.

All the damn ASHI members love CMI. I got nothing but resistance to it at NACHI and nothing but praise for it at ASHI. Go figure.

[Marcel R. Cyr]

Would that possibly be because ASHI does not require the stringent requirements that NACHI is well known for and uphold the SOP that is similar but not the same. (I heard that before, Similar, opposite, typical, but different.) ha. ha.

I don't know why, but I have an inbox full of emails from ASHI members thanking me for doing CMI and my work to get pricing up in our industry. Their response is something I'd have never predicted.

OK, Nick. Thanks for letting me know the plan, man. For some reason, this is the first time I've heard of this membership cap. I'm glad you let me join when you did.

It pops up from time to time and I suspect it is nothing more than more marketing. Try this:

[Nick Gromicko]

Wrong, me standing up in front of 40 ASHI big wigs last week and proposing it has nothing to do with marketing.

Start a new thread if you are seconding the proposal.

[jmichalski]

I wouldnt dream of seconding that idea.

Nick, how do we get these? Are you automatically sending some to every inspector? Wasn't completely clear on the link.
