"I plan to immediately create a mobile chapter to rotate major inspection events throughout Southern California. Many of these events will be targeted toward homebuyers and real estate agents and designed to promote the use of seller inspections," said Ms. Wright.

Wow, sounds great Nick. Sounds just like what you and I talked about earlier in the year for me to do throughout the Pacific Northwest with the Hummer and advertising all over it? Is that basically the same idea, or something different?

[Russell Spriggs]

Good deal!

I hope it's more than Krystal driving around California in a NACHI painted Hummer. California is home to approximately 11% of the countries total population and growing. If California were a country, it would have the 8th largest economy in the world. In just orange county alone, there were over 45,000 residential sales transactions in the past 12 months. There were over 42,000 homes sold in California in 2005 with a sales price of over 1 million dollars. If NACHI intends to be the dominant inspection association in the United States it must have a strong presence in California.

Advertising dollars could be better spent in many different ways.

Is this the only place this is being advertised?

whats the new address? How many employees?

Its quite obvious that it will take more than one person for such an area, unless it is only a cyber association move.

Why not further staff the Colorado Office to advance on all fronts?

[wforsyth]

Well I agree 100% It sure would take more than just a Hummer, and more than one person.

[wforsyth]

Of course she did say MOBILE chapter.

Sounds like a vehicle or an RV.

[bkelly1]

MOBILE-- No physical address, no stability, no accountibility? Lets hope not, but it would be nice to see advertising in other ways..

[wforsyth]

I guess we'll just have to wait for the big guy to answer.

Even though alot of people didn't agree with the Hummer thing, after the big email I told my kids about it and they were totally pumped about getting a Hummer. Even went and told their friends. That's been pretty hard to live down and disappointing.

But, live and learn. *shrug*

[bkelly1]

The big email?

[wforsyth]

The big "you get the first Hummer" email.

But like I said. No hard feelings. I'm hoping there won't be any wrinkles in the book deal at least.

[bkelly1]

Live and learn, have you got a contract yet?

[wforsyth]

Nope. Not yet. But like I said, if there isn't a contract, then there won't be a book and it will just be marketing all to hell and back. I already have several back up leads. Nick is too savvy to let it go. Besides...I've got Paul writing on the electrical. Who can resist that???

[bkelly1]

Tehee...lolol.. some homeowners probably could.
