Good job Kent,

Sounds as though you have indeed been busy. Keep up the good work....

BTW - if you google Mexico Home Inspections, you get me!

If Kent succeeds with InterNACHI... we'll have our International RELO service we've tried for so long to create.

It's a big, big world. Many relocation companies may use indigenous inspectors, but many western companies expanding into Asia (read: PACIFIC RIM if you watch international news) may want inspectors more familiar with western cultural preferences to ensure that their people will feel at home. They'll go online to look for inspectors. Who'll they find? Right now... no one.

Very shortly, anyone going online to find international inspectors will find InterNACHI.

I understand that many NACHI members will have no interest in traveling to inspect, but for those of you interested in the possibilities InterNACHI offers, we're at a point at which we have a blank slate pretty much worldwide.
"a blank slate pretty much worldwide" How often do you think you'll hear that phrase relative to a business that you're in?

Congratulatons Will! You've just been elected Internachi's "Most Prolific (and first... and only... International Inspector of the Year"!

Unfortunately, that means as our first honorary member, you have to pay double dues as soon as we get around to deciding what they are. You are a true supporter of InterNACHI, Thank you.

In all seriousness, Will is a true pioneer in international inspection, one of the very few in the world actually performing inspections abroad, one of the first, and I'd like to take this opportunity to thank him for his help and advise.

Hold on, let me go ask my guys working in the back a few questions about where the eats are good and I'll get back to you on that

Good Morning Kent,

Any idea as to when the InterNachi website will be up and running? Also, have you and Nick decided what the membership fees and or options might be. Will other inspection organization members be able to join InterNachi for the same costs as NACHI members? Have you considered piggy-backing the InterNachi fee along with NACHI during our annual renewal? It could be a membership option or something similar.

There are also a lot of realtors located along both sides of the southern border who are always interested in new ways to market their wares and or increase there exposure
to the real estate buying public.

Go InterNachi!

Kenton, I just tried your web site, its indicating it is still under construction and not much information has been given.

Sorry to be slow out of the gate, but I think we'll be coming out with some answers soon, and it'll probably not be what you expect.
