I find it funny that Joe is also a member of ASHI and brags about it on his website. http://www.square-oneinspection.com/4x/aboutus.html

If he does not like ASHI and blaims all of his licensing woes on ASHI then why is he a member? Makes no sense for a person to blast an orginization that they are a member of.

Sure it does.

Membership in other orgs can simply be a matter of marketing and nothing more.

IMHO licensing has done little to improve the overall quality of home inspectors.

It certainly has not reduced the number of low ballers around but it has resulted in a lot of schools springing up offering eager job seekers a new career.

Marketing.

But it might be my last year as an ASHI member, referrals have recently been few & far between, besides it appears that ASHI has lost it's hold on the Tampa Bay market.
