Defeat of Missouri HB 978 laudedby: jbushartUpdated: 2007-05-03 16:49:11-05To the editor:

On behalf of the Missouri Chapter of the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors, I would like to extend our gratitude to the many citizens who recognized and acted upon the threat that the Missouri Association of Realtors posed by its recent attempt to control home inspectors by legislation that would put its members in control over who would be and who would not be allowed to be licensed as a home inspector in this state.

As home inspectors, we recognize that not all real estate salespeople will do anything and everything to get a sale. Some are very honest and professional folks. Still, it is very important to the person who is looking to buy a house to know that the inspector they hire to inspect the home has no interest at all in its sale.and is not influenced, directly or indirectly, by anyone who is. With the commissions that are earned by real estate salesmen and brokers in the area of $18,000.00 to $25,000.00 for many of the homes being sold in this state, a home buyer needs to have a disinterested third party --- a home inspector with nothing to lose or gain in the sale --- to advise them as to the actual condition of the property they are looking to buy.

Some members of the Missouri Association of Realtors, still smarting over the unexpected failure of HB 978 to become law, have promised a more vigorous and better funded effort to bring another bill to the legislature in the next session. I am confident that the citizens of our great state will, once again, rise to the occasion and ensure that their home inspections remain free from the conflict of interest that some would prefer that they have.

President, Missouri Chapter of the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors

With any luck, Roy, the good inspectors of Florida will be thanking their citizens for the same thing in the days to come.

Aint' that the truth.

Good luck folks.

[Dan Bowers, CMI]

Just a thought for all you guys - there are other inspectors, agents, etc that monitor these Boards. Any real important issues should probably be treated like the stealth bomber (quiet & under the radar).

What you need to keep doing relentlessly is calling the Governor's office and sending e-mails every day without pause. You know, I have tried to lead the way with as much activity as I could. I just got off of the phone with someone at the Gov's office and she said that she has not receive many calls on this legislation. Is our 800 pound gorilla awake? I may not be in line with all thinking but I have the one thing in common with you that matters. I want to defeat this bill. I noticed the activity on this message board has slowed down regarding this legislation. Do not lie down for this.
