Every bit of information I have posted has been from the Department of Licensing, either Rhonda Myers (Home Inspector Program Manager) or Jerry McDonald (Department of Licensing Assistant Administrator). When I post, it is easier to write DOL rather than writing everything out each and every time. You may think it is "crap", but it has helped a lot of people make decisions in regards to their business. That is what it is all about. And if you take affront about my due diligence remark, perhaps it is because you have been too friggin lazy to do exactly that in the past, until you were goaded into it.

Best to all.

Rhonda Myers is credible? Hang on, I need to go polish my Aston Martin Vanquish, BRB.

I had my first client ask me yesterday if I was licensed. She was a referral from an agent that loves my reports and demeanor with her clients. I answered no and explained the new law, the requirements and politely directed her to the DOL's website.

Since SPI licensing required E&O insurance, you guys used this --- prior to your present scheme of legislation --- to keep your competitors few.

I'll let you lie some more...then I'll publish the email, if I still have it. If not, it is in the message board archives for it has been published before.

Like your little blog, you have never let the truth interfere with a good story. Keep up the mediocre work.

What....you mean this e-mail that referred to how you were mis-interpreting his first two e-mails?

I'm continuing to book inspections in the face of the passing of September 1st. Just thought I'd keep the lurking, non-licensed inspectors up to date and stress that the fear mongering is just that.
