Hi to all,

I have to protest, Mallory obuiously has tremendous experience in getting things to go up.

Please please give her a break, maybe the fact that NAHI's membership rolls just ain't one of them isn't her fault

Maybe they don't have "limp Richards"

Regards

Gerry

Yeah I know I promised myself I'd leave the political **** alone, but ........... i don't care who you are, that IS funny!!

Here is an interesting confession......

Guess how a NAHI requires its members to prove their number of inspections...

3 Q And you don't have to do any inspections to be an
4 associate member?
5 A Well, it depends upon. There is two ways to become an
6 associate member. You can go to a home inspectors
7 training school and complete a practice inspection, or
8 because some states aren't regulated still, you can do
9 20 full fee paid home inspections.
10 Q Okay. And if the association associate member does the
11 20 full inspections, then he or she provides you with an
12 affidavit that states that?
13 A Yes. On the membership app there is a notary statement
14 that needs to be completed by a notary also.
15 Q And is there any independent -- other than the affidavit
16 is there any other effort made to verify that the
17 associate member completed the 20 inspections?
18 A No, because we rely upon the honor of the notary.
All that a notary "notarizes" is a signature...not that the affadavit is true. I guess they don't teach you things like that at the fake pee pee factory.

...but certainly, for the highest level of membership, someone actually validates that the required number of 250 inspections is done. Right?

21 A The NAHI CRI level.
22 Q That requires 250 inspections?
23 A Yes, but the home inspector has to successfully pass the
24 NAHI CRI exam.
25 Q That's also -- the 250 inspections is also verified by


00084
1 the affidavit of the --
2 A There is an affidavit for that membership level also.
3 Q And again is there any other -- other than the
4 affidavit, is there any independent effort to determine
5 whether the member did the 250 inspections?
6 A They need to supply a list, unless they -- some of the
7 inspectors don't like to do that because, of course,
8 that's confidentiality with their clients with giving
9 addresses and stuff, but most of them do because our
10 records are kept confidential.
11 Q What if they don't want to provide you with the names or
12 the addresses of the inspections that they did?
13 A Well, again we're relying upon the notary -- the honor
14 of the notary and the home inspector showing the notary
15 the number of inspections.
16 Q But the notary is just verifying that the person who
17 signed -- whose signature appears on the affidavit is
18 actually the person who signed it, right?

Sssshhhhhhhhh. Listen......do you hear that????


If you listen very closely....you can hear the sphincter muscles contracting over at inspectionnews.com...

Their cover has been blown.

Perhaps it is more clear why I chose to publish this in the Legislation forum.

Yep, remember folks... they don't have requirements like www.nachi.org/rigorous2006.htm Their main requirement is one of unverified experience and they rely solely on the "honor" of the applicant to tell them the truth about this unverified experience.
