You will notice, as predicted, Dan refused to answer the question about what percentage of ASHI's membership are come-only-with-cash, no quizzes, no exams, no mocks, no courses, no qualifications whatsoever Candidates.

Golly nick.... I did answer it some have to go potty once in a while.

As far as computer illiterate thats a cheap shot against older ashi and your older members.
Dam right the older you are it's not easy to change.
I'll be the first to admit that up to 5 years ago although I owned several computers for my other business's I ddn't know how to turn one on till 5 years ago. Doe's that make me illiterate? the way I see it ,The older we are the harder it's to adjust to times and sooner or latter we all have to adjust.

Why do we allow the message board be accessed by non-members?

I know it's fun to let them rant, but they seem to be coming up in a lot of message board discussions.

[Nick Gromicko]

Ken, because sometimes the critics are correct.

NACHI grew to be the biggest and the best because every time a critic found a hole in NACHI... we plugged it.

[Nick Gromicko]

Claude, thanks for digging up that info which reveals that this is NOT an ASHI requirement. Like I said, Dan's bogus, made-up organization has more membership requirements than the real one (ASHI) he belongs to.

Yes it is true. If you read the post, contrary what Nicki states I did NOT state otherwise.
ASHI does not market a new inspector to the public as "Certified " until that member completes the rigid and enforced membership requirements.

To qualify as a "certified inspector" and to be marketed to the public the new inspector must provide proof of completing a minimum of 50 inspections [ I don't know about other states ,the inspectors in AZ that completed 30 reports to meet state standards leaves the inspector only 20 more to be marketed as "ASHI Certified" after ASHI national report review and other membership requirements.

What Nickie does not want you to know is that ASHI provides new members this extremely valuable benefit that not only assures the new inspector is well informed of enforced ASHI SOP and COE , not to mention while going thru the process the new inspector picks up marketing knowledge and proper ways to deal with the customer to get referrals when they go out on their own.
ASHI does not provide instant Gratification, these new members have the desire and commitment to provide the best inspection to the public so they can use the reputation ASHI and ASHI members has maintained for the past 30 years with the public, real estate and political community's.

Hey, Mike Rowan...former ASHI President. When you recently became a NACHI member, did you join for the instant gratification described by dharris, here?

I have to pause, think and ask myself....how many experienced home inspectors having 1000 or more inspections are joining ASHI as opposed to those that we welcome to NACHI, regularly?

Yea... It's usually not disclosed until they pay the full rate and read that information on the BB, that's a sore subject between some in the org. and some could care less as long as they are instantly "certified" by taking an on line quiz ,and think they are getting something that nobody else in the profession can get unless they join.

Yep...and a vendor who once tried to have me removed from NACHI when I opposed him on a certain issue, last year. I guess if you can't lick 'em, join 'em.

Dan

What's with this "instant" bull.You I'm sure have visited the requirements to join NACHI and if you read a little further down [I don't know if you did] you will see the requirements to maintain membership after you apply/join.

And just for your info I have knowledge of three [3] members [NACHI] that have finished the home inspection course that I took at almost 1000 hrs,and many have other qualifications,one is an ENG.,Are you saying that we as members are not qualified?And yes we took all NACHI entrance exams.

DAN Can you please tell me how many ASHI HI have been grandfathered as full members?These guys are not up to date Dan,they think they know everything but in actual fact they don't know squat.And they have new inspectors ride along with them so they can teach them.Nick is right the blind leading the blind.Kind of like teaching your kids to drive,you end up passing all your bad habits to your kids.I'm sure that ASHI has it's good inspectors like any org. But this is I'm sure you will agree not right [grandfathering].

Yea,

Michael Rowan whored himself out to the members of NACHI after years and years of ASHI and FABI membership. It seems the almighty dollar is more powerful, since he is now a NACHI vendor selling all kinds of inspection related items.

He has steadfastly told anyone who would listen, for years, that an ASHI member is the only one to use for their inspection. Now, when he sees the quantity of NACHI members to sell to, he partners with the org. Apparently, loyalty takes a backseat to profit.

While Nick has trashed ASHI at every conceivable opportunity on this board, Mr. Rowan was nowhere to be found to defend the org. or its members. The only time Mr. Rowan has spoken here was to hawk some vendor related item. Ironic that Nick and Michael would partner after all the rhetoric spewed over the years.

Greed is a powerful bedfellow; draw your own conclusions.
