Thanks to NACHI Members

[Bill C. Merrell, CMI]

Our first course went off without a hitch- I promised to keep fees down and everyone in attendance was very pleased about that. Our prices, like everything else in life will go up, but we will hold the line on prices through the March program in Bohemia, NY.

There are only several school active with approved courses in NY and they are charging considerably high prices. I think to exploit a situation is unfair. That is why I am holding prices down as a benefit to those who still need courses at a fair price.

Happy New Year!

Mr. Merrell

Have you no shame.

Misleading NACHI members to think thay you are a "Licensed Home Inspection School" using a web site www.licensedhomeinspectionschool.com

Shame on you!

Joe Mahr

[David P. Valley]

And all this time I had thought Merrill Institute was a NY State approved school.

I guess not...

Joe Mahr

All of the preceeding does beg the question as to why Mr Mahr, posted what he should know to be false?

Mr Mahr, appears to believe that he has the only licensed home inspection school in New York according to his website:

We offer an intensive 140 hour training program through the only Licensed Home Inspector Training School in the state of New York.

Is it just me or is there a funny smell around this thread?

Regards

Gerry

http://www.merrellinstitute.com/prices.html

These are the programs in NY State and the pricing as reported on the individual web sites- I normally would not list it, but to show proof that I am an approved entity.

I can't believe this is the 3rd round of false statements regarding my approvals on this message board (actually the last 2 were just before the change over!)

The courses are listed legally under one of our approved firm names:
Appraisal Education Network School
1461 Lakeland Avenue
Bohemia, NY 11716
631-563-7720 631-563-7719(Fax)

How about a direct quote?

Mr. Mahr posted this previously.......

"Nick:

As a paid up member of NACHI I would like to have American Building Inspection and Training Co., Inc. listed under the education tab of NACHI.
My training school is the only Licensed Training School approved by the New York State Department of Education. I would very much like the same coverage provided to other schools by NACHI.

Joe Mahr"

And This:

"ABITCO is American Building Inspection and Training Co., Inc. This company has been in the Home Inspection Business for 21 years and has been providing Home Inspector Training since 1995. They have a license to teach Home Inspectors issued by The State University of New York, Bureau of Propritary School Supervision. Check out their web site at www.abitcoinc.com. or contact the DOE web site for confirmation."

Unfortunately for Mr. Mahr, the DOE is not the school licensing authority in NY State for Home Inspector Licensing Training. The Department of State is.

[Nick Gromicko]

Easy big Bill, easy... take some deep breaths. Don't get rattled.

Anyway... thank you for all the work you do for NACHI. See you at the convention Bill!

[Bill C. Merrell, CMI]

No problem here Nick! I know I am approved in NY, and Mr. Mahr knows and New York State lists me as an approved provider and I am an approved instructor, with 4 additional approved instructors.

The only one hurt by all of this are those who may receive misinformation. Always verify the approval status of a school by calling 518-474-4429 or going to their web site, which is listed on this thread multiple times!

See you all at the conference in 2 weeks!
