If they're all "certifed inspectors", that's about 6% of all the listed INACHI inspectors.** There will be so many inspectors in Onatrio that prices will soon drop as they struggle to stay in business or just to get up and running, especially in this down RE market.

NACHI Brotherhood Motto:

Brothers helping brothers compete against brothers!!!


*You'll have to move to Ontario soon, Nick. There's going to be a lot of unemployed auto industry workers looking for jobs.......maybe you can turn them all into HI's!!

** Remember the membership......errrr... vendor customers' list has to be kept large so the merry-go-round keeps turning.....on for a year or two.....then have to jump off!!
Public posts from a frequent member poster yesterday:
"NACHI has changed and is changing fast. Is NACHI changes good or bad. Time will tell. But sometimes this merry-go-round makes me sick."


"What in the heck went on in the last couple days? A lot of off the wall stuff has happened."

Here's part of an Email I received from a former member a few days ago:
"NACHI is not helping the new Inspector when they convince them they can do inspections tomorrow.
NACHI is just sell sell and sell some more to the Newbies
It breaks my heart to see so many put in much time and money when 90% are gone in about three years"

ASHI Brotherhood Motto:
Charge newbie inspectors to ride along with an old has been ASHI inspector.

Brothers making money off of the back of another brother!!!

The reality is the current market is not supporting the large number of home inspectors. Therefore prices are dropping, as well as the number of inspectors and inspections.

But, Claude, you don't understand!! Nick has got to keep finding "Newbies" to make his system work. He can't disappoint the vendors!! Maybe he's going for a bailout!!

Remember, this is Nick's show......for Nick.....not the members that come.......and then have to go!!!

[Nick Gromicko]

Brian, you are incorrect again. Not only can we disappoint vendors... we are one of the only trade associations on earth that doesn't accept money from vendors.

We are totally free from vendor influence. What association do you belong to that refuses to accept vendor $$?

It's all in the way you look at it, Nick. The vendors help keep NACHI going in many ways without paying you........ through sponsoring/co-spnsoring NACHI events, in a past thread you mentioned printing services provided by Prolab, donations of freebie giveways (the bought loyalty syndrome) and however many ways I would never know. Since it's a closed and very private management, no one but you and your accountant really know the finances but .......no one is going to believe there isn't a big personal pay off for yourself, family, trust, foundation, etc!!!!

Methinks he doth protest too much!!!

The truth still lies in the following statement:

Remember, this is Nick's show......for Nick.....not the members that come.......and then have to go!!! (aka the merry-go-round syndrome!!)

[Nick Gromicko]

I'll take that to mean that you can't name one.

Brian, Why not join and take advantage of the goodies offered rather then being a downer and ********.
The Vendors give INACHI the offers because we are the largest organization and they see an oppotunity to recieve more if they give more. Good business practice. If that helps keep NACHI going then great for all of us. Whats the problem?
Just my 2 cents

Brian, the vendors don't give me SQUAT! They give it all to InterNACHI members... not me.

I have no use for it. I'm not even an inspector.
