Asked and answered. I don't take a penny from vendors or anyone else in the inspection industry.

Now Brian, will you be apologizing or not?

I can honestly say that Nick Gromicko has never accepted a dime from me. I have offered him up front cash and back end residual income. All Nick cares about is his men in the field and that they get the best, genuine opportunities available. His heart is 100% in it for the InterNACHI Home Inspectors and their well being. Nick has personally blessed me and my family’s life forever for the better. I am honored to be in his circle of friends. Don’t believe all this Bull**** about Nick taking kickbacks from any Vendors. It’s the farthest from the truth.

To add to Bill's post...

-Inspector's Quarterly did not charge him for his ad.

BTW Bill... Funny commercial http://www.nachi.tv/users/bjanis/videos/15 I love it!

I joined NACHI several years ago at the invitation of Nick Gromicko after quitting NAHI. At that time, I sent something like forty articles to Nick who promply not only published them but encouraged me to combine many of them in what was to become two books sold by me for profit, Inspect and Protect and Manual for a Happy Home. As a business man, I wanted to pay a royalty to Nick or NACHI, which he not only adamantly refused but paid for several thousand copies in advance to give away to inspectors. In fact, he thought that my books were of sufficient value that he posted one on the InterNACHI home page, for which I have never paid. I should hasten to point out that at the time I joined NACHI, I was also a vendor and the co-owner of Porter Valley Software (PVS). Nick allowed PVS, as I assume he allows all vendors, to post on the message board, and to sell software at conferences and chapter meetings. I offered him royalties on sales, but once again he refused my offers as he had with my books, and encouraged me to continue to serve the membership. For this reason, as I'm sure most members are aware, I never attempted to sell my goods, but rather demonstrated them and allowed the free enterprise system to work in the market place as it should. This is a fact that my competitors, like Russel Buchanan of Home Gauge can confirm. Significantly, Nick continues to refer to inspectors as "my guys," as though they were family, and I've regularly heard him ask of vendors and others who came to him hat-in-hand, "what can you do for my guys?" These are not the words or actions of a mercenary, but a man who has single-handly revolutionized an industry and served an extended family of inspectors, and I do not expect to meet any one quite like him again. What Nick considered to be my honesty and good deeds were rewarded when he asked me to be NACHI's Vice-President, which is not a position that I wanted, and my opinion of Nick is not politically motivated. I have stated in print, and on many occassions, that Nick Gromicko "has done more for inspectors than other individual in the history of the inspection industry," and I still believe that to be the truth. I do not always agree with him, but I know for a fact that he cannot be bought, and that I will continue to show him the respect that he deserves. He is a remarkable individual.

So are you Keith. Thank you.

Nick,

Sorry about the accusations by Brian. I wouldn't claim to know a thing about any of that.

I originally posted a reply because the article stated nothing of discounts. It just stated "perform allergen inspection" and went on to mention how homeowners could perform the tests themselves. I understand how the NACHI exposure beats nothing, but what I read informed me of more competition that I would be no way associated with.

I currently pay $80 for my dust check devices. That includes the report, and an analytical review by a specialist. It would be ideal for us to be recommended testers, and hopefully our partnership with them encourages that.

[Russell Buchanan]

Is this a eulogy thread ? (Nick I was saving this for when you die), but I just want to say that my close association with InterNACHI is due in large part because Nick promotes InterNACHIGauge and HomeGauge all the time for free. I do pay occasionally for a sponsorship (Toronto Convention) and I did pay for the Full Page ad in the INACHI newspaper (discounted even) but that is no different than the $ I spend at all the other orgs. I get way more bang for my buck with InterNACHI than I have with the other orgs (I invite other orgs to learn from this promotion).That is because Nick will promote you if you promote INACHI. He has never asked nor have I offered to give him anything. A good marketeer knows that relationships pays off more than cash now. Every so often he does ask me for a free license or free Website to give away to his members. But that benefits his lucky members who gets the best software and services free from InterNACHI.....

InterNACHIGauge software and Services

Brian,

The more you dig...the deeper you get. Give it up, you are way over your head as it is. Just apologize to Nick and move on!

BTW I guess your old Volvo will have to be your ride for the next 5 or so years! Too funny!

[Peter Doane]

I'm not a vendor but a home inspector with a great judge of character,.. Having met Nick personally, at various ITA conventions in Vegas I can tell you everything he does is with the INACHI members interest at heart,.. he bends over back wards for the INACHI membership, I've personally witnessed and have been recipient of his generosity as a member for many years of INACHI. Brian, isn't it nice that Nick allows you to bad mouth him on his message board,.. if that doesn't say anything about his character,.. I don't know what does.

Nothing like completely getting off the original subject. Thanks Brian
