If he did a fee-paid residential inspection operating as a home inspector he must be state certified as a HI, with a certrification number that begins with HI and must be presented to the client prior to an inspection. Being a C/GBR/C does not cover it since 6/1/2011
OK?

I am not sure but I think if he called it a home inspection and presented it as such he would need a home inspection license. I believe that Florida Licensed Division One General Contractors would automatically meet the requirements to be a home inspector but to sell a "Home Inspection" one must be a licensed home inspector. I personally think that sucks but I do believe that is the law.

Illegal. He is supposed to have a home inspector's license.

[Eric C. Van De Ven]

He is a GC....he can do what ever he wants.....................
He may have called it an evaluation for bids on work in which case, it could be legal.

If he is doing WDO inspections, he has to be employed by a pest control company and at least have an ID card.

He is listed with ASHI as a home Inspector.. But not licensed. Which i find funny! Unlicensed doing home inspections... member of THE GROUP/Holy "ASHI" I had agent the other day ask if I was a member of ASHI. I said I am licensed by the state. She had no idea the there was such a thing!

[Steven Taylor]

Even ASHI's Code of Ethics prohibit offering repairs on homes that you inspect. So- if he is an ASHI member and offering repairs on homes that he inspects, that would be a violation of their COE.

He must be a state certified home inspector and it has been made easy for C/GBR/C to do this as they are still grandfathered in until 7/1/2012. All they need is to give the sate the monies for licensing. Of course you knew there was going to be money involved. The state wants their $330.

[Robert Quigley]

He is not .. I checked. Don't no where or who he works for on the termite. Either way interesting! He is not one on the 500 in the pine las area

West coast of Florida no different than East Coast

Mike Landry is a really nice guy and he’s been performing home inspections for years. Many Realtors think he's the "best" home inspector in Naples.
Was on a job this week that he was doing the home inspection.

If you required them to know how to drive first some group would just have the rest grandfathered in or change the requirements so anyone can get a license.



About 250 mold assessors in Collier and Lee Counties and only about a dozen would qualify for a license today without grandfathering.


Been another great year, hope everyone has a great Christmas, one job in Ft Myers this morning and we are done.
