Glitch Bill is in! 3 ways to get a Florida Home Inspectors License.

This amendment will legally sanction contractor/home inspectors to offer loss leader home inspections and then make up the fee on the back end with repair work.

I really wonder if this will be a problem, we have many contractor/home inspectors doing repairs such as new roofs, pool cages, radon mitigation etc and they charge the same as the other local home inspectors. Some are NACHI members and some are not but most belong to a national home inspector assoc. I agree it is unethical, but it has been going on for years here in SW FL.

Guess we will find out.

It may in fact be going on now. The difference being that this provision in Rep. Workmans' bill HB 713 will legally sanction that activity when all professional inspector associations as well as most all other states that have home inspectors licensing laws specifically prohibit repairs by inspectors on the same home that they inspect due to the obvious potential for a conflict. If these contractor/inspectors you speak of are members of NACHI or any other professional association and are offering repairs on homes that they inspect, then they are violating ethics standards that they have agreed to abide by and should be reported to their respective associations.

Seems like that should be done; but I'll let the NACHI inspectors in Bonita Springs and Naples do that. I've got no skin in the game as they say.
