National Association of Certified Home InspectorsInterNACHI now provides professional e-mail aliases to each of its members. These state-specific e-mail accounts give members a professional e-mail address to advertise. Rather than something like johninspector28674@aol.com, members can now use an address similar to jinspector@ny.nachi.org. The address automatically forwards to the e-mail address you've provided to InterNACHI.
"We find that many members use their personal e-mail address for business," said Chris Morrell, Director of Information Technology at InterNACHI. "Though their address may be difficult to remember (and often look somewhat unprofessional), members don't want to check multiple mailboxes. By offering a professional address that points directly to our members' personal e-mail account, we provide a clean, marketable e-mail address without any additional hassle."
As part of a larger, realtor-focused mega-site, InterNACHI plans to offer an e-mail service to real estate agents. "We hope to offer a full webmail package to agents that will interface the 'find an inspector' service with their address book," continued Morrell. "This is one of many new systems to help agents find InterNACHI members."
