The premier source for home inspection news and information. Whether you're a homebuyer or a licensed home inspector, you'll find valuable insight on the world of home inspection training and competency on this blog.
There's an old saying that it takes a village to raise a child. Well, if we apply this wisdom to certified home inspectors, then we might say it takes a trade association to make a home inspector successful. Licensed home inspectors who take the lone ranger approach to their business, more than likely will find home inspection jobs drying up. Like so many other instances in life, when people with similar interests band together, they tend to enjoy more advantages than those who remain alone.
Home inspection is now a well-established and growing profession, with trade associations like the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI), the National Association of Home Inspectors (NAHI) and the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), to name a few, providing resources, services and directories.
A quick look at NACHI's benefit, for example, illustrates the kinds of tools and resources available to home inspectors when they join an industry association. NACHI members receive:
- Discounts on Errors and Omissions Insurance
- Group health insurance
- A listing in the North American Directory of Inspectors
- A variety of free continuing ed courses
- Use of NACHI logos for marketing

Before you sign up for home inspection training, find out if the home inspection school provides you with free or discounted memberships to one of the many good home inspection trade associations. After you finish your home inspection course, you'll want to get to know as much as you can about your new industry.
