Warning to Consumers:


Unlike other home inspection associations, InterNACHI front-ends many of its membership requirements and requires that its members take many others soon after joining.  In other words, all of our members must fulfill membership requirements before they can apply for membership. Other associations have little or no entrance requirements and encourage their members and associates to go out and perform hundreds of unqualified inspections for poor, unsuspecting consumers.
