All I have to say is WOW!!!

You ought to see their logo.

CMI has been attracting a lot of interest from commercial inspectors. Commercial property inspectors are not licensed in any State or Province. You heard right. You need a license to inspect a 1 bedroom condo in many states, but no license to inspect a 300 unit condominium in that same state.

[mellison (Mark Ellison, CMI)]

I guess it’s 366 CMI’s now. Thanks for your quick response Nick.

[gromicko (Nick Gromicko, CMI)]

Welcome Mark! We processed your application today. You are an Amerispec inspector in Ontario, no?

Also, is it Amerispec or AmeriSpec?

[krunquist (Keith Runquist)]

Welcome Mark. Say hi to Roger.

Yes Nick, in and around the Toronto area. I work for one of the larger franchises. Nice to be CMI, CMHI is next. Just have to make the time for the field peering. Bloody busy for a January.

Thanks again!

Welcome Mark. Say hi to Roger.

Will do Keith, thanks. How do you know Roger?

[krunquist (Keith Runquist)]

Mostly by reputation but I’m pretty sure I met him at one of the conventions. May be wrong on that. I’m with Amerispec also.

@ccurrins

There is not an Amerispec franchise listed in Oak Park IL., which is the address the guy Linas is referring to is using and he is not listed as being licensed in IL. either.

Maybe CMI’s don’t have to be licensed home inspectors in Illinois.
Maybe his vacuum cleaner serial numbers were verified.:mrgreen:

They don’t have to be licensed… unless they are doing home inspections. Commercial inspectors are not licensed in Illinois, or any other state.

Does someone have to **currently **be performing home inspections, to be a CMI ? When did he become a CMI? Maybe he moved away from HI’s. Since he (allegedly) qualified and earned the CMI status, does he lose the status if he does not currently perform HI’s???

[ccurrins (Christopher Currins, CMI)]

How is this Amerispecin any way, commercial or other, related to a CMI?

[mcyr (Marcel Cyr, CMI)]

Good question for John. All we got to go by is this; http://www.certifiedmasterinspector.org/cmi/apply.htm:)

Once a CMI has earned his designation, it is not taken away.
It is an education/experience designation that is not taken
away if you retire, change professions or limited by any
association you belong to.

Thank you.

[mellison (Mark Ellison, CMI)]

It says Amerspec, not AmerIspec

[jmckenna1 (John McKenna, CMI)]

I know of several TREC inspectors who now only do mold remediation.
They have the hours and experience to be CMI and yet do no home inspections.
How many building related inspectors are there? How many paths have
people come to arrive at their present profession.

Several states accept some of the same types of proof, to apply for an
inspectors license, when verifying past experience.

CMI’s must provide one of the following and submit to a criminal back ground
check, along with several other requirements.

http://www.certifiedmasterinspector.org/cmi/apply.htm

a. a copy of your government-issued inspector’s license demonstrating that you were an inspector as of three or more years ago; or

b. a copy of your business license demonstrating that you were an inspector as of three or more years ago; or

c. evidence that demonstrates that you were a member of an inspection association as of three or more years ago; or

d. a copy of the first page of your inspection business federal tax return from three or more years ago; or

e. a copy of a DBA document demonstrating that you were an inspector as of three or more years ago; or

f. three signed letters from business people or past clients stating that you were an inspector as of three or more years ago.

Forget the price…

[size=2]Structural evaluations?

We dont perform structural evaluations.

Our SOP does not cover structural EVALUATIONS.[/size]

Most people don’t follow our SOP. You know that Joe.

Check out this CMI’s prices.

Looks like this HI knows what his inspections are worth. You would think a CMI would be at the top of the price range. I wonder how cheap he would be if he was a regular old HI.
