Dale, if any of those association logos are ASHI, removing them will increase your business. We’ve sent every REALTOR in the U.S. an email with a link to the diploma mill’s 35 second, online application, http://www.homeinspector.org/join/application/default.aspx showing that they are a diploma mill and offering to pay them to join for fun.
We send out 1,000 times more ASHI appliations than ASHI does.
And before anyone goes off with the “association-bashing” complaint… we have a duty to the public to expose diploma mills in our industry, so don’t go there. We offer no opinion in the email blasts, ASHI’s total lack of entrance requirements says it all.
Smart agents and consumers avoid inspectors who display known diploma mill logos.
I have a free NACHI membership (member of the year), I didn’t say I was turning in anything, I said I will take off all the logos and see if my business dwindles…OK?
Where in Gods name could you POSSIBLY laugh so hard after a hard day, easy answer, go to this message board, the same people are here, day in, day out, arguing about some of the most bizarre things I ever heard of, actually, it brightens my day.
Will see when I have all the logos removed tomorrow, Homegauge is my webmaster, I cannot edit my sites, I have had them so long, when they made them, the editable ones were not available.
