Thanks for all of the compliments, guys.
Igor and Mike, I agree with both of you: use of the word "best" or even "good" indicates that there must be some basis for comparison... how do you gauge best against worst in a single point statement?
I think that the statement needs to express that a NACHI certified inspector is beyond compare, so the descriptor should be one that explains what sets a NACHI certified inspector apart, and should be free of any kind of value judgment.
In this case, to describe the
inspection, we need to describe the
inspector, so words like comprehensive, professional, complete, accurate, rigorous, demanding, etc. are appropriate.
Now... back to the "patty cake" portion of the thread. I purposely omitted direct reference to inspectors that belong to other organizations, doing so risks giving the impression that NACHI tries look good at the expense of others.
I also omitted any reference to the possibility of bad or inadequate advice from a realtor- homebuyers can develop a meaningful relationship with their realtor, the suggestion that someone that the buyer has learned to trust could steer the client wrong can create conflict and turn people off.
As always, thanks for all the great information on the board!
