Ralph, Sometime short answers aren’t enough. I want to add that my goal is to have a strong network of certified inspectors nationally. I’m focusing on InterNACHI members first. While I’m not offering exclusives , we want a few good resellers doing volume in a region that we can support by linking with our social media and PR campaigns. The home inspector reseller network is important to us strategically in our marketing plan because you see the prime customer for our product at the right time and place to make the sale. It sounds like a good product…I CAN SELL IT…
You also are marketing your services to the two other primary audiences for the report: home owners (whether listing their home or not), and home seekers.
Regarding real estate agents, this is not a vertical we are focusing on initially. We believe home inspectors offer a stronger channel for our product.** (Then why would the client buy from ME and not the RE agent?)** The RE agent and the NACHI member pays you the same amount…but I will charge more to the client…
I can understand the appeal of being exclusive to you,
IMO- You have this backwards…This should be EXCLUSIVE to Home Inspectors only. If the results are not what you expected, then open it up to other channels.
but as a new company we need to see how well InterNACHI inspectors embrace the program and perform first. Then take off the handcuffs.
This product is challenging traditional home buying transparency so we need to see how the market reacts. We’re looking for feedback from our InterNACHI resellers to help us with our decisions.
I hope this better explains our position. We hope to see you register and give it a try. There is no risk and you can opt out at any time. http://internachi.homeclue.com
If not, I’d like to hear from you why you wouldn’t be interested.

The way it is written now, I feel I’m again competing with the RE agents.

Yep… just one of many reasons why we are extremely cautious and skeptical of the numerous vendors that show up on the MB and pretend to be our buddies with the best offerings the Inspection Profession has ever seen or heard. Most of them are fly-by-night scammers, who love to purport how they are the Saviors going to revolutionize everyones business.
Just a bunch of Hooey!

For me personally, they all fall under that category.
