Hello, and thanks for taking the time to read this…


I am located in St. Louis Missouri and am a member of the Union Carpenters in St. Louis for abut 10 years now. I am very interested in becoming a home inspector for a few reasons; extra money, interesting career and a lil less physical exertion as I do commercial foundations.

I have friends in the real estate business, one of them being an owner of a mortgage company, and he pointed me in this direction. I came across NACHI's website last night and looked around. I searched through Google in regard to becoming a home inspector and NACHI was about the most complete site I could find.

I took the 120 question test last night, never having took a class in this field and passed with a score of 83.

I look and look around this site as to any type of education requirements needed to become a member other then doing the NACHI test, the code of ethics etc. All I see in regard to education is the fact that one has to complete continuing education once a member.

Is there a course I need to take previous to becoming a member of NACHI? Is there something else I need to do to become a home inspector other then completing the steps outlined by NACHI?

Any help from anybody in this matter will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks ahead of time,
Bob

No, not before joining. Look on the left side of the page, “join today”. I took a 40 hr. Home Inspection course before joining. That’s where I herd about NACHI. Learned more since I joined by just reading this board, than I did in class.

Bob,


I received your email last night and attempted to reply, but it was returned to me. The return email address was : <joecreter@charter.net>

Email me with a good address and I will fill you in on what our chapter is up to.
