Looks like Kansas has purged their site at the end of the year for inspectors that dropped out or ???
They had 4 pages of inspectors (50 names to a page), about 190 inspectors.
Looks like now they’ve got 3 pages and about 146 +/-
At $200 each a year, looks like the State of Kansas will have to cut it’s budget further. How they operate this “department” on $30K a year, when half goes to the accounting firm, is beyond me. Why these laws are even needed, when you cannot enforce them, is senseless. New Governor Brownback should take notice of several of these organizations in Kansas that are simply not needed.
Licensing solves nothing!
You are missing the point! They lobbyist were right the new Kansas HI law have cleaned up the industry. I’m sure the inspectors missing from the roles are the ones that were always refereed to as the shoddy sleazy inspectors that killed the deals.
It may be having the opposite effect. I know of several good, veteran inspectors who have done thousands of inspections who themselves just got tired of not getting any business, and did not renew. They are now buying and rehabbing homes, doing repairs, and other ventures. The home inspection industry is not what it used to be. Agent associations funded home inspection laws and got them, all to put veteran inspectors out of business. They now suggest their own cheap, basic report-writing, Kansas SOP only home inspectors.
I have been doing this for over 10 years, and January 2011 will be my worse month since I started my business. It is all sad for the consumers.
