Kaela,
Mostly driving today but as soon as things slow down, I’m gonna hit this course wide open. Some other’s may not enjoy all of the learning that InterNACHI has to offer but I absolutely love it (especially the courses that really make you think).
Thank you all for everything that you do for InterNACHI members. It’s truly a blessing to belong to such a great association.

Michael,
Thank you for your kind words and dedication to self-improvement and knowledge. It takes a great deal of effort to make these courses look effortless and we always love to hear that inspectors like yourself find them valuable and worthwhile. I personally learned a lot from this video so I think you’ll really enjoy it.

I passed the 1st time with a 95. I did really enjoy it. I’m going to watch it a few more times with my Pre-Inspection agreement infront of me.
Please keep courses like these coming.

The vague report and comments in briefing a client can lead to problems. But so to can direct communication. I have learned or seen it best to walk a fine line between giving clear communication and direct findings while speaking a little as possible. We once joked about a pig that lived next door, and that joke led to the buyer backing out, because he didn't want to live next to a pig. Well that was too much info in that case.

I recently inspected a home where the seller was present. The house was neat as a pin. Everything was accessible and immaculately clean. On my way out, I thanked the seller for allowing me access to the home, and I casually stated the house was a pleasure to inspect. (which it was despite its 20-something defects)
Fast forward a few days, my client called and told me that the seller refused to address any of the repairs because the home inspector said, “The house was a pleasure to inspect.”
Best of luck to everyone navigating the minefields.
