NYS State has several methods for opening a business entity, one is a simple corporate, another is an ed corp, and others include partnership LLC's etc. If you were a New Yorker, you would have known that. NY also permits foreign Corps to exist in NY. But that starts a lesson on corporations and business entities in New York. Not part of this thread. Your question has nothing to do with the context requesting an extension for Licensing in New York State for Appraisers. Seem outside of the scope of the discussion- This ends further conversation on this thread- All messages and replies to your communication with be withdrawn by me if it does not directly involve the initial topic. |

You decided to personally attack me. Why, don't know, don;t care and don't plan on attempting to learn your motives- If it is not part of the original thread, it was deleted- with the words deleted listed to make sure the topic did not deviate. I was tod that these posts take on a life of their own and if something is posted it should stay on topic. That is why I deleted anything that was not on topic with my original posting. Have a great day. |

NYS: Still No Application for Home Inspectors! NACHI Forum Index -> State Legislation View previous topic :: View next topic Author Message Bill Merrell Merrell Institute User: bmerrell NACHI Member: Yes Location: Bohemia, NY Posts: 61 Posted: Fri, Aug 26th, 2:51 AM Post subject: NYS: Still No Application for Home Inspectors! I hope the application comes out soon for Home Inspectors. It would be a very serious situation if Home Inspectors were unable to make a living if there are items in the application which a seasoned Home Inspector must comply with, with added education, experience etc. It is everyone's hope that the applications will be forthcoming shortly. Also the schools have to be granted approval for their courses. Until there is a true approval, no one can say for sure what will and won't be accepted. Nick wrote in his article that NYS said there may be a grace period after 12-31-05. I hope so, but no one from NYS will give me a written letter confirming or denying this. They don't even have a list at present for those who wish to receive an application when it becomes available...originally June, now Sept, 2005. Let's see if the application is available 09-05. I know the state is still working on it, as of yesterday it was not in print! As an educator, I want to make sure that all courses offered are approved. Until then, we will only offer an Introductory course for those who are considering the field. Other schools may go ahead and proceed with one hundred plus hours of education. What if the education is not approved. Our school will take a conservative approach and wait until the approval process for education becomes a reality. That is why we are only offering an initial Introductory course.

The bill that has already been signed into law has been enthusiastically received by some and simply accepted by others. The infrastructure in implementing it is in the process of development. No strong movement to oppose it has been made a matter for record until your posts.

Unique ID: 2AE1-D8-18B3D6 Back to top Bill Merrell Merrell Institute User: bmerrell NACHI Member: Yes Location: Bohemia, NY Posts: 61 Posted: Fri, Sep 2nd, 10:35 PM Post subject: Resume Do you require a resume which includes items other than an educational nature, which has already been submitted to the education committee, 1 month ago. I own the firm, New York Inspection Services, and even though I do not actively perform inspections due to my disability, I am involved and review each and every inspection my firm completes. What I don't understand is the simple fact is that NACHI members with more than 100 inspectors do NOT need 2 years experience and therefore they do NOT need education. If my motives were that of a school why am I advocating NOT needing additional education. Ask Len if what I am saying is true!- allaround@optonline.net Ask the other 60 people in attendance if I even solicited my school once. The answer is NO. I don't think experienced people need added education, they need a license, and although you may not know it, I have been working with GORR (Governors Office on Regulatory Reform) and NYS, DOS (Dept. of State). I have also been working with Dearborne Publishing (Carlson Dunlop Series-which I own the entire curriculum including all videos, cd-roms, power point presentations and 4,000 pages of manuals) Thomsons (owner of Prentice hall and Computaught) Both will confirm my involvement for more than 3 years to date. The fact that my involvement was as a citizen shouldn't upset anyone. It should be considered refreshing! The law should allow a transition and a phase in. With 118 days to go, we will be jumping around to even get an application to become licensed...which presently is not available. That would be a good first step!

Is that your personal opinion. We are not talking about growing old, we are talking about a life altering disability which I am managing quite well- thanks for asking. I hope that you never experience such a situation and then have someone treat you in this fashion. Again, no good deed goes unpunished. It wasn't long ago that a disability was called a handicap, simply because persons who were injured and could no longer support themselves begged to support themselves and their families. They had their cap in their hands and thus hand in cappers came to existence. Sounds very demeaning. I hope this is not your intent.

I am not offering advanced course, and will not until NY State sets forth an outline to follow. I have the draft and there is alot of work ahead of them. Will I assist newbies to become Inspectors next year and also recommend them to NACHI. Yes. What is wrong with that? These are individuals I recruit, market, advertise and then, when they become licensed, under a new set of rules, I would recommend NACHI membership to them. The delay of the law will cost schools money in fees, but it will help the profession. Any many educators agree with this observation.

When asked if you were a full time home inspector, you said "No". Now, you are claiming that no one ever asked you and that I am exploiting your handicap to say that you are not.

Would you be kind enough to expound upon these entities and how they may be checked? Also, the school in which you received your doctorate, known as "Western University" has been difficult to identify. The closest I was able to come to is a school that was Western University but is now known as Kennedy-Western University that was founded in 1984. They provide phDs to their students in "as little as 12 months with no class room time". Perhaps you can help with that, too. http://kw.edu/default.asp
