Coming soon: NACHI plans to announce an exclusive agreement with one of the nation's largest real estate franchises to put our FindAnInspector.US link on all their websites.
When it's done, it will be great for all of us. Are we close? Any update?

You can do it too by explaining to the broker/owner of your local real estate office that he/she should use you exclusively because your NACHI pre-inspection agreement covers the agents. In it your client agrees that a real estate agent is just a sales person and to hold the agents harmless.
Email me at nick.gromicko@nachi.org if you want a copy of this language for your attorney's review. You can then add it to your own pre-inspection agreement.
Also, NACHI attorney Joe Ferry & I are meeting Monday morning to finish up our NACHI arbitration service (dispute arbitration for NACHI members). This helps get us bigger E&O discounts.
It's all coming together.
Nick
PS It is correct that I do not visit the members-only section of this message board unless specifically asked to.

I should note also that I do not visit the Members Only section, either, and would need a special dispensation from the Grand High Exalted Mystic Leader to do so since I am not a member.

post, not to mention the work that you have done on the arbitration issue should merit a pro bono membership. I get the impression that your advise to this organization and its members is going to be indispensable.

One would think that the NACHI attorney would automatically be a NACHI Member.
If not, an honorarium should be given to him. If that doesn't fit the bill how about a key to the back door. No doubt, that in the future, there will be matters that the members should be kept privately informed of and participate in.

Thanks for posting Joe. I can make you an honorary member, but with you being both a REALTOR and our attorney, I wouldn’t want you to start doing inspections too.

Nor would anyone else. Curiously, my father could - and often did - take our house apart and put it back together again on his weekends off. The Budd Company used to borrow tools from him. A real handyman. Me? I’m a, what, foot-yman? I know the telephone number of the plumber.
