Real State Companies charging referral fees they call it Concierge List

Here in the liberal land of Lincoln we can do any work on a property we inspect if we choose to. I choose not. It’s a slippery slope.

Not if you are a member of NACHI or ASHI.

As is often the case, this is where things went off course:

Getting back to the original post, it is wrong, plain and simple.

Ethics has nothing to do with the type of inspection your are doing. Ethics are how you run your life. If you are unethical in your work life, odds are pretty good you are unethical in every other aspect of your life as well.

I have never paid any attention to the CoE of this organization or ASHI, because I live by a code of my own.
Do unto others…

Referring to state SOP of course

Has anyone ever been expelled from iNachi for either paying to be on a list or doing work for a fee on an inspected home within 12 months of the inspection?

My guess would be NO. I had a long time A$HI member tell me once, ethics written down is to make an organization look legitimate, not actually be followed. Sad but true.

Sounds to me like a “You pay, you stay” organization with all the loopholes in the ethics. But this is just a local thing here in Florida, right?:—) I don’t do home inspections at all, just home inspection services. So by Bushart’s ethical theory, I can pay brokers, do repairs and run the Nachi name into the ground for others to suffer? I guess we need the government to step in and make more laws as the association has no interest to protect the public (at least here in Florida).

Edit: And for someone to be in such a prominent position to speak for an association such as Nachi to respond with just “Lol”, loses all credibility in my eyes. Why someone like Bushart was put into that position with his attitude is scary for an entire organization.

There ya go Clint, all figgerd out!:mrgreen:

X2.

Just got a call from EWM wanting me to be a sponsor at their 8 day training class. As part of the sponsorship I will be allowed to come in and speak. $500.00.

I guess this is their way of getting around the preferred list. Now it is called a sponsorship>

And here is the speech:Your new Concierge List is unethical and wrong. Thank you and my cards are on the desk!:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Please email me any information on the company. I will put it in my report to the DBPR.
Thanks

No,
It is a sponsorship.
You are actually paying for the Lunch of the Class of 30 - 60 + Agents for their CEU’s.
In exchange for that sponsorship, you are afforded time to give a limited presentation (commercial) to the class.

So you are telling me that Bill is going to pay $500.00, for the privilege of giving a speech and expects nothing in return?

Voice of experience?

Exactly…

Experience teaches you when not to play the game…

Believe me, I am not opting in.

If I am paying someone $500.00 I expect something in return.

But if you are informed of the circumstance and expectation…
Why would you expect more?

I wouldn’t expect anything because I would say no.
See how we came full circle there?:wink:
