Seeking Apprenticeship in DFW

Hi Everyone!

I live in DFW and I am seeking an inspector willing to take on an apprentice. I present unique situation. I am currently a home appraiser trainee, as well as an airline pilot. The home appraiser business is slow, and the licensing requirements are becoming such that it is unlikely that I will ever become a license appraiser at the rate that I’m assisting my sponsor with appraisals. I don’t have a formal education or experience in construction, however, I’m technically minded and I’m eager to learn.

Here is the unique situation. I have no desire to start my own home inspection business in the future. I simply don’t have the time to run a business (well) and do my other job. That being said, I typically have 15 days off to dedicate to home inspections and I’m willing to work very hard on my days off.

So if you’re looking to take on a apprentice and ultimately a employee, please message me or email me at txpoulton@gmail.com

Thanks for your time everyone.

Hey Andy,

I am in the same boat as you. Did you have any luck?

Andy and Sheldon, contact some CMIs or CPIs within 40 to 50 miles, or closer, to your area and communicate with them. Maybe one, or more, will help you. Some inspectors feel as though they are training their competition by ride-alongs or mentoring or hiring.

Here is the link for CMIs: Find a Certified Master Inspector®

And the link for CPIs: Find Certified Home Inspectors Near You - InterNACHI®

And Mentors: https://www.nachi.org/mentoring and https://www.nachi.org/my/mentoring

Also, you may want to take advantage of your Education Team at education@internachi.org for specific questions e.g. 15 Steps to Become a Successful Home Inspector - InterNACHI® and InterNACHI® Master Class for Home Inspectors .

P.S. Welcome to our forum. Enjoy!
