Seeking ride alongs for new mexico licensure

Hi there. I’m looking for licensed inspectors in Northern New Mexico who will let me do parallel inspections to complete my licensure. I’ve been cold calling and emailing but any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve got 15+ years experience in the trades, have great client rapport, and won’t get in the way or do anything stupid! Help a sister out!

Rose, you may want to contact some CMIs or CPIs within 80 to 100 miles, or so, to your area and communicate with them. Maybe one, or more, will help you. Also, some inspectors feel as though they are training their competition by ride-alongs or mentoring or hiring and some are into it just for the $.

Here is the link for CMIs: https://certifiedmasterinspector.org/members

And the link for CPIs: https://www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors

And Mentors: https://www.nachi.org/mentoring and InterNACHI® - International Association of Certified Home Inspectors and https://ccpia.org/commercial-property-inspector-mentoring/ and https://ccpia.org/find-a-mentor/
