Oh, c’mon. It’s Nick and it’s a “benefit”. What do you expect?
There was the time that NACHI was “teaming” with an adolescent lead broker who, in exchange for private personal data about their customers, the lead broker would turn “hungry home inspectors” into “successful” millionaires while inspectors who rejected his scams were doomed to be “failures”. Yes, that turned out pretty bad for the kid and his groupies … but not as bad as the time that NACHI “teamed” up with an E&O insurance salesman who collected premiums from home inspectors without a valid license to sell insurance - and without actually providing insurance coverage - and ultimately ended up serving time in federal prison for insurance fraud.
Yes, these were all “benefits”. They truly were. The question that members must always ask when evaluating a NACHI “benefit” is … who is it that really benefits from the “benefit”. Sometimes the answer will surprise you.
