See you at the meeting. What test are they referring to on page four…is it the nhie?..Looks as if I would be grandfathered in with the availible requirements. That are listed. I have at least 4 inspectors that are part time who have contacted me in the last 6 months “getting in”

I see it calls for mandatory E & O Insurance. That seems very stupid to tie your ability to get a license to your ability to get insurance.

I have it and do not mind it. I believe it will help with the partimers who charge 150.00 per house. This way they will get serious or get out.

- even legislators in my state when asked about this 2 years ago said it was STUPID to tie your ability to get licensed to getting E&O insurance. Several of the legislators that were doctors, lawyers, etc pointed out that even engineers, architects, doctors, lawyers, etc. did not have their ability to get a license tied in to E&O or malpractice insurance.


Several of the insurance carriers also pointed out that claims went up SIGNIFICANTLY in states where this was mandatory. Then the attorneys knew you had it AND what might have been a negotiation was more likely to turn into a full blown lawsuit.

THEN if you got one or 2 frivilous lawsuits filed EITHER you can't get E&O or it goes EVEN higher than it is now AND thats HIGHWAY ROBBERY in many places.

It’s the dang REALTORs. They correctly think that E&O insurance (paid by the inspector) provides them with another layer of protection against negligent referral suits (which it may) but they haven’t thought about the long-term damage of turning over a necessary step in the transaction (that being the home inspection) to an uninterested industry (insurance companies).

Nick,


here is your quote:


“another layer of protection against negligent referral suits (which it may)”


Allen, BRP, FREA and Target all have agent referral indemnity which covers the negligent referral suits you refer too.

Good luck on the E&O issue. Texas does not tie licensing to E&O and there are many Professional Engineers that do not carry it and neither do their firms.

Nick,

I will be there for all 3 days…


As I am speaking on the basics of E&O and Risk Management.
