Still the Dick, eh Danny Boy?
It’s time that all of us take our collective heads out of our asses, including you DH, and realize that we have been made pawns in all of this.
Until we, as professional inspectors, band together and put a lot of association chest-pounding temporarily on the back burner, we will forever be foraging for crumbs in the RE transaction. If a home sells for $400,000, and the buyers agent gets around 1%, that’s $4000. The lawyer gets around $800. The home inspector has the highest liability, is put under the most pressure, is the go-to guy, and the everyman. In the end, we typically earn less than 1/10th of 1% of the transaction for our trouble.
What’s wrong with this picture? We are the MOST IMPORTANT PLAYER in the transaction. Yet, we are treated worse than a bastard step-child. Some association “leaders” are kissing the asses of NAR players, and all for CONTROL. Same goes for licensing. It has NEVER helped the inspector. It has NEVER really helped the consumer. There was NEVER quantifiable data justifying the bogus claims at how ordinary people need to be protected from the big, bad, home inspector. We are still pawns.
We all need to ****ing wake up.
**Yep, a hu, got you joe.:roll: :roll: Hope I didn’t tick you off tonight :twisted: :twisted: **
All need to team together, yea right, impossible when you have one group certifing inspectors for a ck. the other requires proof of experience and taking a proctored exam.
Ain’t gonna happen in the real world.
Licensing does work if inspectors work together, it will not when one org wants no requirements the other wants at least some.
Who said lic doesn’t work besides members in your org?
The few naysayers in other orgs band together with other inspectors reguardless of org affiliation to make it work, i****nstead of spredding lies and BS about other orgs, and other org inspectors on an open bb.
If lic and enforcement didn’t work, one nickey certified only inspector would be still practicing in Washington state, there are hundreds more in other states with out license requirements that nobody has a clue of their qualificiations.
Now go ahead and tell us how ****ing busy you are. What a chump.
19 on the books to do, 2 of them referrals from local members that were to busy to do them… :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: You ?
