Will, I liked your earlier post, where you said:

If the housing market is strong in Caracas, maybe I’ll stay there and join INTERNACHI.
-Lost points again for not "taking advantage" of full (or for that matter, any) membership in another organization. Spent the $500.00 on marketing the business. PENALTY.
-Not being a Canadian (does it count if one of your Aunts and your fiancee's mother are Canadian?), lost a few more points by not joining CAPHI/OAHI. I'm looking into dual citizenship as we speak.
-Clean vehicle, in good repair? I just did the lower ball joints on the 83,000 mile Blazer, and I wash the exterior five or six times a year whether it needs it or not. As far as the vehicle's interior, well...frankly, I've seen more appealing latrines in college sorority houses. Sorry, been busy.
-43 1/2 years old. It would appear that I've once again lost a few points for being middle-aged as opposed to say, OLD. Still scratching my head to see what I can do about that one. If I add my two partner's ages (50 and 53), I'd have a raw input of 146.5. That would help, I think.
In the meantime, can we look into a JVCMI (Jr. Varsity Certified Master Inspector) or CMIIT (Certified Master Inspector In-Training) designation??

The quantity of inspections one has performed in their career is a biggie, points wise.

to the profession.
Toward attempting to determine commitment, one can factor in any expenditure which is solely associated with the inspector's profession. E&O is one of the largest expenditures a home inspector can make... maybe even the largest. Does an E&O policy make you a better inspector??? Nope... no more than a truck decal does. But it does indicate a commitment to the profession.

Yah, but it max's out at 3000.

The reasoning behind maxing it out at 3,000 is that an inspector probably gets dramatically better between inspection 1 and 100, but not between inspection 3001 and 3101.

I would like to think that most inspectors get a little better at some aspect of the job with every inspection, no matter if it’s # 2 or # 4000 ie. customer relations, report writing, dealing with Realtors and home owners etc.
Today I learned that it is not always a good thing when there is not a Realtor involved.
Seller and client are good friends, but by the end of my walk through I left them arguing in the driveway about fixing the AC.
Hmmmm, how could I have prevented myself from getting in the middle of this?
I decided that regardless of the situation I will try my best to give my "end of inspection speech" to the client only.
Now my problem is, how do I get my client alone without offending my client and his good friend the seller?

". If there’s someone on our tail as I commence the walkthrough, I turn and politely tell them, “I would like to speak with my client alone, please”. And they simply meander off somewhere else.
I don't discuss anything to anyone except my client, ALONE.
I think you learned something from this, ayyy?
