One of the reasons we recently updated the www.nachi.org/chaptersites.htm system to include a listing of local members is to facilitate this project. Remember… no matter how far away you live from a NACHI Chapter, you can still join one, or form one yourself.
These brochures will be sent to the real estate offices in the respective market areas. This project is in reaction to many real estate offices implementing in-house rules that prohibit agents from recommending individual inspectors for fear of negligent referral claims.
Let me know if your chapter is interested by emailing fastreply@nachi.org There is no charge to chapters or members for this marketing.
Lisa is working with a couple chapters now on this and we will post various brochure designs soon. The new brochures will reference sites like www.InspectorLocator.com so members should make sure they have their ancillary services listed www.nachi.org/ancillary.htm
Years ago, we spearheaded this concept in Colorado by making a generic-looking flyer,
“Your List if Certified Inspectors
In the Front Range Area”
and distributing it to the RE offices.
It looked like a plain-vanilla flyer that would have come out of the Consumer Info Ctr in Pueblo.
How does one get listed as a “member” of a chapter? I’ve attended chapter meetings in Berks Co and Pittsburgh, PA and Frederick and Linthicum, MD, but I don’t know if I’m listed as a “member” anywhere.
On 8-1/2" X 14" paper I put together a Double Gate Fold Brochure, still in the design stage, for the great Lakes-East Chapter. I used the “Sellers & Realtors Take Note” Brochure that someone else designed recently and made some modifications to it.
I added the chapters logo to it, Find An Inspector, NACHI Elite Inspectors logo , a regional map of Michigan & listed each member of the chapter divided into regins.
