And just what is the ASHI Experience?
Certified ASHI Members are the Industry Experts
TESTED - passed the National Home Inspector
Exam (NHIE) in addition to the state exam required for licensing. Only ASHI members take a proctored
exam in addition to any state licensure requirements.
EXPERIENCED - all ASHI members have a minimum
experience of 250 inspections although most of our members have performed several thousand of
inspections and have 10 to 25 years of experience.
REPORTS VERIFIED - ASHI certification means that
every ASHI member has submitted sufficient copies of their reports to verify that the ASHI Standards of
Practice are being followed in report writing.
EDUCATION - every ASHI member must take 20 hours of continuing
education while other licensees only have to take 12 hours of continuing education. Our standards are
much higher than the state.
PROFESSIONAL - ASHI members must observe a strict
Code of Ethics that demand fairness with no perception of conflict of interest. ASHI members will never
offer or accept a repair or maintenance request from a buyer or seller of an inspected home within 12
months following the inspection.
STANDARDS - ASHI is the only professional association
in the Home Inspector industry that meets with federal officials at HUD and the VA as well as
representatives of the National Association of Realtors®. We are engaged in setting industry
standards for protection of the public.
