Home Inspection
"The American Society of Home Inspectors" is a professional organization for home inspectors... it is sometimes referred to as ASHI.
I have information on the home inspection page on my website about home inspectors who are ASHI. I also have info on NAHI and NIBI (other home inspector professional organizations) as well as a local company which is not affiliated with any inspection organization.... one of my favorite local home inspection companies...
The Home Inspection page on my website.
Here is some home inspection advice from Real Living:
"Real Living suggests that buyers select an inspector who can provide proof of membership in the American Society of Home Inspectors. Home inspection is presently a comparatively unregulated industry in many states, and ASHI-certified inspectors meet stringent requirements and abide by a sturdy Code of Ethics."
Enough small talk, (there's is at least one clue above) and this is of course an open book and Internet quiz... or puzzle
