3 Comments on Only Certified Nevada Inspectors May Do Home Inspections In Nevada

Well, it would be nice to know your name?  I even looked at your website and could not find your name.

This is a problem in states that have licensing programs for home inspectors, or just about any profession that is regulated by a state. 

What many don't know is that if a Real Estate agent allows their client to use an unlicensed inspector that the agent is most likely in violation of their own license law!  Many never even think or know about this.

Hi Jeff,  now we know your name!!

FYI, you might want to place it on your IR profile and on your website.  Most folks like to know who they are dealing with when they are looking for a home inspection.
