Washington State Real Estate Agents and Brokers -- Licensing Questionnaire
It is time to ask realtors in Washington state a couple important questions. Within the home inspection industry there is speculation as to how real estate professionals will handle referrals after the new home inspector licensing laws take effect on September 1, 2009.
I would like to receive feedback from Washington state realtors and brokers who are at Active Rain. I have written on this topic, and how the soon to be licensing will be implemented, in a previous post.

I have two questions that I would like your feedback on.
1. In your offices, are you aware that the rules regarding home inspectors will change on September 1, 2009 and are your offices formulating new policies on inspector referrals?
2. The law gives some inspectors, depending on when they got into the field, through June of next year to acquire additional education and field training. In the meantime, they may legally work but they will not be licensed nor will they show as licensed. How will your office deal with the group of inspectors who may be legally working for another ten months but they are not licensed?
Thanks for participating and please leave your responses in the comments below. Your answers ... more
