Did you know...

...that there are more than 2,700 active licensed home inspectors in the State of Illinois.

...approximately 75% of those home inspectors are in Chicago and its surrounding suburbs.

...that there are more than 500 active licensed home inspectors in the State of Indiana.

...Illinois requires 6 continuing education hours each calendar year.

...that "ladder safety" qualifies as 3 of those 6 continuing education hours in Illinois. (Ladder safety is important, but is this something that will help a home inspector identify potential problems in a home?)

...ASHI (American Society of Home Inspectors) requires 20 hours of continuing education hours each calendar year for full membership.

...NAHI (National Association of Home Inspectors) requires 16 hours of continuing education hours each calendar year for CRI membership.

... that almost 100% of clients do not ask for proof of State license or proof of membership to one of the national organizations.  (Ask, you might be surprised)

... that city inspections are not home inspections. City inspections take about 15 to 30 minutes normally and only cover city codes. Home inspections take approximately 2½ -3½ hours to complete and cover all the systems in the home.

... that appraisals are not home inspections. The function of an appraisal is simply to find the value of your home in its current condition. A home inspection, on the other hand, is completed so that the home owner or a buyer may find out about possible safety concerns, major problems, and potential problems that may be present.
