2020

Let me give you my $0.05 worth. I've owned my inspection business for going on 8 years now and never have belonged to any organization. In fact my number was unlisted until just 3 years ago and I got business cards for the first time just last year. I did some 270+ inspections last year and have found that no body cares. I contemplated joining ASHI once and then I attended a conference in Las Vegas and I have nothing good to say about ASHI. Imagine this during the course the President of ASHI at the time said and I quote: "Houses are built by guys name Jose and Bubba, they sure in the hell don't know how to read much less how to put a house together and that is a good thing because it means that we can always find something wrong" I wrote to ASHI about it and made a comment on the conference questionnaire and to this date there has not been any answer from anyone. As you can see it would be very difficult for me to ever justify a membership with ASHI. And yes my name is Jose. Now do you know that less than 40% of all doctors belong to any medical association? It really is not a prerequisite to do your inspections, to be known and to be successful. We put too much emphasis on associations and in fact associations usually mean that the industry gets dumb down to meet as many people's wishes. Do your thing, be proud of each single inspection you do and give it your all and I will guarantee you that you will not need to be a member of any association. And if you happen to be reading this you either have too much time in your hands or putting off something more important than reading all this stuff.

3D baby That's all I have to say.
