Your late, I posted it here two days ago. If this thing becomes as big as some are wishing who knows who will be implicated when Mallory again gets the opportunity to speak, stories regarding dogs taking exams may only be the tip of the iceberg; remember, it ain't over till the fat lady sings.

Kinda like bringing a knife to a gun fight.

Yep, that way, when both sides run out of bullets, at least you now have a knife for protection.

You and Harvey should have remembered the Fat Lady's Song a couple of months ago when you were celebrating the defeat of HI Licensing in Florida.....How does that song go Joe?

If I were the NAHI E.D., I would be considering filing individual civil suits against several Nachi Members who participated in the "You aren't going to believe this" thread on your message board, she could even use past comments from your ESOP Committee to establish that several members, and interNachi leaders had violated your own rules and policies, along with possibly violating various Federal Laws, some of which may come under the province of the FCC. You should suggest to the "Penile Implant" gang that they take a look at the definition of slander, libel, and defamation, and the use of interstate communications regarding those, and a couple of others.

I'd contribute to her "legal" fund if she were to press charges, I'm pretty sure others would to.

Lewis,
Do you have specifics on the rules broken or are you just venting? Don't forget about that pesky free speech thing.

You would think the NAHI members could, would, should ignore such blatant BS from a source that appears to lack any credibility? I’m afraid state licensing will make all real estate inspector associations “history” so perhaps this is a lot to do about nothing?

Jerry,
Why would licenseing do away with the assoc.'s, I for one would not drop out just because the stat gave me a piece of paper.

Lewis,

I suggest you save your money, when you boil it all down there is still the sworn testimony of Mallory Anderson admitting to have conspired with other home inspection associations for the purpose of putting NACHI inspectors out of business for no other reason except that they were NACHI members.

I am positive that given the chance to cross examine Mallory once again NACHI lawyers will leave no stone unturned getting to the bottom of this conspiracy regardless of where it leads. Based on her previous confession it is doubtful that Mallory will ever again be willing to testify against NACHI, more likely my guess is she will be summoned against her will.

What really puzzles me is why she is allowed to remain in her position after such a public debacle, conspiring to put people out of business is a serious breach of conduct in almost any profession, were something like this to happen at NACHI the person would be immediately removed for violating NACHI's CoE. I will leave commenting on Florida licensing to another thread other than to say that its effects on me personally will be minimal.

A very strong rumor has Mallory resigning on Monday. Her paid position as ED and her part ownership of the contracted company managing (AND PAYING HER) it has NAHI almost assured of losing their non-profit status.

Looks like it is all starting to crumble...

I live in a licensed state and nobody ask what organization you belong too. Only question I get is are you a Licensed Home Inspector.
All these organizations are not big around here. I belong to a local organization that is big on Continued ED and has real low profile.

Lewis.. your not alone on this one..

With the current example of price fixing, it may just a matter of time before ole nickey is long gone, thus saving everybody $s for having to defend themselves from gromickos next law suit.

Dan,

Your rants lately are much less thought out and impassioned; price fixing within the home inspection market will be just about as easy to accomplish as cat herding, and just about as rewarding.

I'm sure its written in the Bible somewhere... "Low-ballers and their ilk will be with us always", but what intrigues me mostly is your knee-jerk reaction to CMI, who knows that designation might be worth something after all.

My knee jerk reaction to the CMI.
I can only suggest when lic. come to Fla, voluniteer for the lic. committes and read or listen to customers that felt they were done wrong by an inspector, and what is exposed when they state why they hired an inspector, I'll guarantee you most of them will claim it was due to the stated / advertized qualifications by the inspector, and yes those qualifications will very often be verified by that customers attorney to discredit the inspector, and used against him if they are not verifiable..

I hate the thread drift, but right now based on the fact that home inspection organizations are thriving in both licensed & unlicensed states all you have is the makings for a good theory regarding that they are a waste of time. None the less it does appear to be a theory with legs in that once licensing becomes the national norm, associations who expect to survive will have to deliver value to their membership instead of working against their members best interests as some have been known to do.

Where we differ is in the notion that their best use is in providing education. I fear that if education is the best reason to join an association then we will all be punching a time-clock working for some friggin' mega-home inspection corporation in the near future. First comes licensing, then comes the standardization of all documentation & reports and lastly consolidation in the form of lower prices & centralized workforces.

What we need is an association with superior marketing talent and vision, an association which will market their members as a cartel and provide a barrier to protect and promote their members in the marketplace, otherwise we can kiss our asses good by and go the way of all other mom & pop type businesses.

We are fully aware that some associations through their support of licensing have traded our birthright for a bowl of slop, no doubt these same associations would be quick to further our demise by supporting standardization and the centralization of one-man operations. So when you hear one of these associations educating their membership in terms of standardization & centralization and calling it a benefit you can bet your ass it isn't your best interests they are trying to protect but their own.

Hence the lunacy of any lawsuit that suggests that NAHI and it's members lost money due to public confusion over the names of these two organizations, to the tune of $4 million.

NAHI fights back? Get real. Please remember who filed the bogus lawsuit in the first place. It is simply another part of a pattern of behaviour intended to do everything in their power to do damage to NACHI and it's members. The worst of which is evident in PA.

All the while John Q. Public says "What organizations?"

That may be true for some of the John Q Public, members of professional HI orgs are getting the majority of their inspections from the other John Qs that do their home work/ research prior to hiring an inspector..
