Thank You, for choosing Bendix Home Inspection (BHI).

This could be the biggest purchase of your life, and having an inspector working to protect your interests,
 is a small price to pay for the assurance it provides.

Licensing of home inspectors only sets a minimum standard.  Much like being up to code, any less would be illegal.  Imaginary people, children, psychics (who claim to "sense" if a house is OK) and even pets can be home inspectors.  Other home inspection associations have no entrance requirements and worse, encourage their candidates to go out and perform actual inspections for poor, unsuspecting consumers as the only way to achieve full membership.  NACHI finds this practice unconscionable. That is why NACHI front-ends its membership requirements.  We turn down more than 1/2 the inspectors who want to join because they can't pass our exam or fulfill our membership requirements.

  • Have to pass NACHI's  Online Inspector Examination  every year.  (This general, not association-specific exam is open and free to all).
