Who is iNACHI
The National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (iNACHI) is the world’s largest most elite home inspection association. A non-profit organization with members in all 50 states and 22 countries, iNACHI is the international home of over 9400 inspectors worldwide. iNACHI’s membership increases steadily at the rate of 300 per month on average.
iNACHI has over 55 local chapters in the U.S. with more forming at the rate of two per week. iNACHI is present at or sponsors nearly every major real estate and home inspection industry event in the U.S. has a yearly convention, and has free home inspection training seminars and courses throughout the U.S.
iNACHI’s sister organization InteriNACHI has members in over a dozen countries. iNACHI’s Singapore Chapter has members from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines and Hong Kong. There are over 200 Canadian members of iNACHI.
iNACHI recently partnered with FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Administration) to distribute smoke detectors and fire safety literature using iNACHI home inspectors. The iNACHI Foundation's public service announcements play some 7,000 times a month on radio stations across North America.
iNACHI’s Standards of Practice is now the industry standard. This new version is by far the largest, most comprehensive set of guidelines available to inspectors. Twelve years in the making, and over 20 pages long, this latest revision elevates iNACHI's Standards of Practice to the nation's definitive standard for the professional home inspection industry.
iNACHI promotes a high standard of professionalism, business ethics, and inspection procedures with its Code of Ethics. iNACHI’s Continuing Education, free hands-on training, free online inspection courses, and free inspection video library all help keep our members the best they can be.
Operating many hundreds of websites, iNACHI reaches millions of consumers, inspectors, and REALTORs every month. Our 8,000+ page flagship site, iNACHI.org, receives over 5 million hits per month alone and is now one of the internet's most popular sites enjoyed by over 58,000 unique visitors a month.
iNACHI hosts the inspection industry's largest photo inspection message board with over 56,000 topics integrated into a web gallery. Many government officials and state regulators use iNACHI’s open message board to interact with the home inspection industry because it is un-moderated and freedom of speech is protected.
Recently iNACHI worked with investigators from Washington and Illinois in uncovering a home inspection insurance fraud. Washington Insurance Commissioner’s investigator spoke at our Spokane Chapter meeting and credited iNACHI.
iNACHI dominates the internet operating 1,400 websites with 23,000 more covert websites planned for this year. Each of these operations is many hundreds of times as active as any competing site on the internet. iNACHI has its own separate Canadian, New York, Florida, Atlanta, Michigan, California and Singapore websites, its own local Chapter websites, owns its own dedicated servers in 4 countries, owns the Real Estate Referral Network, and owns FindAnInspector.US and InspectorSEEK.com the nation’s largest inspector search engines.
iNACHI has hundreds of inspector vendor relationships each providing iNACHI discounts on everything from reporting systems to printer ink. iNACHI has negotiated discounts for its members on laboratory services, books, courses, videos, tools, mold training, wood infestation training, and E&O insurance. Fortune 500 companies like DELL and Office Depot have joint portals at www.iNACHI.org. iNACHI maintains integrity by cutting no side deals and accepting no paid advertising... not so much as a banner ad.
