Finding a home inspector in Overland Park can be a tough problem. With no certifications required in Kansas or Missouri, it’s hard to know if an inspector is qualified to do the job. There are things you can look for, however, to help you make an informed decision. The team at Gordon & Associates is not only qualified, but wants to help you learn what to look for so you can be confident when you choose to work with us.
As already stated, there are no laws in Kansas requiring a home inspector in Overland Park to be certified by any board. That said, there is the American Society of Home Inspectors, which is a valuable marker of experience and qualification for its members. ASHI offers a certification for home inspectors that proves their legitimacy and guarantees a level of trustability. They also offer a tool that can help locate the right home inspector in Overland Park to meet your needs.
There are three levels of membership within ASHI, each with different requirements:
ASHI Associate Member
This is the starting point of ASHI Membership. Associate members can access numerous benefits and resources to help them build and maintain a successful home inspection business. To be a member an inspector must submit an application, complete a background check, and pass the ASHI standard of practice and code of ethics education modules.
ASHI Inspector
This level is for ASHI members who have more experience as a practicing home inspector and have refined their technical knowledge. ASHI Inspectors must complete all the associate member requirements as well as provide proof of passing the National Home Inspector Examination, complete a minimum of 50 fee paid home inspections, pass the report verification process, and receive an affidavit from ASHI, notarized with the total number of inspections completed.
ASHI Certified Inspector
This is the highest level of ASHI membership. ACI’s are fully accredited by the national commission of certifying agencies and are recognized as having the highest standards in the profession. ACI’s are recognized as leaders in the home inspection industry. In addition the previous level requirements, ACI’s must also complete a minimum of 250 fee paid home inspections and pass report verification.
