New
Jersey State Board of Professional
Engineers and Land Surveyors.
Ameri-Search is a member in good
standing of this organization.
Where as only
a few months of training is needed
to become a licensed NJ Inspector,
NEW Ameri-Search Inspectors are
required to complete a one year
program. |
|
|
Following this, one year of
performing home inspections under
the direct supervision of a
licensed home inspector is
required. Also necessary is
passing a very comprehensive home inspectors exam
that covers code of ethics and inspection
standards. |

The
American Society of Home Inspectors ®
Standards of Practice
are
the proven inspection standards and
guidelines used to perform the visible
home inspection. ASHI is the
"leader in the industry". ASHI is the only nationally
recognized professional home inspectors
organization that requires its members
to pass a series of rigorous
tests. |
ASHI is a private voluntary
organization that sets a
meaningful set of standards and
code of ethics in a business that
generally has few rules and
regulations. While most states do
not require licensing, ASHI
standards are higher than states
that do. They must also have have
extensive inspection experience and
obtain continuing educational credits
each year to maintain certification. Ameri-Search
is an active member of ASHI. |
The
ASHI "Code of
Ethics" also ensures that the
inspector is working for your best
interest during the inspection of the
house and property. The only
compensation that is received by the
inspector is from the home inspection
itself. This ensures an objective
assessment of the property. No
kick-backs or referral fee's are ever
permitted. Please use the hyperlink
above to go to the ASHI site for
additional consumer information. |
"Independent
Inspectors of North America."
Ameri-Search is a member of this organization.
These home inspection companies do not actively
solicit realtor referrals to obtain
inspections. What this means
to the home buyer is an honest and
thorough inspection when using an
independent inspector. Don't
forget, the listing realtor
usually works for the seller. The above
link has some very
interesting testimonials from home
buyers and inspectors throughout the
country.
H.U.D.
203(k)
Consultants. Ameri-Search
participates in this program that can be
used when purchasing a
house that needs major
improvements where a typical mortgage
company would not approve the loan. A
typical home inspection can be
substituted with a work write-up, which
consists of all major items to be
repaired.
HUD
203(k) loans can also be used when
remodeling you home. The idea is to have
the installation reviewed and approved
by a HUD Consultant before funds are
issued by the bank. The HUD Consultant
acts as a go-between between the
contractor and the homeowner. You can be
assured the work will be done properly.
