Access to Resources

ASHI and its growing network of professional, certified home inspectors continues to be committed to maintaining high standards across the profession. The organization is also committed to supporting its members in their home inspection careers. As part of that commitment, the ASHI Affiliate Member program is a way that home inspectors can access the products and services they need to enhance their businesses.

“Affiliates continue to be essential because they are a great way for our Home Inspector Members
to learn about services and products that can help them serve their clients and meet everyone’s needs,” said James Thomas, ASHI’s Executive Director.
“For Affiliates, ASHI members offer an opportunity to teach those who may be unaware of what they offer the different options that can help them grow their business and become even better at their craft.”

The list of ASHI Affiliate Members is always growing, and you can peruse at any time at homeinspector.org/Affiliates/Listing. Affiliate Members update their info on the ASHI website.
