So Many Resources

ASHI and its large network of professional, certified home inspectors are committed to maintaining high standards across the profession—and 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 are essential because they are a fantastic way for our Home Inspector Members to learn about services and products that can help them serve their clients in the best way possible,” said James Thomas, ASHI Executive Director. “For Affiliates, the members of ASHI offer an opportunity to teach those who may be unaware of the different options that can help them grow their business and become 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. Here is a more detailed look at some of the current ASHI Affiliate Members.
