Is your home inspector qualified?

The state of Indiana requires Home Inspectors to be tested and licensed. These requirements are set at a minimum standard. Most Home Inspectors fall in this category. Scott Bowman is a member of InterNACHI International Association of Certified Home Inspectors. InterNACHI members pride themselves in maximum excellence above the minimum inspectors. InterNACHI turns down more than 60% of the inspectors who want to join InterNACHI because they can’t pass the inspectors exam and turn down 90% of those left because they can’t fulfill membership requirements.
