Even if we had a certification requirement for home inspectors in Guam, it would only set a minimum standard. Much like being up to code, any less would be illegal.  

This is why I am a member of the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI) and have worked hard to complete the extensive requirements to be a Certified Professional Inspector. 

• Certified Professional Inspector 
• National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI) member
  • International Standard of Practice for home inspectors
  • International Code of Ethics for home inspectors
  • 24 hours of continuing education each year
• Supra Key access
• Guam Association of Realtors (GAR) since 2009
• Guam Liscensed Real Estate Agent since 2009
• Affiliated with Latte Stone Properties, LLC since 2010
• Guam Licensed Real Estate Broker since 2013

As a member of the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors, I:

• Pass NACHI's Online Inspector Examination every year. This general, not association-specific exam is an industry standard required by NACHI and some state licensing boards,
• Adhere to the industry's largest, most comprehensive Standards of Practice,
• Abide by NACHI's Code of Ethics,
• Follow a strict continuing education policy that requires, among other things, that I receive 24 hours of continuing education each year,

• Have passed NACHI's Standards of Practice quiz,
• Have signed and submitted an affidavit legally agreeing that I have and will continue to adhere to all NACHI standards, ethics and education requirements,
• Maintain a continuing education log that is verified by NACHI,

• Am required to successfully complete NACHI's comprehensive Standards of Practice course and examination, Roofing course and examination and Electrical course and examination,
• Attend at least one chapter meeting or educational seminar every two years,
• Have access to the Inspector's Quarterly so I can keep up-to-date on all the latest issues in the home inspection industry,
• Have access to a number of learning tools such as inspection tips and technique illustrations, a library of home inspection books and videos, the industry's largest message board, NACHI's "what's new" publication of recent inspection news, Dear NACHI," a detailed advice column, free online courses, quizzes, and exams, and the NACHI University,
• Have access to a free report review and mentoring service,
• Provide access to a free consumer hot-line.

If you need a home inspection performed, don't settle for anything less than a NACHI-certified home inspector.
