Whether you are buying or selling a house, condominium or townhouse you should always incorporate the services of a home inspector that is Florida state licensed (HI 681) and certified by the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (InterNACHI). That is why I have worked hard to become a member of InterNACHI and I promise to provide you with excellent service. As an InterNACHI member I must:

- Complete InterNACHI’s ethics “obstacle course” which ensures that I am aware of my ethical duties as a home inspector,

- Sign and submit an affidavit legally agreeing that I have and will continue to adhere to all InterNACHI standards, ethics and education requirements,
