The National Ethics Society of Home Inspectors NESHI

Q. WHAT IS THE NATIONAL ETHICS SOCIETY OF HOME INSPECTORS?

The National Ethics Society of Home Inspectors (NESHI) was established in 2001 to guide Professional Home Inspectors and encourage ethical practices within the industry. Membership in NESHI is established by an Inspector accepting and practicing ethical professional standards set forth by NESHI and its board of directors.

Ethical standards are extremely important in the home inspection industry. Clients are relying on the professional opinions of the inspector and the inspector must remain unbiased and neutral without conflicts of interest. For example, practices such as paying Real Estate Agents and/or Companies to be a "Preferred Vendor" or an "Affiliated Business" is strictly forbidden and using the inspection to solicit or refer repair work is also prohibited. NESHI members cannot engage in such practices and participation in those and similar activities will result in expulsion from the organization.

Q. WHO BELONGS TO NESHI?

Members of NESHI are independent professional home inspectors who have met and pledge to continue to meet and surpass ethical standards within their company and the industry at large. To become a NESHI Member, an inspector must pledge and maintain ethical business and industry standards and follow the Society's Code of Ethics. NESHI stresses that inspections performed by a Professional Home Inspector must be fair and impartial without conflicts of interest for another cause.
