Current members will confirm that membership in the National
Society of Home Inspectors, Inc. (NSHI) includes valuable benefits for any home inspection business. For a low
annual membership fee of just $199, you will receive all of the products and services listed below. You pay nothing
additional to receive them, just the membership fee.
 NSHI
Find Inspector Referral Service
The home inspection business is driven by referrals, so NSHI offers a free Find Inspector service for members.
When a potential client requests an inspector for a certain location, NSHI matches the geographic location with
its member database, allowing the client to find a NSHI inspector in his or her area. A special page allows the
client to either email the NSHI inspector, call, or visit the inspector's website, depending on the member's contact
preferences.
NSHI Member
Website
NSHI members receive an easy-to-use website control
panel where members can create their free website hosted on NSHI's server. Quickly and easily list your business
online, highlighting your professional membership. Use your custom webpage to promote your business and serve as
a resource for existing customers. Other companies charge hundreds of dollars per year for similar services, but
NSHI members receive this service free of charge.
Continuing Education Hours
NSHI provides a free 6-hour continuing education
course each year for members. These online courses, developed by special arrangement with Professional Home Inspection
Institute (PHII), assist you with professional development, meet the NSHI membership requirements,
and add to your credentials. In some states, this continuing education course even meets the requirements to renew
your home inspection license.
