"Don't Be Misled Into Thinking All Home Inspectors Are Created Equal" The truth is, home inspections are a second occupation for most inspectors, coming from totally unrelated fields such as auto sales or repairs, education, carpet cleaning or fire fighting. You need to ask yourself, "who do I want to inspect my new home, Someone who has taken a ten day inspection course or a person with an extensive background relevant to home inspection?" The inspection business is highly competitive here in Bozeman and some people will say anything to get your inspection. There are only two national home inspection associations which have a credible certification process. ASHI & NAHI. Both require a minimum of 250 verified home inspections and the successful completion of the National Home Inspectors Exam. Others, NACHI for example, only ask for 4 mock inspection reports and a free internet quiz anyone can take over and over until a passing grade of 70% is reached, giving untrained and inexperienced inspectors the right call themselves certified. During January 2006, House Bill 393, requiring state registration and certification of home inspectors, was killed by members of such groups because they could not meet the minimum standards set forth by the bill. The truth is, home inspections are a second occupation for most local inspectors, coming from totally unrelated fields such as auto sales or repairs, education, carpet cleaning or fire fighting. You need to ask yourself, "who do I want to inspect my new home, Someone who has taken a ten day inspection course or a person with an extensive background relevant to home inspection?"

API Certified Radon Screening & (Radon Links)
There are only 4 home inspectors in the Bozeman area certified to screen for radon. Hiring an inspector who has not taken the time or effort to become certified may produce false results. They obviously are not taking radon seriously and you certainly can not rely on their test results if they follow the EPA testing procedures.
Montana has no regulations governing Home Inspection certification or licensing. In short anyone can become a home inspector, That is why experience counts! All documentation and qualifications are available for review at time of inspection.
