For Home Inspectors

Top Reasons to join your local ASHI Chapter (SunCoast ASHI)

  1. Being a member of ASHI National is great, but that’s really just an office. The Chapter is the learning center.
  2. Stay up to date on the current state of the local real estate industry and inspection technology.
  3. Have access to an unlimited knowledge base. (Your SunCoast brothers are the most experienced and knowledgeable inspectors in the business.)
  4. Camaraderie. ASHI inspectors may be your competition, but that never stops them from lending a helping hand, for the good of our profession and our chapter.
  5. Training, continuous education & knowledge. (Suncoast ASHI members receive a substantial discount for SunTech, where you can earn the majority of the required continuing education credits. (CE Hours)
  6. Access to legal council. (an affiliate member has opened his doors to all Members of SunCoast ASHI)
  7. Stay informed on the latest hot inspection topics, such as Chinese drywall, Licensing, mold, etc.
  8. The marketing efforts of our chapter. We have developed a cost effective and widespread program, that includes brochures that are hand delivered to the majority of the real estate offices in our area. We have updated our web site to be on the top of most web searches, which in turn directs clients to our members.
  9. It’ll be the best $300.00 you spend on your business each year.
  10. The first meeting (and dinner) is free & the cost of the monthly meetings is a great value at only $10.00.

In the meantime, our Suncoast ASHI Chapter invites you to be our guest. Non-members are welcome to attend 2 meetings as a guest.  After 2 meetings, you will be required to join the chapter as a candidate or a full member.   The Suncoast ASHI Chapter meetings are held at Chile’s on U.S. 19 and East Bay Drive in Clearwater.

(Please call 727-723-7800 or email admin@ashisuncoast.com to verify prior to each meeting)

Many members and  guests arrive by 6:30p.m. for social time prior to the meeting which begins at 7:00p.m.

Guests, Associates and Certified Inspectors to the Suncoast ASHI Chapter meetings pay a $10 fee at the door. This fee covers the meeting and $10 towards your meal (off the Chilis’ menu).  Guests may attend Suncoast ASHI meetings 2 times.  Beginning with the 3rd meeting, guests will be required to become a chapter member.

In closing, please know that you have contacted the best professional association for home inspectors. What you may not know is that the local comradery and exchange of ideas as well as the education (we have an outside speaker at most chapter meetings) will be essential to your success in the Home Inspection profession.
