ASHI is the oldest and most widely recognized non-profit professional association for home inspectors. ASHI’s “Standard of Practice” serve as the home inspectors performance guideline, and is universally recognized and accepted by professionals and government authorities. ASHI’s Code of Ethics prohibits members from engaging in conflict of interest activities, which may compromise their objectivity.

ASHI is the only Accredited Home Inspection Organization

ASHI standards for certification are more stringent than other home inspection organizations. ASHI has been approved as a recognized accrediting association for its profession-leading Certified Inspector Program by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA). The NCCA is the professional services accreditation arm of the Institute for Credentialing Excellence. The NCCA requires compliance with 21 Standards, each of which has multiple components, in order to grant accreditation status to any association.

ASHI is now the only Accredited Home Inspection Association which has completed a recognized third-party certification process. This national certification denotes a more advanced level of knowledge and practice skill required to become an ASHI Certified Inspector.
