About Licensed Inspections
Why choose a licensed Home Inspector?
The National Home Inspector Examination (NHIE) is designed to evaluate the competency of home inspection professional's to make sure they have the knowledge and understanding necessary to provide valid home inspection's.
​
Twenty-nine states currently include the exam as part of their licensing requirements. The NHIE is a vital part of any Home Inspection career "especially in state's that require licensing such as New Mexico".
Client's and Real Estate Agent's need to know that us as Inspector's have the understanding and know what we are looking for.
