You must be certified by us to inspect residential properties, and must be certified by our approved third-party vendor to inspect commercial buildings. The certification for residential inspections is separate and distinct from certification for commercial inspections.
All franchisees wishing to perform commercial inspections must meet our standards as specified in the Operations Manual, obtain our approval, and become certified in commercial property inspections from a program that we approve. Currently, the approved commercial inspection training program is conducted by an independent third party, which charges a fee, and is separate from our Initial Training.
