7. Is the inspector affiliated with any organizations?

There are many local, state, and national organizations that an inspector can join as well
as many franchises that an inspector can purchase. However, membership in any
organization does not guarantee a quality inspector.  In the end, the individual inspector's
experience and knowledge will determine the quality of the inspection.
Belonging to a local or national organization usually does keep the inspector aware of
current trends and inspection methods. Many of the organizations require passing a
knowledge exam to become a member and yearly continuing education credit
requirements.
