Home Inspector Association for the U.S. and Canada

The North American Association of Home Inspectors, Inc. (AHI, pronounced A-H-I) is a nonprofit membership association for professional residential and commercial home inspectors. Since 2003, AHI has promoted high standards of practice and an enforceable code of ethics, with members in every U.S. state and Canadian province and in other countries. AHI is a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit organization and does not endorse any third-party home inspection company.

For Home Buyers: Find a Qualified Home Inspector

A home inspection gives you clear, factual information about the visible condition of a property before you make a major financial commitment. AHI home inspectors work for you alone, follow published national standards of practice, and are bound by a code of ethics that prohibits paying referral fees to real estate agents and requires disclosure of conflicts of interest.

For Home Inspectors: Membership, Education and Marketing

Whether you are new to the profession or an experienced inspector looking to add credentials, AHI membership helps you build your business and stay current. Applicants need either 90 hours of accredited home inspector education or experience with at least 25 home inspections; members become full members after more than 100 inspections and passing a recognized exam. See the complete membership requirements, or apply for membership online.
