DATE CHANGES AS NEEDED TO OBSERVE HOLIDAYS

Module 5: 40 hours is on 5 Saturdays (or Sundays) as determined by the students & Proctor ("5 Weekend Days x 8 hour per day = 40 hours total for Module 5")

Module 5 Program 10 inspections on Saturdays from 8am - 5pm, which meets the 40 hour inspection requirement. Your time writing the report is in addition to the 40 hours spent in the field.

Students are to submit each Inspection report to the School for Review. This way, you improve your skill as you improve what is written on your report cards

Each Module 5 class an Saturday - giving you the 40 hours required in weekend days.

The only concern is weather and the safety of students. Once licensed, you do not have to work for a company. You can, if you wish, work for another firm or you can open your own company.

We ask each student to offer 2 homes (A MINIMUM OF 2 HOMES IS REQUESTED AS PART OF THE PROGRAM) To allow us to inspect each home as part of Module 5. We ask you for your assistance. There is an additional charge if you are unwilling to provide homes to insect in Module 5. That is why Module 5 is inexpensive if you provide homes to inspect.

Once you finish Module 5, you will receive all of your NYS CERTIFIED/RAISED SEAL certificates within 2-3 weeks after Module 5 is successfully completed by student.

Steps to Become a NY State Home Inspector 631-563-7720

1	Determine if this is the right career for you. YOU NEED a 140 Hour NY State Approved Course Many people come to us and they have never seen a home inspection performed. Crawling under homes may not be your idea of a fun day. Also, this business requires good people skills and the ability to sell yourself.
2	Set up your business properly. YOU NEED a 140 Hour NY State Approved Course Decide the structure of your business; corporation, partnership, etc. with the help of a good small business accountant and attorney. Develop a relationship with your bank. Set-up good business practices early.
3	Research your marketplace. YOU NEED a 140 Hour NY State Approved Course How many homes are sold in the area you will be serving? How many of those homes get inspected? How many other inspectors are in that area? What are the fees charged by your competition? Who are your potential clients?.
4	Create a business plan. YOU NEED a 140 Hour NY State Approved Course Whether you have never been in business for yourself or are a seasoned veteran, the importance of a business plan is critical for success. By answering all the questions addressed in a working business plan you will create a road map for success.
5	Choose a market position. YOU NEED a 140 Hour NY State Approved Course Too many companies simply copy the marketing messages of the competition. To get people to switch to your service you need to give them a fantastic reason to change. Do not sell your service simply based on price. Many standard market positions exist, such as, innovation, speed, experience, quality, etc. Make sure your chosen position fits your personality.
6	Choose a reporting system that fits your style and budget. YOU NEED a 140 Hour NY State Approved Course The inspection report can be your biggest marketing tool and your largest expense. A wide variety of reporting methods are available today. Computers can assist you in report creation but can be a large up front expense. When considering the cost of your inspection report remember to factor in the time you or an assistant will spend behind the computer into the costs. Typical narrative reports cost between $5 and $60 to produce. On-site forms make delivery of your report when you complete the inspection easy. If you are computer phobic these on-site reporting forms may be the answer. Many inspectors select internet inspection products. others use checklists.
7	Be sure you understand the scope of the work. YOU NEED a 140 Hour NY State Approved Course From the outside looking in, home inspection may appear to be an easy job. Well it's not! Understanding all the systems in a home and having the ability to recognize the red flags is an extremely complex task. The liability of inspecting a home without proper knowledge and training is tremendous. Choose your training with care. Compare the opportunities carefully. Not all are equal. Look for courses given at NY State licensed schools. Ask how long the course is and what materials are included. What is the cost of the program? What are the credentials of the instructors and the school? Will you be allowed to upgrade your training or return for additional training at discount prices?
8	Prepare yourself well for your new business. YOU NEED a 140 Hour NY State Approved Course If you have never been in business before, then you might need additional training in specialized areas such as business management, accounting or public speaking. Remember that the better you prepare yourself for success the more likely success will come to you. We offer free Small Business Administration courses to help you here as well. Go to www.merrellinstitute.com then click on the Yellowpages box, then on Small Business Administration Courses. They are Free and we are pleased to make them available to you.

We are happy to send you a free brochure to help you get started in the home inspection business. For your free schedule simply download it from our web site or call us at 631-563-7720 and we will mail it to you. We can also send it to you via e-mail. E-mail us at merrelled@gmail.com
