American Society of Home Inspectors

American Society of Home Inspectors Founded in 1976 and with more than 5,000 members, ASHI is the most widely recognized non-profit, professional organization of home inspectors in North America.

In 1976, a group of visionary home inspectors with the common goal of building consumer awareness and enhancing the professionalism of their field established the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI). This not-for-profit professional association for home inspectors made its first order of business to establish and advocate high standards of practice and a strict code of ethics for the member community. The Mission of ASHI is to meet the needs of its membership and promote excellence and exemplary practice within the profession. ASHI is the most respected professional association for home inspectors in North America. Through ASHI’s continued efforts, ASHI's Standards of Practice—covering all of a home's major systems—are now part of many pieces of state legislation and are recognized by consumers as the authoritative standard for professional home inspection. ASHI’s website, ashi.org, is the definitive resource for inspectors, consumers, real estate professionals and the media for information, advice and resources dedicated to home inspection. Here you’ll find a wealth of shared ASHI home inspection knowledge at your disposal. Your feedback and comments on ASHI home inspection are welcome.

Meet Christopher R. Ross, ACI owner and principal inspector of North Coast Home Inspection, LLC, based in Tampa, Florida.

After 25 years in Corporate America, Christopher took the leap to start his own home inspection company — a milestone he counts among his proudest achievements, along with completing over 3,500 inspections along the way. What he values most about the work is being part of people's home-buying journey, whether it's their first home or their fifth.

His advice to those entering the field? Be patient, and take your time to provide quality service when you're just starting out.

And a fun fact: Christopher loves to surf — yes, he's one of the crazy people out there catching waves even in the winter!

We're glad to have you as part of ASHI, Christopher!

Being a serious inspector often includes some SERIOUS expenses to buy all the tools you need to get the job done!

But buying tools is only part of the expense, as the possibility of replacement, damage, or even theft is always right around the corner.

So be smart about it! With the ASHI Advantage, equipment coverage from Insurance jumps from $10,000 up to $20,000 at no extra cost.

How many tools could you protect with an extra $10,000? We hope you get the chance to find out!
