There are NO Licensing Requirements to be a Home Inspector in St. Louis, Missouri!
Great News for the Poor Quality Home Inspectors... but Bad News for YOU... the Home Buyer!
Anyone in this state can wake up in the morning, go buy a flashlight and a ladder and call themselves a home inspector... and even worse, they could possibly show up at your house to do your inspection!
BEWARE of the Home Inspector You Hire to Inspect Your Home!
Many inspectors here claim to be qualified, certified, or "whatever" but who or what organization provided their credentials? People with little experience or knowledge can obtain credentials via the Internet for a fee! But how are you suppose to know this?
My name is Eric Bethel and I'm the President of Trademark Home Inspections. I understand that purchasing a home can be a very stressful time in anyone’s life. My goal is to help you understand the home inspection process, conduct a non-invasive visual inspection of your home and its systems; and report on the condition of your home, both positive and negative.
I realize I'm applying for the job to be your home inspector, and with that said, please allow me to lay out my credentials before you!

With over 16 combined years experience in residential mechanical systems, the professional fire service, and building inspections, you can rest assured that your future home is in good hands.
I am a member of the American Society of Home Inspectors (ASHI), and that's important to you because in order to be an ASHI member, I had to pass the National Home Inspectors exam, and the ASHI Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics Exams with reports verified by their report verification team.
I've completed 500 hours of focused home inspection training, testing, videos and field exercises that was created by the leaders of the industry - ASHI, Carson Dunlop & Associates, and Dearborn Home Inspection Education.
I'm also a member of the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI), the world’s largest Home Inspector Association. To become a member, I had to pass the Inspector exam, Ethics and Standards of Practice exams, and 24 hours of continuing education must be completed every year including some online courses.
