Certified Real Estate Inspector (CRI)

The National Association of Home Inspectors, Inc. (NAHI) was established in 1987 as a nonprofit association to promote and develop the home inspection industry.

The Certified Real Estate Inspector (CRI) designation is bestowed upon home inspectors who demonstrate their knowledge of, and proficiency at, all aspects of home inspection. The CRI designation is received only after an individual has conducted 250 inspections, passed the required examination and met all requirements set forth by the NAHI Board of Directors. The CRI designation requires re-certification on an annual basis. All CRI Members must complete 16 Continuing Education Units (CEU's) per year. 16 CEU's are equal to 16 hours of classroom study.
