Code of ethics
Effective on June 13, 2004
The ASHI Code of Ethics details the core guidelines of home inspection professionalism and home inspection ethics.
Covering crucial issues such as conflicts of interest, good faith and public perception, these home inspection ethics
are central pillars of home inspection professionalism for the entire industry.
Integrity, honesty, and objectivity are fundamental principles embodied by this Code, which sets forth obligations of
ethical conduct for the home inspection profession. The Membership of ASHI has adopted this Code to provide high
ethical standards to safeguard the public and the profession.
Inspectors shall comply with this Code, shall avoid association with any enterprise whose practices violate this Code,
and shall strive to uphold, maintain, and improve the integrity, reputation, and practice of the home inspection
profession.
All inspector members of ASHI have agreed to abide by this Code of Ethics
1. Inspectors shall avoid conflicts of interest or activities that compromise, or appear to compromise, professional
independence, objectivity, or inspection integrity.
A. Inspectors shall not inspect properties for compensation in which they have, or expect to have, a financial interest.
B. Inspectors shall not inspect properties under contingent arrangements whereby any compensation or future
referrals are dependent on reported findings or on the sale of a property.
C. Inspectors shall not directly or indirectly compensate realty agents, or other parties having a financial interest in
closing or settlement of real estate transactions, for the referral of inspections or for inclusion on a list of
recommended inspectors, preferred providers, or similar arrangements.
D. Inspectors shall not receive compensation for an inspection from more than one party unless agreed to by the
client(s).
E. Inspectors shall not accept compensation, directly or indirectly, for recommending contractors, services, or
products to inspection clients or other parties having an interest in inspected properties.

of education, training, or experience.
B. Inspectors shall be objective in their reporting and not knowingly understate or overstate the significance of
reported conditions.
C. Inspectors shall not disclose inspection results or client information without client approval. Inspectors, at their
discretion, may disclose observed immediate safety hazards to occupants exposed to such hazards, when
feasible.
3. Inspectors shall avoid activities that may harm the public, discredit themselves, or reduce public confidence in
the profession.
