Q: Why is it wrong for a Home Inventory Professional to advertise they are licensed?

A: There is no Home Inventory license in any state. Customers expect you to have the basics: relevant and current licenses, business registration, insurance, etc.. Yes, even a driver’s license. The Inventory Institute believes the practice of claiming licensure or certification when none exists is no different than dressing as a policeman to gain admission into a home.

A: No.

A: By completing all videos, tests, and submitting all necessary Inventory Samples. Certified  Home Inventory Professional designation will be received via USPS.

A: Submit membership application, proof of current Professional Liability insurance and bonding, and application fee.
