Home Inspector Training Institute

Alumni Testimonials

Please read what our Alumni are saying about Home Inspector Training Institute, LLC
"I felt that this course was overall well rounded and provided a good baseline to prepare students to become inspectors. It is of course not all encompassing, some self study is required and you will not learn every detail in just a few weeks. Steve does a very good job covering all the systems of a home inspection and providing many additional resources. He is enjoyable to talk with and seems genuinely interested in providing you with good guidance and helping you to be successful. I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to get into the industry. I mainly chose this course due to it being in person and owned/operated by a WV based business and I was satisfied with my choice."

"I moved here from out of state 2 years ago for a job that ended up not working out. I began looking into home inspection with some unease. Ilet my wife convince me to enroll, and though the potential to be my ownboss was exciting I was not sure if it was something I could do or would even want to do. Even after I first spoke with Steve on the phone, I still had some reservations. That changed the minute I went to that first class. I spoke with Steve about my background, and he immediately put my mind at ease. I went from being apprehensive to feeling sure that I had made the right choice within minutes. During the training I worked part time with 2 young kids and my wife worked full time, and Steve was excellent about being flexible and making a schedule that worked for me. From day one Steve treated me like a friend as much as a student. Discussing the lessons and slides; helping me to understand the material and making the more challenging parts relatable. I chose to do the one-on-one instruction, because that's what worked best with my schedule, but if you're considering home inspection, I whole heartedly endorse this program. You'll not only receive excellent training, but also an excellent teacher and friend. As an added bonus, the lifelong student concept is brilliant, and practically priceless. I cannot say enough good things about HITI."

"I took the two week in person Home Inspection Training Course. The classroom set up was very engaging. Steve provides everything you will need to complete the course and be comfortable. As an instructor, there is no one with more knowledge than Steve. The amount of information you are given is something one would expect from a college level course. Yet Steve has a way of breaking things down to make it completely comprehensible. The details he gives you are so precise it is as if you are on a walk through with him. He has slides, props and photos that glide you through with ease. I came in with basic knowledge of electrical, plumbing, and construction and he was able to teach me everything I needed to do an inspection. The online resources are invaluable and Steve is the only person I could recommend to do this course. I look forward of a lifetime of professional growth and give gratitude and respect to Steve"

"I came into the course wondering how much I would learn since I have been around construction for decades. I learned a lot, mainly that most of my experience is also decades old and oiutdated. You did a great job of presenting the material in an understandable way, and the instruction was interesting and not dry or monotonous at all. I feel it was of great value to me."

Daniels, WV
"I was a little unsure what to expect since I had past construction trade experience. I was very surprised and pleased with the material covered. Steve did a great job presenting the material in a efficient and effective way. Some of the training was a refresher for areas that I forgot or was taught wrong, but most was information that was brand new to me. Overall, the material, presentation, and resources are well worth the investment cost of the course"

"I have been intrigued about the home inspection profession for a long time. When my wife and I bought our house, the home inspector really cut corners and left us with more questions than answers. Steve taught this class on how to be a good inspector and to give their clients enough information to make a choice that will have an impacted on their life and their family for a long time to come. I feel this course and the material Steve provided me with will lead me in making that commitment to the client in helping them with this life change decision. Great course!"

"Awesome class! In the beginning I was not looking forward to giving up part of my weekend, but after we got into class I really enjoyed coming and going over the material. Plus we just had a good time joking around. The only recommendation that I would have would be better seats that maybe have a little recline to them. With that said, great class. I will be back for some CE. also referred a guy today to look into taking that class."
Thomas, 2017 Alumni

"I was a bit overwhelmed when I started looking online for courses to become a wv certified home inspector, so many websites and not enough info on them to convince me to enroll, UNTIL I come across HOME INSPECTOR TRAINING INSTITUTE. This website answered all of my questions and reservations I had about enrolling, when enrolled and class started, Steve was a wealth of knowledge, this guy has been a home inspector for awhile and really knows the business. I would encourage ANYONE looking to become a certified home inspector to give HITI in Cross Lanes WV a try [we are now in St. Albans WV] , I feel very good about completing Steves class and now with the info and knowledge he has provided I feel CONFIDENT headed to the National Exam."
Richard, 2019 Alumni
Marlinton, WV
"Having both a contracting and real-estate background, I didn't think a certified Home Inspection course could teach me much more than I already knew...Boy was I wrong!

I learned more than I bargained for. Steve's presentation is so organized and informative that it seemed effortless to follow along. Steve is a human encyclopedia of Home Inspection knowledge. Every question I asked (and there were a ton of them) was answered almost instantaneously.

Steve also has the inside track on how to set up a home inspection business, what software to use, and insight on the various trade organizations. The best thing is that once you are a student, you are a student for life. It's a great feeling to know that I have HITI in my hip pocket as I build my business! Thanks a million Steve!"
Chris, 2015 Alumni
Buckhannon, WV
"Steve is truly a gifted teacher. He inspired all of us and gave us both the technical knowledge and practical business information we needed. I was never ever bored. And just when the amount of information started to get overwhelming, he took us out for an actual inspection. As I followed him around the house, I thought, "Yeah, I got this. I'm prepared." I definitely want to continue to add to the knowledge base he gave me, but I am prepared because of this class. This was truly a wonderful experience. I feel much smarter than I did two weeks ago!"
Christi, 2016 Alumni
Berkeley Springs, WV
"As I mentioned to Steve after class one day, I was always a terrible student all through high school and college and was usually bored during any class, even subjects I liked. However, Steve's enthusiasm kept me interested and while studying the information each night, I realized I retained a lot of what was discussed each day, which surprised me."
Steve, 2016 Alumni
Martinsburg, WV
"Steve is not only a teacher. He is a mentor, coach, and most importantly a friend. I promise if you take this course you will be ready to start a new adventure with confidence and assurance that he'll be with you every step of the way. On a side note, It was an absolute pleasure to work with my classmates. Steve made it so comfortable so that we could be ourselves, no matter what background that we came from and we thrived on it. We all passed with flying colors and you will too! Thank ya'll from the bottom of my heart."

I feel much more secure about doing a home inspection now. I am very grateful for what I have learned. It was an amazing experience. He was the most intuitive instructor it has been my pleasure to learn from, online or otherwise."

"This class was by far the most organized and enjoyable class I have ever taken. At 43 years old I was apprehensive about how much I would be able to retain and how well I would test (it's been 20+ years since I tested). The course structure and practice tests we took daily, as well as home study, made it easy to learn and retain! Hats off to Steve for a top notch course! I recommend this class to any serious future home inspectors."
