Expert Answers Questions on How to Become a Home Inspector

BROOKFIELD, Wis., Oct. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Veteran home inspector Chris Chirafisi will answer the most commonly asked questions about the home inspection profession during his presentation, "Becoming a Home Inspector" Oct. 26 at the Remodeling Show, Deck Expo and JLC Live 2017 Trade Show and Conference in Nashville.

In his role as the product manager and technical training manager for American Home Inspectors Training by OnCourse Learning, Chirafisi has taught thousands of home inspectors throughout North America.

"Many people find working as a home inspector provides numerous career benefits," Chirafisi said. "Home inspectors can work either full-time or part-time and have control of the hours they want to work. Others find meeting new people and not being stuck at a desk appealing aspects of the profession."
