About MAREI

The Missouri Association of Real Estate Inspectors (MAREI) is a nonprofit, voluntary organization of professional real estate inspectors. Formed in 2002, MAREI provides education, training and support services to its members and the real estate community. MAREI inspector members typically follow the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice of either NAHI, ASHI or NACHI which are the 3 largest and most well known national home inspection associations, and are considered the standard of care by the real estate industry and legal profession in the state. Senior MAREI Inspector Members have successfully passed the comprehensive written Home Inspector Exam of either NAHI, ASHI or NACHI. These exams cover the wide spectrum of systems and components in the construction and maintenance of residential dwellings.

Education & Training

MAREI’s educational goal is to expand the technical knowledge of its members through networking with other professional inspectors and continuing education. Professional MAREI Home Inspectors must complete a minimum 16 hours of continuing education annually (or more if membership in their national association requires this). Educational credits can be obtained through quarterly MAREI educational meetings, chapter meetings of NAHI, ASHI or NACHI, college seminars, National Association conferences, and other MAREI approved sources. MAREI membership programs encourage the sharing of experience and knowledge resulting in betterment for the home inspection profession and the consumer public, which it serves.
