About Mark Kollath
I, Mark Kollath, IL license # 450.002293, am based in Chicago. I am a qualified
NACHI inspector offering myself for your consideration. I am fully insured for liability
and E&O, and I produce a computer generated report in PDF format with digital
photos and a summary page, easy to read and understand, usually delivered within
24 hours.This allows my clients to transmit the report to all concerned parties
immediately. I enjoy my work, but have a no- nonsense attitude about client service.
Read the contract on my contact page. It spells out my services in detail and does
not refer to a remote web site or any other material outside of itself. Your report is
your property and I will not tender it to any party not specified in writing by you. I am
not working for your real estate agent and I will not sell you home repairs, alarm
systems, or an appliance warranty. I will not limit the scope of my inspection to save
you money, but I will not sell you services I don't believe you need.
I service the area from Chicago North through Lake County.
I am proud to let my own name stand for the work I do.

Licensing of home inspectors only sets a minimum standard. Much like being up to
code, any less would be illegal. That is why I have worked to become a member of
the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI). As a NACHI member, I:
● Pass NACHI’s Online Inspector Examination annually. This general, not association-
specific exam is an industry standard required by NACHI and some state licensing
boards,
●Adhere to the industry’s largest, most comprehensive Standards of Practice,
●Abide by NACHI’s Code of Ethics,
●Follow a strict continuing education policy that requires, among other things, that I
receive 24 hours of continuing education each year,
●Have completed NACHI’s ethics “obstacle course which ensures that I am aware of
my ethical duties as a home inspector,
●Have passed NACHI’s Standards of Practice Quiz,
●Have signed and submitted an affidavit legally agreeing that I have and will continue
to adhere to all NACHI standards, ethics, and education requirements,
●Maintain a continuing education log that is verified by NACHI,
●Submit a portion of my inspection reports to NACHI’s report review committee for
outside evaluation,
●Successfully completed NACHI’s comprehensive Standards of Practice course and
examination, Roofing course and examination, and Electrical course and examination,
●Attend at least one chapter meeting or educational seminar every two years,
●Have access to the Inspector’s Quarterly so I can keep up-to-date on all the latest
issues in the home inspection industry,
●Have access to a free report review and mentoring service, and
●Provide access to a free consumer hot-line.
If you need a home inspection performed, don't settle for anything less than a
NACHI-certified home inspector. Contact me now to schedule your inspection.
