OK, so the question is are you certified or qualified? So what does it mean to be certified.
Certified refers to the confirmation of certain characteristics of an object, person, or organization.
To be certified recognizes a certain professional association or professional regulatory organization as possessing the appropriate credentials. There are allot of certifications today, you could be "Board Certified", obtain a "Certified Copy", have a "Certified Check", be a "Certified Public Accountant". The word is used so much anymore that one would have to wonder who is truly the best person for the job.
Certification is truly a great asset to the person who obtains this title, it let's us all know he or she is licensed and has the proper education required to perform the duties expected from them. Would you hire the person who is qualified or certified?
Qualified refers to meeting the proper standards, requirements and training for an office, position or task.
You could be qualified but not certified, can you be certified but not qualified? Does that mean that you are not prepared to perform the tasks at hand? You could be "pre-qualified", or have a "qualified HMO plan", or be a "qualified Home Inspector or Realtor". People in this profession are known as GOOD, BETTER, BEST. OK, sometimes POOR, but what makes us all qualified? What makes some of us Certified?
Picking a Home Inspector is a big decision to protect possibly the largest investment in you, or your clients life. I think it is unmentionable to pass up on a $250 - $350 Pre-Listing or Pre-Purchase Home Inspection for a $250,000.00 investment. Make sure your Home Inspector is QUALIFIED AND CERTIFIED and they will give you their very best.
Qualified/Certified, together you get competent, suited, meeting the standard, met the requirements, approval, members, educated, knowledge, skilled, professional, endorsed, licensed, genuine, vouched for, ethical, and standard of practice followed and trustworthy. I'm sure you can think of many more.
