This educational programming is in-person only

Education House

This on-site inspection training event is comprised of 2 parts - a peer review in the morning, followed by a rotation training in the afternoon.

This training will be conducted in a home in the Green Bay area that WAHI has obtained for this program. This portion of the educational programming will not be available online.

Part 1: Peer Review - Friday Morning

This peer review is an opportunity for you to evaluate and refine your inspection skills with the aid of a panel of your peers, rather than a person in a black robe and a big “hammer” (a.k.a., gavel). Results are kept completely confidential.

Participants will have two hours to complete their inspection and need to bring their own tools - electrical panels will already be removed, ladders in place, cover off the furnace, etc. to aid with the limited time. Upon completion participants will present their findings and their completed report to a Peer Reviewing Team, as if to a client - the inspectors doing the reviews have inspected the house and identified defects.

Registrants will be emailed a report form prior to the training to complete during the inspection process. Participants may print the form in advance and bring the hard copy to complete onsite or fill out the report on their electronic device. There will be “must find, must report” items the Review Team will be looking for in your report. They will be focusing on the identification of major defects, not issues such as windows or doors sticking. During the inspection process communication between participants will be discouraged - this event is intended to help participants evaluate their personal skill level.

This program is strictly in-person and space is limited, register early to secure your spot! If you have not yet attended this program during past training events, I encourage you to check it out this year - this is a program that has been very well-received each and every time!

The morning session is worth 3 continuing education credits.

Part 2: Inspection Training - Friday afternoon

The afternoon session is a rotation training at the same property. Experienced contractors and trades professionals will be posted throughout the house in numerous locations to provide approximately 50-minute presentations on how to inspect various systems and components. For this program, were planning to cover roofing, electrical, HVAC and on the job safety presented by OSHA. Participants will rotate in small groups from one area/presenter to the next area/presenter.

The afternoon training will take place from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm and will be worth 4 continuing education credits. Space is limited; register early to ensure your participation.

WAHI Spring 2026 Residential Building Systems (22 Apr 2026)

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 14:00:00 GMT

WAHI Spring 2026

Residential Building Systems Training Course

A Course Designed Specifically for Realtors

Wednesday, April 22 and Thursday, April 23

Greater Milwaukee Association of Realtors (GMAR)

11430 W. North Avenue, Wauwatosa, WI 53226

Taking a class on home systems empowers Realtors to speak with confidence and credibility during every stage of a transaction.

By understanding how major systems like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and roofing work - and how to recognize common issues - Realtors can better explain inspection findings, answer client questions clearly, and set realistic expectations.

This knowledge not only reduces uncertainty and stress but also builds trust with buyers and sellers, positioning the Realtor as a knowledgeable advisor rather than just a facilitator. This program will raise your self-assurance when discussing necessary repairs with a contractor as well.

Over the course of the 2days, the instructors will address all the primary systems in a home to help you recognize red flags and “big ticket” repairs to the benefit of your clients and save you

valuable time by not rewriting offers!

Wednesday, April 22nd

Classroom Training

The classroom portion delivers a clear, practical understanding of major home systems, how to interpret inspection findings, report requirements, and Wisconsin Home Inspection Standards of Practice.

Thursday, April 23rd

Field Training and Certification

In the morning, attendees will tour a home with an experienced inspector, who will point out key items to watch for when previewing or showing a home, including the severity of potential red flags. Before leaving, the group will review this home’s specifics to prepare for the afternoon certification test at the GMAR office.

For the afternoon, the group will return to the GMAR office for lunch, the certification test, and distribution of completion certificates.

All participants must preregister as space is limited –

no on-site registrations.
