The  Home for Home Improvements!

     Homecheck Reports offers Home Inspectors a way to expedite their reports so clients may be emailed results within minutes after an inspection.  When a realtor and their clients want to finish their deals, the last thing they want to do is wait on a home inspection!  That is why Homecheck Reports was created.  We want to help the Home Inspector offer accurate and detailed inspection reports quickly in a competitive field.   This new program now offered by Homecheck.com is convenient, easy to use and offers detailed, in-depth reports for clients.  We have reviewed Home Inspectors' needs and worked to develop a program to help inspectors complete their jobs quickly and efficiently.  We know Home Inspectors need a mobile office at an inexpensive rate.  This month, we want to take a moment to introduce this great new program!

     HOW IT WORKS:

1. Inspector may use a laptop or tablet PC with internet connection at the inspection site to create their reports.
    
2. After logging in, the inspector can either edit an existing report or create a new one.  Past reports are listed by name but may also be searched using month and year if necessary.
    
3. Once in the report, the inspector may choose from different tab headings which include a long list of items to be inspected and comment areas.  This picture shows the tab headings:
   
    
4. There are both scroll boxes and drop down selection boxes (for commonly seen items) that allow for quick and easy input of all observations.  Text boxes also allow narrative reporting with 'rich text editing' so users may adjust font type, size, color, etc.  This also allows the inclusion of hyperlinks, tables and many other features you would get from a word program.  In addition to all this, the user may also import text information with desired formatting directly from a word document.  Inspection companies can cut and paste helpful charts or tables for clients within a couple clicks.  Inspectors have more possibilities to provide rich content for their clients.  Here is an example of the database interface from the 'Basement & Fireplaces' section:
   
   *The scroll boxes only show two choices in this snapshot.  However, the user may scroll through many more choices when logged into the program.
    
5. Pictures may be added to the report.  An inspector may add pictures of the home to the report headings or sub headings.  Inspectors have the option to be more specific and add pictures to each bulleted section of the report.  For example, a picture can be added with the comments about the crawl space to help clarify any concerns or observations.
    
6. After each section is submitted, the information is uploaded via the Internet into the secure database.  This allows for immediate reports.  Once the inspection is done, the inspector may choose to save, print or email the report directly to the client.  Here is an example of the report a client would receive: Report Sample 1.
    
7. An inspection ledger on reports allows clients quick reference for problem areas using a quick color guide:
   
    
8. Quick turn around time on reports give inspectors the chance to take their clients through flagged areas on the report.  However, the reports are also easy to read giving the realtor and clients easy reference points in case they were not able to be present at the actual inspection.  In easily understanding the report, clients can feel confident they have the information they need to continue their purchase with sound information.
