Welcome aboard Terry, you'll find that being a Nachi member has all kinds benefits and almost everyone here are very helpful. I recently joined a few months ago and wished I'ld had a couple years ago when I first started inspecting.
I use the Carson Dunlop's Horizon report and find that it is excellent and helps produce a great report. They have just recently upgraded it and it is even more user friendly than before. You can check it out here http://www.carsondunlop.com/horizon/...Interface.html



a wise man once told me, "life is short, so learn from your mistakes, but more importantly learn from others mistakes as well because you don't have time to make them all yourself"

Regards,

Mark

Two questions:

1) Has anyone recently done a fairly comprehensive and objective review of the reports software available?

2) Does anyone use ReportHost - the online reports software that you paid for on a 'per use ' basis? Something like that would seem to be pretty ideal at least for the new inspector.

TIA

The newbie inspector on House Dectives did. He sent out an email a while back. I think his name is Steve Ramos, a NACHI member.

There are many quality software products. I use HomeGauge because I can produce a very professional narrative report with pictures in less than one hour. With my typing skills that's quick.
