I sent Nick an email at fastreply to define duel membership, but he's not so fast tonight.

Kind of a slap in the face...as a NACHI member.

The only reason I joined ASHI is for the brand recognition. Other than that, their useless!

Contrary to what you think we don't put "everything else" on the back burner except for software improvements. We are working on many new services. While we do have some office features, it remains our weakest strength as most users rely on QuickBooks or are satisfied by our current stats and limited office features. To point out to viewers that we do integrate with QuickBooks. An agent or office person can schedule the inspection online. The inspector can download the appointment directly into his reports and it will automatically populate the fields. He then can export out to Quickbooks and never has to type in the info a single time.

HG is awesome! Congrats on your success, Russell. You deserve it

I'll be looking forward to seeing the enhancements for the Calendar.

While I am a member of ONLY NACHI, I have to agree with you. You pay NACHI dues just like everyone else.

As many of our vendors and providers have come to learn, generally speaking --- NACHI "affilliates" (as we are officially known, instead of "members") expect free stuff and are unwilling to pay for many things.

Homeguage Software is on the market and has been for many years...and I suppose that his close ties with NACHI (as a marketing decision) has also closed other doors.

Nick would have us to believe that our membership in ASHI is, in his words, "unethical", and seems to be using this promotion to reward Homeguage for its loyalty to NACHI while driving home his point that we should abandon our ASHI memberships in favor of NACHI.

I suppose that, if business is so bad that you cannot afford to be in it...exclusive NACHI membership will help maintain the illusion of success and, in that regard, makes sense.

Mark, that is a tough sell!

I'm already a HG user, but I would much rather get a 1k dollar piece of software for free than buy HIP.

It's a no brainer. There are many HI's that are struggling to survive in this market and therefore cannot afford spending 1k on new software.

This is a great benefit to those who take it.

Kevin

ps....not knocking HIP, it's a nice program.

[William M. Corbett]

I have had several issues with my current software in the past. I have tried HG but have'nt been able to fork out the cash. Thank you Nick and HG!

[Tyler Knelsen]

Thanks Nick! I'm looking forward to using HomeGauge.

[mdeluca]

I'm a new member, joined today, and I'd be interested in the software. I currently use a filemaker based program.

I called and emailed... left a message on Nick's VM... I have a trial version here and would love to upgrade... looking forward to it...

[Erol Kartal]

This is a great deal for the lucky 100 as Home Gauge is a fine software. However, free does not mean better. Let's not forget that Dominic's HIP software is excellent, even if you need to pay for it.

WOW! Nick is always helping out! Just left you a message and hope I get to make the switch myself

Thanks Nick!

Any left. I'll take one.
