We are looking for approximately 20 Home Inspectors to test out our Premium version for a beta test that we are targeting to start on May 31st, 2011.


You could not find 20 inspectors willing to do this as of yet?
Gee I wonder why?

We have had a lot of responses, and have sent us emails stating they were interested but have not replied to our responses. So I wanted to post this separately from the other post on the message board.

Just out of curiosity, Mr. Herrera...how many of the used house salesmen who are using your site provided you with three references from home inspectors?

James,

As we do not know each and everyone personally we simply want to make sure that any beta testers who are providing feedback have generally good reputations. Since we will be collecting the input and making potential decisions on changes based on the user feedback/input. It is, unfortunately, a requirement for the beta group that the input come from Home Inspectors who are seen as reputable and Quality Home Inspectors.

Our main purpose is to take the some of the tools that we have initially developed and collect feedback from Real users and further refine how things work based on that input.

We are always interested in hearing your likes, dislikes ideas on what you would be interested in. This beta group simply provides a way to allow for a more condensed input.

We've already received some great input and are truly appreciative.

I'll put that down as a "None of them", then. Thanks.

The target for this input is primarily Home Inspectors. We have not asked for participation in the beta directly from Realtors. If there are Realtors who wish to participate, the Requirement for them is the same.

Jeff,
Most Realtors would not know what a good inspector is, let alone what a home inspection is. Sad but true.

That is very true James, however, on the bright side it does provide an opportunity to teach them. Sounds like a corny response, but anything you can provide to a Realtor to help them speak more intelligently with their clients usually comes back in your favor.

I have held their heads under water and it still does not seem to help.
