Default Spelling Error

Just did an inspection, spelled checked and proofed about 4 times. Sent it off to the client then while saving the report to a disk found out water softener was spelt softner. Now what. Does anyone think this will hurt my company? I haven't gotten a phone yet about the report.

Default Re: Spelling Error

no worries, I see misspelled words in every single report I have ever read.


Just try not to use the word terminate because many people only scan the report and they will call you and ask where are the termites. I think Mike R. had this occur to him, someone told me about that the other day.

Steven -

I think the guys are holding back to save your feelings.

If I was a client OR RE agent, I wouldn't call you / I'd just assume you were careless AND either NEVER use you again OR if I was the commissioned RE agent decide I LIKE you a lot cause you miss stuff.

IMHO

Just heard back from the client. They said being that I'm originally from NY they could understand that I spell like I talk and then they made fun of me. Could have been worse.
