Default Hi, anyone have any real world experience with this software?

http://www.hominspect.net/index.html

The price is right, but I'm not sure about the quality.
I was an inspector for 10 years and got out of the business in 2006.
Just getting back into the it now in another State, so they require me
to do all the training from scratch.

Looking for some inspection software and came upon the guys
above.

Thanks for your comments if you know about this software package.

P.S. I am strictly looking for comments from inspectors who have real world experience with it.

Greg

Any inspection report software that advertises how it produces "unbelievable" reports is probably telling the truth.

Greg
I would contact them and see if they have a demo version to try.

It looks like it is a combination of Office and possibly Excel. They may also have used Access for the database.

If that is what it is, $100.00 is cheap!
On the other hand, you can customize it. Look at the completed sample report.

Strange they do not offer a trial.
That says something about it right there.

Greg,
Why not stay with the software program you had when you left? Or did you use the Matrix system?

The program I used before was one I built myself from MS Word. It was starting to show it's age and the limit of my software capabilities.

More than likely I am headed toward HomeGauge....I have about 2 weeks to decide.
I will be a member of InterNACHI soon, as I believe it comes free when I get my insurance with GREIA. I need to be up and going with everything 3 weeks from today.

thanks to all those that replied
Greg
