Hi all,

My name is Eric Deeter and I am starting a new home inspection compnay. I was wondering what everyone who uses home gauge thinks about it? I have pretty much decided this is the software I will be using and will be ordering it today. Any input would be great.

I will be sending in my membership for NACHI today also!

I can't say enough good things about the software and the folks at HomeGauge.

The software is state of the art, and so are the people there.

I highly recommend their products!

It looks like everyone loves homegauge. I have looked at the tutorials and found them helpfull in making my decission. What I am having trouble with is the best way to go concerning the hardware. I would like it as simple as possible, and of course reasonably priced. ANY SUGGESTIONS???

Thanks everyone. Looks like it is going ot be a good choice. I have ordered it and will let you know. Also, I am now a member of the NACHI family and I look forward to getting a great new business up and running.

Hi John,

I have suggestions. One is to purchase the pocket pc version of the software along with a pocket pc. HG recommends the Dell Axim 51v. I timed the purchase when it was on sale at a 25% discount. The pocket version of the software is intended to be used in concert with the standard HomeGauge reporting software. You complete the inspection report on a laptop or desktop pc. Results may vary but I've cut about 30 minutes off reporting time right out of the box.
