Thanks in advance...
Wendy, Justin sells Inspectvue so his Hi port comparison might be suspect.

Homegauge is easy to use Justin, and I say this as an Inspectvue user.

Hi Wendy,
I just looked at some sample reports at their website... The HI PORT reports are like reading "stereo installation" instructions compared to INSPECTVUE's smooth report writing style...

HI PORT looks confusing in its format.... Your clients want something that is simple to read...

Check out my Sample InspectVue Report at my website and compare for yourself. Go to my website: www.americandreamhomeinspection.net
Click on the LEFT under SAMPLE REPORT
Allow it a few moments to Download...
And just take a look at it. Its easy to read, You can HIGHLIGHT DEFECTS IN RED so they stand out, and it flows smoothly.

Let me know what you think...

Brian,
Home Guage uses "check boxes" and "symbols" to illustrate defects... and does not give the full description of the defect like InspectVue does... As mentioned in the previous reply, InspectVue is designed to protect you! And at the same time, its easy for clients to read...

If you don't believe me about InspectVue ask a neutral source (Inspector: Jeff Pope) He will give you an honest assessment regarding InspectVue.

Google "Scottsdale home inspection", I'm #1 click on my sample report, no check-boxes.....

Where did you see a report with check-boxes, must be from their old software 5-6 years ago.....

I'm going over the trial reports right now and I think it's very easy to use and easy to read.

Have you downloaded the trial of the software? It's pretty neat. For only $99 I think you can't go wrong and it's easily modified to include legal criteria etc.

Justin,
You are pushing this product a little hard. I completely disagree with you about Inspectvue. I've been using it for 8 months and there are a lot of things I don't like about it. I'm very dissapointed with it and pissed I spent $900. on it. I will be switching this winter. Technically it's very limiting, and very few of the narratives can be used as is. I'm not sure which school Mr. Swift got his PHD in English from but he needs an editor.
