Charles, if you tried HIP you would not be making such a rash statement.

How much does Home gage cost?
HIP is only $399.

I can't understand spending more on anything not as good.

You guys could still plug for both of those softwares without trashing either one.

I agree. There's several really good inspection programs out there. Some of it just comes down to personal taste or a particular feature that causes an inspector to choose one or another. Either way a lot of time and effort goes into the programs.

That being said, don't Bob and Linas seem to fight with each other more like husband and wife? It must be a Chicago thing.

Personally I think it's great having a variety of programs that inspectors can feel comfortable with and build a loyalty to. Kinda like Ford guys and Chevy guys. Love my HG... sorry couldn't help it

[Dominic J. Maricic]

No problem Robert. I totally agree. It's good for the end inspector in the long run. If there was only one program they'd end up being lazy. Multiple programs makes us work harder to put in new features to gain business (although the opposite of too many would make us all go broke as their is a small pool of inspectors to work from). In the end it should make things easier on you guys.

Ford or Chevy?

It is HIP to use HIP

Mr. Elliott,

I'm considering buying Home Inspector Pro. Have you ever used Report Host? Is the two night and day? If so how?

Thanks
Bill

Hi Billy
In all seriousness I have my free 15 copies of Report Host and have never used on for a real report.

Nothing against it for $5 a report when starting out, but I find there is a lack of control in how your final product looks, and how your sections are ordered.
i am a control freak and like many of us do not wish my report to be like your report.
I want it to have my Inspection personality.
I want it to be fast(especially with downloading pictures
Billy I download 200 photos faster than you can count and put them in proper system and componant sections with a click.
I have control of font color and size.
Report host is dependant on live web and sometimes goes down.(Iknow because it happened to me while practicing with it.
I have deadlines and there is no way I can handle a dead link.
When you wish to change font on Report host , you gott put in your own Html code wich is something that is not worth the time and effort.

Lets face it that the docs links they provide are a little panzy.

I use my own.
Report host does not go to PDF very well either as it has no real page breaks.

Just go on my site and see a sample.
Sorry as it is old and I may need to update , but it still gives you a good idea why I love it.

Nice slogan I think that makes you a hippie.

I know, he's almost 3,000 miles away. Oh wait, you inferring the Chicago mob travels this far? Damn, first it was the Jersey mob with Russ, now the Chicago guys!
