"I find these reports informative, yet easy to read and understand;
very thorough, but to the point with no unnecessary material."
-Heather: Hinsdale, MA

QUOTE
"Other reports seem to have too little, too much or are too confusing for me. This one
gets the information to the buyer clearly and helps them understand it."
-Adam: Lakeside, GA

QUOTE
"Drew, congratulations on a very generic report that the Midwest can use. I've seen east coast and west coast reports which are biased to their location, but this one fits our needs. Thank you."
-Dan: Minneapolis, MN

QUOTE
"Drew, after completing the first dozen reports, I was amazed at the information I had given my clients. With my old reports, I had to write and write just to meet the ASHI requirements and my hand was always tired. When I was done with the first few reports, I kept leafing through to see if I had forgotten anything. I had not!  I finish my inspections sooner. Thanks, great report."
-Bill: Woodbury, CT


The advantages to our manual system include not only less time on site, but also clear and professionally printed figures and diagrams.

Durability: Our manual system will survive a drop from 2, 3, 10, even 20 feet. Our manual system has no batteries, hard drive, motherboard etc. which could die halfway through the inspection.

Finally, the comment we received that pretty much sums up the largest advantage to our system is:

"The manual system is more personal."
-Ted: RI

The Home Facts Handbook


The importance of the handbook to you is to promote your business and add credibility.

This book was written to help home buyers understand the different mechanics involving their home.

The book consists of 32 pages plus glossy cover.  The cover can be customized advertising your business.  You may also choose what goes into the space on the inside front and back cover, i.e. letter from you describing your services, etc.

Customize the back cover.  We suggest using it as a referral system, a directory of key services that would be useful to the home buyer.
You may choose to sell lines to those businesses to defray the cost of the books to you.

Distribute through real estate offices, attorneys, banks, mortgage companies and home buyers/sellers.  Leave one in each home inspected (many sellers will also be buying).  This book is much more impressive than a business card or brochure.
