Are You Seeking to Ride Along With an Experienced Inspector?

 

 

We realize how hard it is to get an experience inspector to take time out of their day to allow someone to ride along to get real-life experience.

 

During this opportunity you will be trained to diagnose foundations, analyze mechanical, electric and plumbing applications.  The instructor will also show you his step-by-step process for inspecting a home, tricks of the trade and report writing verbiage which takes years to perfect!

 

This exclusive opportunity is limited to the first SIX INSPECTORS per day.  Just choose the day that works best with your schedule.

April 1st, 2012, in this issue:
HG Version 5 and HG Companion for Android | New Features | Upgrading | Android Special

 

HomeGauge Version 5 and the new HG Companion for Android have been released!A new feature in HomeGauge 5 is upsetting the home inspection industry! With the new Geterdone feature you can now inspect the entire home while never getting out of your truck!

This new feature can save countless hours that ordinary inspectors have to endure. No more dirty coveralls and no tools needed! Just open the HomeGauge Version 5 software (must be within 20 feet of the front door) and select the Geterdone button! That’s it! It’s that simple. HG Version 5 does the rest! See what a few beta users have already said:

(*requires an Internet connection)

So if you or your grandma wants to inspect homes effortlessly, all you need to do is click on the Geterdone button and sit back and relax. Catch up on that Facebook page you’ve been neglecting and let HomeGauge Version 5 do all the work! Thanks HomeGauge Version 5!

Note: You may experience different results. The Geterdone button is still in beta and may not appear in the final release of Version 5.

Happy April 1st! A wonderful rebirth has begun!

More Outrageous Claims! Unbelievable Features!

Video in your report! HomeGauge V5 (or should I say HG 5V — “V” is for video) is once again ahead of the competition! Now, using HG Services, you can turn your report into an Inspection Presentation! All others have to produce the same old inspection report.

Check out the New InterNACHI theme | Alternate

Expanding pictures! When your buyer and agent view your Inspection Presentation online they can click to enlarge inspection photos! The wow effect once again helps you to stand out from your local competition.

Also, HG’ers in your area that do NOT use HG Services are unable to give their agents or customers the wow effect of videos and expanding pictures because they use a boring government-looking document writer called PDF. I told you long ago that PDF’s suck. Am I right? Those that use HG Services can deliver a powerful Inspection Presentation and their agents and customers can still save it as a PDF.

Easier report navigation! When a table of contents is included with your uploaded html report, a navigation tab will automatically appear, giving your customers and agents an easy way to jump to different sections of the report. It’s just another benefit of using online html reports and helps your Inspection Presentation stand apart from all the rest!

Cloud Services free to HG Services subscribers! Instead of using cables or usb drives to swap files around, use the hassle-free way… the HG Services Cloud feature. Move reports from PC to PC. Or move reports from Android to PC or PC to Android. Move templates and settings to all with one click. Inspectors that have someone else complete their reports will love the Cloud feature. It’s now included FREE for our HG Services subscribers! The Cloud feature…it just works.

Automatic backup of your settings now hassle free! Your life just got easier. Now, when your computer crashes, or you buy a new one, you can set the other computer up with one click! (logo, template, customers, agents, print settings and more) If you use HG 5 you will be prompted once a month to back up your settings. It takes less than a minute and will easily save you an hour or more! Now that you know, we will expect you to use it. If not, we will send you to the manual steps on our FAQ page. Support for transferring HomeGauge settings to a new computer will be offered in our online documentation and not over the phone. HG Services just keep getting better and better and we have never raised our prices since we started HG 10 years ago. If you are not using HG Services…Why not?

New print looks in HG 5!

HG has always produced the best looking report and now we have touched up all our print formats and styles to keep your report (or Inspection Presentation) the most talked about among agents. HG Version 5 gives you Stand-Out Status!

See our new Sample Report below in a few styles / formats. Many more choices are available in the software.

Modern Green, Narrative 1

Green, Narrative 1

Modern Gradient, Narrative 1

Black, Narrative 2

Blue, Grid 1

Orange, Grid 3

Brown, Grid 3

Patriotic, Narrative 4 (photos at end of each section)

Note: HG Version 5 gives you many customization options to have a report look that is all your own. More info on creating your own look coming soon.

Overview:

 

8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

 

House framing involves all the methods and materials used to create the structure of the home. It includes the foundation, walls, ceilings, roof, decks, openings and any other part of the home that must support weight. Most house framing is only visible from unfinished areas. This makes it difficult to spot defects unless you have a solid knowledge of framing. Join speaker J.D. Fuller as he presents this new FRAMING course to our local chapter. 

 

Lunch WILL be provided courtesy of Larry Battarbee with Battarbee Insurance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We realize you have many options when choosing an education provider.  TAREI is proud to offer quality education in a classroom setting.  You will learn things here that you will never learn behind the screen of a computer.  Come experience the difference!
