TOPIC: NOVAhi new SAMPLE REPORT - Residential

Yes good point, I need to add it to the Sample Reports page I'll do it later tonight.

Serge,
As mark and I asked earlier, Any chance in you posting the template? I think that both our markets are not in direct competition with yours. I'm very impressed with your template as I'm sure Mark is as well. I am having a difficult time designing a template that works for me. (prior InspectVue user) and yours may be just what I'm looking for. If you choose not to post your template, I understand, but just wanted to inquire.

Andrew

I want to thank you all for the positive comments.  Here is the sample NOVAhi Pre-Purchase Report again, with a bit of subtle changes recommended by Dominic.  And also, here is a sample of a NOVAhi Pre-Listing Report which I just completed.

The major difference in a pre-listing report is:
1. The Executive Summary page, the NOTE wording is different—reflecting that this page can be used as a “punch-list” by the owner/client.
2. Therefore, more items/deficiencies are inserted in the “RED” section because the owner hired me to list all of the issues that need attention to help make the house more appealing for prospective buyers.
3. As such, the inspector will list more cosmetic items for example, that normally are not inserted/listed in a pre-purchase home inspection report.

As far as posting my Template--I am posting it next -- within 24 hours 

Know this:  IT's NEVER ABOUT DIRECT COMPETITION!  We need to help each other--that's why we are part of the HIP family. There is plenty of work to go around.  Our best advertizing is the Report we produce.  That's when the Client realizes it was money well spent.  In my opinion, it's all about CONTENT and READABILTY -- not just filling squares on a report form. Enough about my soap box.  ;D

It's taking me some time. I also want to give you the color scheme (color numbers), and explain how I use some of my comments.  I've been writing a couple of reports lately and my Template is a "moving target" -- I'm always adding to it and fiddling with it.

Also if you need my "Documents", I can post those also.  BTW  Email or call me ANYTIME with any questions.

"Stand by for news."

Serge, it was a pleasure to chat with you this afternoon.
Believe it or not, I was under my truck, changing the shocks,
when you called. 
And I enjoyed the break, and look forward to seeing the template.

Thank you for all your help to us new HIP users...  ;D

Serge, thanks again for sharing your great looking report. You're 100% correct about the attitude we're trying to create here. This is one large team, inspectors helping other inspectors, not competing against each other. There's a reason we haven't followed in the footsteps of the other vendors and charged extra money for additional templates within the software. We want guys to feel free to share what they've made and help each other out.

This philosophy is getting to the point that several inspectors in Chicago are looking at creating an umbrella company name for marketing themselves as a larger company and sharing expenses but still operating individually. They're using their Home Inspector Pro reports to give themselves a consistent look.

Hmmm that's not a bad idea if you set up the ground rules right!  I wonder how they are working out the details???
