HomeGauge Server Upgrade
The HomeGauge server will be down for a short time this Sunday while we make room for more growth! Our existing server is currently reaching its capacity due to the record growth and happy Gold and Platinum service users. The expected down time is expected to occur Sunday morning and should not take more than 4 hours. Sunday morning is by far our lowest traffic time. Monday morning should be business as usual, with a new, more powerful server supporting your needs.

NACA is a 10 billion dollar lender that requires every home loan to have an inspection. NACA requires the inspector to use a special HomeGauge/NACA version which is free. To sign up, go to NACA.com http://www.naca.com/partners/registration/step1.jsp
If you don’t have E&O insurance, then type in the box “I don’t have E&O.” While it is recommended, it is not a requirement of NACA. You must type something in the box for E&O or it will not allow you to complete the sign up.

End Collections Now!
Do any of your customers owe you money? Have you ever not been paid for an inspection? 100 percent of your collections is eliminated when you use our credit card service. Save hundreds or thousands of dollars by switching over now. Here’s why:
- We wrote special software code allowing you to Force Payment before the customer is allowed to view the report. Upload the report as usual, but check the Force Payment checkbox and enter in the amount owed for the inspection. Then when the client or agent tries to view the report, a friendly message appears that says…."There is an unpaid balance of $400 on this inspection. Please click the Pay Now button to view your report."
- $7.50 a month (That’s all)
- Approximately 2.x percent charge when someone uses the service.
- No other hidden fees once you sign up (excludes setup and activation fee).
Sign in to www.HomeGauge.com and click on the "PROCESS CREDIT CARDS" link and get started now!
See you next month,
