Choose a home inspector based on HomeGauge Services
For agents, choosing a competent or better home inspector is no easy task. Once it was as easy as requiring them to belong to a national inspector association like ASHI, CAHPI, InterNACHI, NAHI and others. Now, many states require inspectors to be licensed and follow similar Standards of Practice (search now). So, it is more difficult for the agent to choose an inspector based solely on the inspector's affiliation. Agents want better service, better reporting, and more of a standard in reporting and delivery. Your criteria for the inspector should not only be higher than belonging to an association, but it should enable you to work more efficiently with the inspection process, including after inspection discussions with the listing agent and home seller. HomeGauge Services are designed to make this process easier and more consistent. Best of all, you get these benefits automatically when you use an inspector that uses HomeGauge Services.
Inspectors that use HomeGauge Services can provide better service to you and your client:
- Inspection Report: Produce an inspection report with pictures in an easily readable format. (samples) This includes a summary with pictures for a quick glance.
- Report Delivery: Deliver the report within 24 hours (same day preferred).
- Internet Ready Report: Provide the report securely on the Internet so it can be viewed, printed, or forwarded as a link fast and easily (not like a big, bulky and slow PDF attachment).
- Easy Report Forwarding: Allow easy forwarding for the agent with the buyer's permission.
- Report Storage: Store the report for the agent, and all future reports, with one password that allows the agent access to all of them from any computer with Internet access, anytime, anywhere.
- Inspector Qualifications: Put in your zip code to see inspectors and their qualifications. Make sure the inspector is either state licensed and/or belongs to a state or national association that has an established standards of practice (ASHI SOP, InterNACHI SOP, NAHI SOP CAHPI SOP).
- Added benefit for agents: All your reports will be stored for you as long as you use inspectors that use HomeGauge Services. This means that when a concerned buyer calls you while you're out of town, you can go to the hotel computer and get to your inspection reports by going to the inspector's site (or here) and sign in with one username and password.
- An agent can waste a lot of time trying to deliver big PDF attachments to multiple parties after the inspection. With HomeGauge Services, agents can forward the report with a link, fast and easy.
- Agents can keep their info beside the report where the client logs in to view the report.

Glenford Blanc's steady, thorough inspection pace, and his ability to put my clients at ease as he points out, and explains items outlined in the reports, wins raves every time-for him and for me for recommending him! Glen is an architect, which is really a plus to those clients who are thinking about tearing down a wall, or making some other architectural change.He has also provided thorough documentation on reinspections, in instances where the seller failed to complete repairs before settlement, as promised.
