| HouseFacks – Home Inspection
Reporting Software |
|
| Turn a one-time inspection into a lifetime client. |
|
| The HouseFacks Home Inspection Reporting Software, offered exclusively by HouseFacks.com, helps you provide unmatched service to your clients by becoming their consultant. This home inspection software does this while increasing your income, building a referral base and retaining your current clients. |
|
| The Home History Program was designed with the conscientious investor in mind. The biggest investment most people have is their home. Keeping their home free of problems is essential to maintaining the homes’ value. An automobile is one-tenth the value of a home. Most people spend hundreds of dollars a year to give their car a check-up, yet never have a check-up of their home. |
|
| Having a consultant come to the home on a regular basis and performing a standard list of services will allow the home owner an opportunity to catch small problems before they become big problems. At the same time a record of upgrades and improvements can be documented. This process will create an electronic file that tracks the home’s history from the point of your first inspection. |
|
| How the Home History Program Works |
|
| The Home History Program begins at the time of the initial inspection. This first record of the home’s condition serves as the baseline for the program. Simply by conducting business as usual, you have already completed the first step of the program. |
|
| At the time of the one-year anniversary, for a fee, you will return for a home check-up. During the check-up, you will document how the homeowner has corrected the concerns you found on the first inspection. Then, you will look for new concerns before they become big, expensive problems. And finally, you will record any new improvements to the home, such as a new furnace or new windows. |
|
| This customized check-up could include checking the following: |
|
| 1. Roof |
| 2. Attic |
| 3. Plumbing leaks |
| 4. Carbon readings on furnace |
| 5. Smoke detector batteries |
| 6. Dryness of basement |
| 7. Radon test |
| 8. Termite inspection |
| 9. Mold |
|
|
| When using HouseFacks.com, the easiest Internet-based home inspections reporting software, you will create a new check-up report that includes photographs, documenting: |
|
| 1. The condition of any concerns from the original report |
| 2. Improvements made to the home since the initial inspection |
| 3. Any new concerns found during the follow-up inspection |
|
|
| Each year, you will return to the home for a check-up. By continuing to document the condition of the home, year after year, you will create a history of the house, in a paperless, Internet-based format. Each subsequent year’s check-up report will be added to the bottom of the initial home inspection report. |
|
| Home Inspectors Profit |
|
| The HouseFacks Home History Program is an innovative way for home inspectors to build a recurring client base in an industry that typically relies solely on bringing in new business. |
|
| The Home History Program can provide financial security by allowing you to: |
|
| 1. Enhance the net worth of your business by creating an asset client base |
| 2. Generate additional income from each client on a yearly basis |
| 3. Create residual income from existing clients, which will be especially beneficial when new business slows |
| 4. Increase your referrals from realtors |
| 5. Become a consultant to your clients |
|
|
| The Program allows you to establish a client-base foundation, enabling you to grow your business. An annual check-up can be completed in about half the time it takes to complete an initial inspection and the cost to the homeowner is proportional. |
|
| The Home History Program is available exclusively to members of the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors. |
|
| Now, let me show you what the Home History Program can do for your bottom line. Look at how the numbers can add up. These figures are based on converting 50% of your inspections to Home History Clients with a $150.00 fee for the check-up. |

| The chart above represents what can happen to your income if you never increase your monthly market share, doing 20 inspections on average a month for a 6 year period of time. Because you will now be operating as a consultant and have an ongoing relationship with your client base, your referrals will increase over time. Also you are creating a residual income stream that will be guaranteed income even when new inspections slow down. This residual income stream is looked at by accountants as an asset and will increase the value of your company. If you sell your company, now you will be paid not only for the Goodwill of your company but also for your client base. |
