"How to Write a Better Home Inspection Report"

By George Wells, BSEE, MBA, CMI

Whether you are an experienced inspector who has done thousands of inspections or your are a new inspector just getting started in the home inspection business, you will be writing better inspection reports after you read this book.

The techniques you will learn from the book will help you write better reports and you will write your reports more efficiently.  Your reports will be more effective than ever before.  Your clients and real estate agents will be happy because they will be able to read and understand your reports.  You will be happy because you will have happy clients, you'll get more business, you'll stay out of court, and you'll make more money.

This is not another course about English grammar!  We keep grammar, style and usage to a minimum.  This workshop is about report writing techniques, the psychology of report writing, and the legal aspects of report writing.  These are techniques that you will be able to use on your very next inspection.

Regardless of how you write your reports, you will be able to use the techniques you will learn from the book.  The techniques you will learn are not based on the use of any particular brand of home inspection report software.
