With Elite Level Home Inspection Real estate agents and customers can create a Repair/Request list (or project list) directly from the inspection report and attach it to their repair addendum form! HomeGauge's Create Request List™ feature makes this process easy for the agent and home buyer! HomeGauge's Create Request List™ feature is very easy to use and is engaging to the customer and agent, bringing a sense of progress and accomplishment as they create their list from the inspection report. This saves time, creates a standardization, and we time stamp what requests were made and by whom — the customer and agent can work on the same Repair Request List! This reduces liability for the agent, buyer, and seller by establishing an ID and history in the creation of the document. Agents are loving it! Buyers and agents can use it for free when they use Elite Level Home Inspection!
