TESTIMONIALS
“These narratives give you a choice in how to say it, while working to protect you. This is the best narrative library available anywhere. Many thanks to Kenton for his years of work.”
-Nick Gromicko, Founder of InterNACHI and CCPIA
"I can say with certainty that Kenton’s library is a critical tool for preventing risk and providing excellent service to an inspector’s clients. We encourage our insured inspectors to use this product to help them eliminate client confusion and to better assist their clients in making purchasing decisions.”
-Joe Denneler, General Counsel and Chief Claims and Risk Management Officer for Elite MGA, LLC
“I just finished my first report using the new narratives. I shaved about 2 hours off my report writing time. With the basic HG I had to develop a lot of my own narratives as I went. Now I just pick and click for the most part. If you are new to the business, like me, this is a bargain for all the time you will save developing your own narratives. Thanks Kenton!”
-Frank Rotte, Certified Inspection Services, San Diego CA
”Kenton: I avoided buying your collection of report narratives simply because I didn’t like the price. That was a big mistake. I finally gave in and spent the money and wanted to let you know I think this collection of report narratives is a masterwork that is well worth every penny. Not only is this an invaluable tool for report writing, it is also a complete lesson in how to perform a thorough home inspection. As a home inspector, I want to avoid reinventing the wheel and get right down to business, doing exceptional inspections and writing exceptional reports. This tool will help me do exactly that. Thanks for the grand effort!”
-Mike Murphy , Mike Murphy Inspections
“I just received it last week and for one starting out, I would highly recommend it. Save you a lot of time coming up with your own narratives. As usual, Kenton did a great job!”
-Marcel Cyr, Cyr Home and Commercial Property Inspections
"This template is worth every penny!! This template is overwhelming and full of rich information. This is exactly what I was looking for in a template for my inspections. Thank you so much for your hard work in providing this wonderful information. This will save me so much time and headache. I am looking forward in using the template to its full potential."
-Thomas (TJ) Cole, TJ Cole Home Inspections, LLC
"Kenton was a massive help in helping me solve an issue I had. He personally called and emailed me as soon as he received my cry for help. The customer service I received on his template was amazing. The problem ended up not being on his end, but rather on the reporting software cloud service side. I would, without a doubt, purchase from him again. I would give 5 out of 5 stars!"
-Jebadiah Ralston Under the Sun Home Inspections
"Wow... I should have done this months ago. It is like night and day compared to what I built for myself in my other software. The combination of your structure/narratives and Spectora's capabilities is incredible. I'm going to reinspect my house tomorrow to get a good feel for this. Kenton, what a ton of value you have delivered to my business and future clients. I feel guilty for not having purchased sooner."
