### "Spectora Home Inspection Software"

March 7, 2023

4.0

Satisfied

Pros

I love the simplicity of spectora. The results are a well organized & very professional looking report. The ability to supply client with short video has been an asset to our company (when pictures don't say enough). Spectora offers great customer service and tech support. I have always received an immediate response from the tech team. Thank you guys. Keep up the good work.

Cons

personal info doesn't save, such as my home inspectors license number.

### "Spectora = Success!"

July 16, 2020

5.0

Pros

Spectora doesn't even compare to other reporting software, and I know because I tried them all, spent months building templates, and trying to make other software work. Ultimately they fell short. Spectora does it all! Automates our entire business from the scheduling process to the emails sent to clients and agents... and the reports! dont get me started. We get tons of new business just from agents seeing the reports. Trust me, anyone can see the Spectora difference. Our business and marketing efforts are build on Spectora and we owe them for a great deal of our success.

Cons

Spectora, like me are profectionist. In a rapidly growing business with lots of customer demands you have to prioritize things. Although I wish they would create a search agent and address interface on their repair request builder, I understand that most don' t use this feature when scheduling inspections. The online scheduler is more widely used and therefore prioritized.

Love the experience!!!

Pros

Customization and the fact that you can do your report writing onsite even in bad cell areas. Clean professional report.

Cons

The price is high but so far its been worth it for my company. Also sometimes it glitches on certain things and I have to reset my phone.

### "Helps my business"

October 25, 2022

5.0

Pros

Spectora has helped streamline multiple processes in our business. From scheduling, performing, and managing the inspections and reports, to collecting money and handling the operations of the business. If utilized, Spectora is an effective tool in running an inspection company.

Cons

The reporting app is a little buggy when running it on Android devices.

### "The only software I'd use"

July 11, 2023

5.0

Pros

It's a one stop shop. Everything is under the same roof and it's just plain old easy to use and looks great!

Cons

Since recent update the dashboard calender is really hard to use on a mobile device. Its impossible to add anything like events or inspections by clicking on the calender day because nothing happens anymore when you click.

### "Look No Further!"

January 27, 2021

5.0

Pros

This is my second year using Spectora. The software is intuitive and presents a very clean easy to read report for my clients. If you’re looking to build your own custom template or use one that was built by another Spectora user, you have that option. I chose to build my own and it works just fine. When you do have questions the support team is very friendly and quick to respond. Payment options are built into the software as well. Most of my clients prefer to pay with a credit card. I include a link to the invoice which they can pay at any time. A notification of payment and signatures alerts me when completed which is nice that I can quickly see the status. Built in automation for emails and analytics is included for additional ease of use. Online calendar and email drip campaign tools are also included. The reason why I decided to switch to Spectora was the ease of use. My clients are able to do everything from payment and signatures to view the inspection report from a smartphone. In addition, realtors also have great feedback on RE10 creation and the visual notes on the report. I would highly recommend Spectora.

Cons

No software is perfect. Occasionally I have a problem with my iPhone camera or the software abruptly quits. I just relaunch the app and I am back in business.

Reason for choosing Spectora

Additional built in functionality and realtor tools.

### "Amazing All-In-One Home Inspector Tool"

March 1, 2023

5.0

Love it so much I haven't even considered another option. I absolutely made the right decision choosing Spectora for my Home Inspection business.

Pros

1) Full featured templates I can edit on the fly. 2) Automated communications 3) Super easy payment methods 4) Constantly improving software

Cons

Not a con, just a comment. The new Spectora Beta App still needs some work, but they're working on it and I'm sure it will be amazing. Right now it isn't as responsive as it should be and crashes quite often when I switch between the app and another app on my phone.

### "Amazing From Software to Support"

February 2, 2021

5.0

Spectora has helped my productivity, freed up my after hours, streamlined my whole process. By far, the best decision I have made.

Pros

Everything about it is amazing. A client can book online, the app is exceptional, the ability to publish an inspection onsite saves a lot of time. Most important aspect of the software are the people behind it. They are available at a moment's notice to help with any troubleshooting or issues. Typically within a minute or two, they are there with answers. The customer service, software and back office features are well worth the price. They have made me look amazing in this industry. My company stands out because of the modern reports and the ability to book an inspection online.

Cons

It needs a backup or standalone feature in case the system goes down. There has been one glitch in the past year that shut everyone down for a weekend but it was corrected.

### "A Real Home Inspectors Unvarnished Opinion"

February 10, 2021

5.0

Overall it's a thoughtfully layed out program with great functionality and few if any issues that rise above a difference in preference from user to user regarding lay out or extra functions. Anytime I've ever had a question I've used the chat bubble and a real person has always answered me within minutes... Every rep has been very pleasant and very helpful.

Pros

The layout. The ease of use. The consistent availability (no server outages or downtime). The fact that it manages almost every aspect of the inspection process, including scheduling and billing. Clients love how professional it makes everything look. Constant and active attention to its development by Spectora staff.

Cons

I have zero complaints and the fellow inspectors that I know all generally tend to agree.

### "It is hard to make the switch but I am SO glad I did! Taking my reports to the next level!"

November 30, 2017

5.0

Speed and amazing presentation! It has taken my reports to the next level!

Pros

The things I like most about the software are as follows. The report presentation on both HTML and PDF is fantastic. The software is both an app and web based so I can tweak my template on my desktop but complete the inspections in the field. The template allows me to include pictures so I don't have to add those later. It supports video and location tagging. It helps me track what has been completed and what still needs to be done. The agents like the reports because they have the ability to easily pull a repair requests. The different categories make it clear and simple to differentiate between a serious issue and a maintenance issue.

Cons

It would help me out if there was a way I could start a finding with just a photo and then come back later. I know that the idea is to complete the report onsite, but sometimes the homes are in such bad shape that completing the report onsite just isn't possible when you've a full day scheduled. Having this ability would keep me from having to pull all the pictures in from my phone later. Because when you get on a house like that with time constraints, taking pictures is all you have time for.

### "Needs More Than 5 STARS \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*"

June 6, 2020

5.0

Start up company as of Jan. 2020 ( fine time to start) I could not have survived these crazy times with out Spectora Family. The ease of how the software can be customized to your needs is paramount. The staff is always available no mater what you need. I've utilized every option and service that the Spectora offers. They built my web site, take care of my payment collection, and have helped me with most of software start up coaching. The feed back that I get from my clients, agents, and any one else who sees what I have to offer is blown away. The quality and ease the reports generated, sells inspections by them selves. Once an agent sees the high quality of my reports they are hooked! My inspection scheduling accessed from my website (they built) is a BIG selling point for my clients. Agents and Home buyers,they can select services and book inspection on their own at there convince. This alone has also booked me more inspections. Spectora is more than just a inspection software writer company. You get a team of like minded people that want to make you successful!!

Pros

Ease of use, Customization, and High Quality Reports.

Cons

I wish there was an "un-due / Reverse button".

### "Spectora Literally Started My Business For Me"

October 25, 2019

5.0

Customer service is off the chart! I personally speak and have spoken to the founders of the software which says it all. These guys are simply servants and have a genuine heart. They want to see people succeed. Spectora has made a new business owner become successful in the first few months and is able to provide for a family of 5. Without this software I would not be doing 10 plus inspections a month with out any advertisement as Im punching the jumpstart package next month. Cant wait to see where there marketing tips and help will lead NHI. Blessed to be a part of the Spectora family. Yes a family, I truly feel the love and support from the entire team. Thank you Spectora, Stay blessed!!

Pros

Everything. There is way too much to list regarding the pros but a few things are.. 1. Spectora has set the pace and momentum for a new business owner and makes me look professional and technical advanced in a way that I didn't imagine. Spectora has gotten me off to a start and pace of doing almost 4 inspections weekly without any advertising but simply wowing agents over my word of mouth from the agents who had the pleasure viewing my report that Spectora produces in such a timely, professional, and technical advanced fashion.

Cons

Honestly I will have to think of one and I will come back to this question in the future if one comes up. Thats my honest answer.

### "Superior Software for Home Inspection Reports"

October 18, 2018

5.0

Time saving. I have used three other big name software companies before I was lucky enough to cross paths with Spectora. With other software platforms I thought that only basic tools were available to write my home inspection reports. Super time consuming with editing my verbiage for the defects and photos. With Spectora I do it on the fly, right then. When I take a photo of a defect Spectora allows me to circle or arrow the defect, identify were it is and move on. I can do an inspection and have most of it done by the time I leave the inspection. Instead of hours of time spent on editing and sending off the inspections to the agents and clients. I spend a fraction of time with Spectora. My customers have mentioned in their thank you email back to me that their agent commented to them that their inspection report was the best they have ever seen. That means more inspections for my business, which translates to more money made. I say this about Spectora: If you want to upgrade your business start using Spetora now. Smart, Fast, and Affordable. I am getting better each day because of Spectora's software and their outstanding customer service. They have been there nearly instantly every time I had a question. When you know you have the best software, it shows in your business confidence. How much is that worth?

Pros

Spectora's software so user friendly to use. From day one this software makes your business shine.

Cons

My personal inabilities of not using all the benefits that Spectora offers.

### "Spectora Review"

April 9, 2019

5.0

Pros

I have been in the inspection business for more than 30 years and have been using my own proprietary report system. It was flexible and versatile but did not allow for pictures to be inserted where I wanted them to be so I started a search for a new program…. I tried the demo version of every one on the market but could not find one that I felt would provide the quality reporting I wanted. Then I found Spectora. It was exactly what I needed. It is flexible, fast, and allows me to change and add on the fly. The photo integration works perfectly. I have been using for approximately one year and am happy I made the move. The hardest part of using this program is getting your head around how much you can do with it. It allows you to create different types of reports for different applications. It’s a joy to use. . If you have a question, the staff responds quickly to help you. I do me quickly…. Usually within minutes. It’s hard to admit, but this is a better report that the one I had created years ago.

Cons

There is no overall spell checker in the program.

### "User Friendly-Excellent Customer Service-Great Product "

January 8, 2023

5.0

Superb customer service and a product that has definitely set the bar high.

Pros

So many to mention….The ability to create the report as I am doing the inspection and the SEARCH feature! The repair/concessions report that pulls out only the “D-box” observations, allows you to choose and comment, then send it directly to the Seller.

Cons

Haven’t found anything yet. Every time I run into an issue, their real-time customer service takes care of me and walks me through it.

### "My Time With Spectora"

June 25, 2020

5.0

All things considered I'm very satisfied with Spectora. I was initially frustrated with the inability to get customer support on the phone. Having to have chat conversations of complex issues can be challenging at times. However, the customer support has been excellent in addressing my issues, helping me fix my own mistakes and getting an overall better user experience.

Pros

I do enjoy the user interface. It is attractive and the clients and realtors i work with love the presentation. I've regularly received comments about how they can view things easily and understand everything that was discussed during the inspection.

Cons

I sometimes suffer from performance during report writing. As a cloud based software internet strength plays a large role in slowing down my report writing. Waiting a few seconds to drag a photo into a section or adding a new section doesn't seem like much, but it can add as much as 30-40 minutes to report writing when internet signal is not strong for either me as the user or Spectora as the host.

Reason for choosing Spectora

As a Cloud based platform you are not restricted to the amount of devices you may own. You can operate seamlessly between devices and locations. The interface for clients is polished and modern. Report tools are easy to use if not a bit buried.

June 23, 2023

Pros

All of the the integration capabilities.

Cons

The app is good but not great. The only thing I wish it had was more of an administrative side. A lot of home inspectors are "one man shows" so i'm often on the road or at a home when a customer calls and i need to get them booked or look at my overall schedule and things like that.

February 28, 2023

Life long Spectora customer! They are constantly changing and working to make the product better. Outstanding customer service all the time.

Pros

This software is outstanding! The ease of using it daily has made writing the reports so much smoother. When the clients and the agents see the reports I’m able to produce with this software it sells them on my business. Easy to read, navigate and work on.

Cons

I started using it 4 years ago, only con is that I didn’t have it for the 4 years prior to that.

### "The best thing that ever happened!!"

September 6, 2019

5.0

It has been a great experience since I met the team in San Diego at the ASHI conference. They walked me through setting up my program and also built me a new new website. The team always responds to any questions I have in minutes. Thank to all of you for your help.

Pros

The software cut my report writing time in half. The online scheduling has been a life saver. All of my Realtors love the report formate and always comment on how easy its is to read through. I also can get most of the report completed on site right on my cell phone. I then sync the information to my lap top to finish. If I need to learn how to do a certain task the You tube videos have been very helpful as well as the webinars.

Cons

When I have a question I sometimes wish I could talk to someone. Im not a great typer as they know.

Reason for choosing Spectora

We walked out of the conference to find a bar set up and they offered us a cocktail not knowing that it was Spectora !!!!! We started to talking to other inspectors that started using this program as well and they raved about it. We then got introduced to the owners of the company and staff!! The rest was history. Thank you Spectora!!

### "Spectora is the absolute best report writing software I have used. "

October 5, 2017

5.0

Decreased report writing time, better looking report presentation!

Pros

I have used software from three competing companies, two of them being the most "common" in the industry, and in my opinion nothing comes close to putting out a cleaner, easier to read report. I am a perfectionist when it comes to my "finished product" (being the report), and Spectora has allowed me to up my game and provide a little "Wow" factor. Realtors look over hundreds of reports, setting yourself apart with a clean, easy to read, and technologically advanced report...will grow your business, if you're taking care of other facets of your business. On top of that you have the Developers; customer support, who are there for you immediately if you need any assistance or have suggestions. You can tell they are passionate about what they do, so the future of this software is only going to get better with more feature. As of now, the software is meeting all of my needs and saving me time on report writing. All of the needed features are here; default pics, locations, etc.

Cons

Nothing substantial that I have found so far. Overall speed in the app and software could be improved, but it is not bad by no means.

Signing up for the software was the worst business mistake I've made thus far. I thought I was getting a deal with a 2-year contract and now that they're not holding up their end of the bargain I'm stuck with a very expensive and Incredibly useless piece of garbage. I am so disappointed in the performance of this product the verse how it was when I first started using it it makes me sick.

Pros

Used to be a great One-Stop shop and I couldn't sing it's Praises High Enough.

Cons

They updated it to a new version stop supporting the old version and the new version is completely useless. It crashes, deletes my reports ,won't let me access my own templates and you can't write in the comment box on an Android.

Reason for choosing Spectora

It was recommend.
