Thank you for your interest in SOLUTIONS, my Internet-based,
educational, interactive report system used exclusively by Bell Inspection Service.
Before we get to SOLUTIONS and my reasons for developing it, a little about me:
I moved to Florida in 1974. I was very tired of the cold and snow that we faced every year up
north. My construction career started in Jupiter, Florida building what we called cracker boxes of
about 800 square feet. Little did I know then that those houses would not even make a good storage
shed for what was to come to the area. My construction experience continued onto large custom
homes and commercial strip centers. The knowledge gained from those experiences helps to make me
one of the best inspectors available in Central Florida.

I’ve been a member of many unions and trade associations in many industries in my construction
career, and I am currently a member of the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors
(NACHI), the largest home inspector trade association in the world with over 9,500 members. I do a
lot of teaching and mentoring for NACHI members, and I am heavily involved in real estate and the
home inspection industry, including being a Registered Professional Inspector with the Florida
Association of Building Inspectors (FABI) and a Certified Member of The International Code
Council (ICC). I’ve also been an associate member of the Orlando Regional Realtors Board, the
Space Coast Association of Realtors, the Home Inspection Foundation, and a couple of others. My
purpose in joining these associations was, first, to determine how they helped the public; second,
how I could help them; and third, how they could help me help the public and the association.

In spite of my vast experience in construction, I do not know it all, so sometimes I’ll see something
at a property inspection that puzzles me. A picture and a quick post at the web site of the
National Association of Certified Home Inspectors, with its 9,500 members, will result in dozens of
answers within hours—sometimes within minutes—of posting. So I can assure my Clients that they’ll
have SOLUTIONS within 24 hours of the property inspection.
Now let’s discuss my reasons for developing SOLUTIONS.

My property inspection company does business in Central Florida as Bell Inspection Service. I also
have another company, Assurance Check, LLC that helps homeowners after the close of escrow. In
other words, my services don’t stop after the inspection. I help homeowners protect their investment
long after the sell. As you well know we are facing difficult times here in Florida with property
insurance and the ever increasing cost of property taxes.
I include a FREE Insurance Discount Survey with every home inspection. During the pilot phase of
the My Safe Florida Home program 1 out of every 5 homeowners saved an average of $282 without
making any improvements. Help your clients save money by referring Bell Inspection Service when
they need a home inspection.

Education is the answer. And SOLUTIONS is the solution.
At the end of the property inspection, I’ll go over any major problems that I’ve found and answer
any questions that anyone has. The actual site-specific, written inspection report is a PDF file
provided by email within 24 hours of the end of the inspection. There are two reasons why I provide a
written report a short time after the inspection rather than at the inspection itself.
First, liability for both Realtors and home inspectors is lessened when the report is created
without any time pressures. Too many times at the inspection, someone comes up and asks, “How
much longer?” Imagine everyone sitting around waiting while I put together a report, insert pictures,
proof it and run it through the spell checker, and then print it; your daylight hours are too valuable for
that. Additionally, sometimes it is necessary to add up various small clues to determine a bigger
problem, so I take a lot of pictures at the time of the inspection, review them at the office, and include
only those that will help my Clients see what I saw or understand what I’m describing.

Second, my family had a house burn down when I was a child from a defective appliance, so I record
the model and serial numbers, and manufacturers’ names, of appliances and then check to see if there
are any recalls; research that cannot be done at the property. After all, a home with a good foundation
and roof is no good if it burns down the weekend after escrow closes from a defective dishwasher.
Once my Clients move in, I have an Appliance Package with the manufacturers’ information and
pictures so that they have all the appliance information for insurance purposes in one place.
Although the property inspection report references documents within the SOLUTIONS
library, it is a stand-alone document that can be used for creating lists of requested repairs, lists of
things to do, etc. At the time of the inspection, my Clients and the involved Realtors get access to
the entire SOLUTIONS library containing all of the legal and insurance disclosures that you’ve
read so many times in so many property inspection reports, as well as educational documents about
staying safe in our homes, maintaining them, common problems, and lots and lots of tips and tricks.

While I am preparing the property inspection report, my Clients and the involved Realtors can be
reading through the SOLUTIONS library for further education about things that were discussed at
the time of the inspection. Education is knowledge, and knowledge is power.
We all know that working in real estate is a litigious industry, and we all know that Florida
is a litigious State, so I do everything I can to keep my Clients happy months and years down the
road, as well as keeping everyone out of court—and that includes Realtors.
If you have never used my services, or haven’t use my services recently, simply contact me
for more information or to schedule a property inspection. I look forward to working with you and for
your Clients in meeting their needs. Bell Inspection Service—part of YOUR team!
