How does an inspector use Action List?


Purpose

Allows agents & buyers to quickly create a list of request items for sellers. Attached to the bottom of this article are sample action lists for your review.

Note: You do of course, need your client's permission to share inspection results with anyone, including their real estate agent.

How it works for inspectors

Send the list automatically to every buyer &/or agent

Or

Send the list manually for certain reports.

Tip: To set up a permanent Report Delivery Email Body that you can toggle to, go to the Horizon Profile under 2. Administration > Text Options > Settings > Report Delivery Email Body. Instead of editing your Main Letter, create a brand new Report Delivery Email using the text above.

It can then be applied to the Body text before sending the email.

Remember to replace the text that says 'Replace with Action List URL here' with the Action List URL before clicking 'Send Email'.
