Texas TREC home inspection software

Write the inspection in Hive and send it on the TREC REI 7-6 Property Inspection Report form, with TREC ratings already set and a Spanish version when your client needs one.

Does Hive support the TREC REI 7-6 form?

Yes. Import TREC REI 7-6 from the Template Hub. You fill in the inspection like any other report, and Hive puts each answer in its spot on the official form, sections I to VI.

The template is included on every plan. A Spanish PDF of the report is $15.

What the TREC template gives you

  • The TREC REI 7-6 form

    The Texas Real Estate Commission Property Inspection Report form, laid out like the promulgated version (REI 7-6, 8/9/21). Page 1 fills in the client, date, address, inspector names and the TREC license number from each inspector’s profile.
  • The TREC sections

    I. Structural Systems, II. Electrical Systems, III. Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Systems, IV. Plumbing Systems, V. Appliances and VI. Optional Systems.
  • TREC ratings already on

    Imported templates usually start with ratings off. TREC REI 7-6 comes with the standard TREC ratings (IN, NI, NP and D) turned on.
  • An online report as well as the form

    Your client gets the online report and the PDF on the TREC form. The form pages keep the official layout.
  • A Spanish version

    Generate a Spanish PDF of the TREC report for $15, shown before you pay. Your comments, titles and photo captions are translated. The form’s fixed TREC wording stays in English, as printed. TREC reports translate into Spanish only.
  • Texas WDI too

    The Template Hub also has the Texas Official Wood Destroying Insect Report (Rev. 9/1/2020) for Texas real estate transactions.

Worth knowing before you start

  • Import the form from the Template Hub. A TREC template uploaded from other software prints as a regular Hive report.
  • Don’t add, remove or move sections, subsections or comments. Each one maps to a spot on the form. Changing a comment’s wording is fine.
  • A section with no ratings may not appear on the TREC PDF.
  • The web preview doesn’t show the form. Check the PDF before you publish.
  • Have a TREC template you’ve used for years? Share it with our team in the chat and we’ll help you set it up.
