Texas · TREC REI 7-6

TREC inspection software that fills the REI 7-6 as you walk the house.

VantaHaus was built by a working, licensed home inspector — someone who fills these forms in attics and crawlspaces, not in an office. For Texas inspectors, that means the TREC REI 7-6 report form on your phone: tap the I/NI/NP/D ratings as you move through the house, add comments and photos on the spot, and deliver a standard-format branded PDF the same day.

The short version: VantaHaus is Texas home inspection report software that presents the REI 7-6 structure with tappable rating checkboxes, drops your photos straight into the report, and outputs a clean PDF in the standard TREC layout. It's included in the Standard plan alongside the Florida wind mitigation and 4-point forms.

What is the TREC REI 7-6 form?

REI 7-6 is the standard Property Inspection Report Form published by the Texas Real Estate Commission. Licensed Texas inspectors use it to report inspections performed for prospective buyers in real estate transactions, following TREC's Standards of Practice. The form's structure — structural systems, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, appliances, and optional systems — is standardized, so agents, buyers, and lenders across Texas all know exactly what they're looking at.

That standardization is a gift and a burden. A gift because you never argue about format; a burden because the form is long, and filling it by hand or retyping field notes into a desktop program eats your evenings.

How the I / NI / NP / D rating system works

Every item on the REI 7-6 is rated with the standard checkboxes:

An item can carry more than one mark — I and D together means you inspected it and found it deficient. Getting these checkboxes right, on every line, on every report, is exactly the kind of repetitive precision work software should be doing for you.

How VantaHaus fills the TREC form on your phone

Open a TREC report in VantaHaus and the REI 7-6 structure is already there. As you walk the house, you tap the rating for each item — I, NI, NP, D — and add your comments right where the deficiency lives. Photos drop straight into the report as you take them, attached to the finding they document, so there's no photo sorting at the end of the day.

When you're done, VantaHaus generates a branded PDF in the standard TREC report layout, ready to send to your client. Take a look at our sample report to see the finished output quality.

The rest of the job lives in the same app: e-signed pre-inspection agreements before you start, and client invoicing when you finish — so agreement, inspection, report, and payment are one continuous workflow instead of four tools.

What it costs

The TREC REI 7-6 form is included in the Standard plan at $49.99/month — along with unlimited reports, the Florida wind mitigation and 4-point forms, e-sign agreements, and invoicing. Pro adds Arti, our AI assistant, which analyzes your photos and drafts deficiency language for you to review. VantaHaus is live today on Google Play and as a web app, with iOS coming soon.
