Steps for Success
Mastering home inspection reports.
A solid home inspection report isn’t just data—it’s a story your clients can actually understand. Use these tips to keep it clear, structured, and packed with the info that matters most.
Remember, every photo you take can and may be used against you in a court of law.
Would you build a puzzle without the picture on the box? A home inspection report should be no different—it needs to provide a picture. Create a baseline to tell a better story.
After completing the baseline for a room, add any anomalies that are in the same room —extra features beyond the baseline. Just like not every car has a sunroof or spoiler, not every house has a steam room or fireplace.
The report summary should be like a highlight reel—quick, clear and impactful. Instead of watching an entire sports game, a highlight reel shows the key plays and the final outcome. Your Summary should do the same, clearly outlining the COMPONENT, ISSUE, ACTION and CONSEQUENCES - in a way that even your grandma could understand.
