Report
We use a narrative reporting system accompanied with clear, concise photographs at no additional charge. We believe this provides a better service compared to the quick and easy, on-site check off list which is convenient for Inspectors and RE agents but a great disservice to the person who is depending on the report. Our report addresses most questions, warns of potential problems, and is great educational reading. As a convenience for the Realtors involved, we supply a Summary page(s) which provides a quick lists of the areas of concern.
Because of the time and effort spent on each inspection, we seldom schedule more than one inspection in a day. We want your inspection first and foremost in mind and do not want to rush through your inspection to get to the second or third one. You are our greatest concern.
