The Inspection Report WHAT TYPE OF REPORT WILL YOU RECEIVE? The inspection report is the tool that you will use to negotiate with the seller. This means that proper descriptions of problems are needed, so that you can clearly communicate your requests. Pictures help tremendously for this, so a report with many photos is a must. When I started this company, I recognized very early that most inspectors lack good report writing / communication skills. This left their clients wondering how to translate the abbreviated reports they received (often times, checklist style reports are used, which is completely unacceptable). At Suburban Home Inspections, we don't mind receiving follow-up questions after our inspections, but we write out reports with the intent that you should not need to call for clarification on anything. Our reports do take longer to generate, but they are still delivered in a timely manner (by the following day). The payoff for us has been happy clients - and 20 years of ongoing referrals.
