The most useful line in a report

Not what was found. What could not be reached, and therefore was not inspected.

Say what you could not see

A report that lists only findings quietly implies everything else was checked. It rarely was. An attic hatch sealed by a previous owner, a crawl space full of stored boxes, a panel behind a wardrobe — each is a part of the house nobody looked at, and the buyer deserves to know which parts those were.

Independence is the other half of the value. An inspector who also offers repairs, or who gets work from the agent who recommended them, has an interest in how firmly a finding is worded. Taking no payment from contractors, agents or lenders is a structural guarantee rather than a promise about character.

And in Florida there is a report most owners have never heard of. Wind mitigation documents how a roof is attached and shaped, and it can reduce an insurance premium by a meaningful amount every year. It is worth asking about whether or not you are buying.

Our principles

Three beliefs behind the method

List what was not reached

Silence implies it was checked.

No repairs, no referral fees

Independence has to be structural.

Not a code inspection

Condition on the day, not compliance.
