Question 1

Is the inspection summary the only part of the report I need to read?

Accepted Answer

No. While the summary highlights the most significant findings, you should review the full report for context and details. Summary items often reference specific sections of the full report that contain photos, measurements, and detailed descriptions you need for accurate repair requests and client discussions.

Question 2

How do I explain inspection findings without alarming my client?

Accepted Answer

Provide context by explaining how common the finding is for homes of similar age and type. Use phrases like 'this is typical for a home built in this era' or 'this is a maintenance item we can address.' InspectProHQ's severity ratings help you distinguish between urgent concerns and routine findings.

Question 3

Should I share the full inspection report with my client?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your client should always receive the complete inspection report. However, supplementing it with InspectProHQ's agent summary helps them focus on the most important items without being overwhelmed by the volume of detailed findings in the full report.
