Inspection Reports

When choosing an inspection company, cost should be the least of your concerns. However, what do you get for your money?

Do you get a checklist report that doesn't really tell you much about your property?

Do you get a narrative report that reads like "War and Peace"?

Can you understand the inspection report?

Does your inspection report include pictures?

Does your inspection report provide estimates for repairs?

Do you get an inspection report that merely refers you to tradesmen in each field?

Below are samples of inspection reports from the files of Magnum Inspections Inc.

The first is from a "low ball", "Realtor friendly" inspection company. It is courtesy of Dennis Robatile, founder of the Independent Home Inspectors of North America.

Low Ball Inspector

The above inspection is handwritten, has no estimates, and is very hard to read. It is nearly impossible to glean any information from this report and may be considered by some, a waste of money.

Franchise Summary Page

The above is a summary page form a well known franchise company. It merely refers the Client to specialists in each area where a deficiency was observed. There are no estimates. Again, after receiving this type of report, how much more "evaluation" is required?

The inspection reports below are actual inspections performed by Magnum Inspections Inc. These are actual inspection reports with the names removed, to protect the innocent.....or in some cases, the guilty!

Sample one :This inspection took approximately three and a half hours to perform and two hours to compile the inspection report.

Sample Four-Plex :This inspection took three hours to perform and another two hours to compile.

Not only do you get the inspection report as depicted in the samples above, but the original, high resolution pictures are available , on request, for all Clients of Magnum Inspections Inc.

Furthermore, if any Client has any questions pertaining to the inspection or the inspection report, we are always available to provide explanation and any backup documentation if needed. This documentation may include local code references and/or manufacturers installation specifications.

The finished product is the most important part of the inspection. Always ask for sample reports from any prospective inspection company. You may be surprised at the type of report you are paying for.
