How it works

The workflow has three stages: capture visible context, review preliminary observations, and verify material concerns with the right professional.

During the walkthrough

  • Create a property record before the walkthrough.
  • Scan methodically by exterior, structure, roofline, rooms, and systems.
  • Capture a clear overview and close-up for each concern.
  • Record the room or exterior location and relevant context.

After the walkthrough

  • Review observations, uncertainty, and suggested professional follow-up.
  • Treat every result as a hypothesis to verify.
  • Review and correct context before sharing.
  • Export a preliminary property condition report and share it with an inspector, agent, or contractor.

For first-time homebuyers

First-time buyers face unfamiliar systems and tight deadlines. House Inspector helps create an organized record for later questions.

  • Follow the same room and system order in each property.
  • Flag observations without trying to diagnose them.
  • Ask the inspector what is included and excluded.
  • Use written findings and local quotes for decisions.

Keep in mind

  • The app cannot tell you whether to buy a home.
  • Contract deadlines and remedies require agent or legal guidance.
  • Professional inspection and specialty testing remain essential.

For property investors

Investors can use House Inspector to standardize early walkthrough notes before underwriting repair assumptions.

  • Use consistent naming and photo coverage.
  • Separate observed condition from budget assumptions.
  • Request specialist diagnosis for material systems.
  • Keep actual invoices separate from preliminary estimates.

Keep in mind

  • The app is not an appraisal or investment recommendation.
  • It cannot identify all code, permit, occupancy, or environmental issues.
  • Returns and repair budgets depend on local professional evidence.

For real estate agents

Agents can use a structured photo record to prepare questions and coordinate follow-up while staying within their role and local duties.

  • Label client observations and their source.
  • Avoid characterizing an issue as confirmed without evidence.
  • Route technical questions to the right professional.
  • Track transaction deadlines and document delivery.

Keep in mind

  • The app does not provide brokerage, legal, disclosure, or inspection advice.
  • Agency duties and disclosure rules vary by jurisdiction.
  • Material representations should rely on verified professional evidence.

For homeowners

Homeowners can capture changes over time, group concerns by area, and prepare better information for service calls.

  • Photograph the same location from the same angle over time.
  • Record weather, equipment operation, and dates.
  • Address active leaks and safety concerns promptly.
  • Keep professional findings, quotes, and invoices with the observation.

Keep in mind

  • Monitoring is not a substitute for timely diagnosis.
  • Photos cannot prove stability, air quality, or system safety.
  • Do not perform unsafe testing or repairs based on app output.
