House Inspector product
Read a property condition report without overreaching
A preliminary condition report organizes visible observations. It should distinguish direct observation, possible implication, limitation, and recommended follow-up.
Who this page is for
House Inspector is a preliminary visual decision-support tool. It helps people document what they can see, organize follow-up questions, and prepare for conversations with inspectors and contractors.
- Buyers reviewing a photo-based report.
- Owners building a maintenance record.
- Agents organizing questions for clients and inspectors.
What the workflow includes
Capture clear, well-lit photos, add property context, and review the resulting observations before treating any item as confirmed.
- Confirm the property, date, area, and image context.
- Separate observations from interpretations.
- Prioritize safety and active water concerns.
- Track referrals, quotes, and resolved items.
Important limits
A photograph shows one angle at one moment. It cannot reveal concealed assemblies, measure system performance, test materials, or establish code compliance.
- A report is only as complete as its inputs and scope.
- It does not establish legal disclosure compliance or market value.
- A seller disclosure, appraisal, and professional inspection are different documents.
