Re: Time to generate a report
Inspect the house avg. 1hr/thousand sf. Writing the report varies from "I can't believe making money is so easy" (3yr. old slab, not occupied) 30min. max. To tears dripping on the keybd at 1:30am ( 30+ year. two basements and crawlspace, 3 attic, every possible plumbing config. and problem, knob & tube with Federal Pacific panel + subs at every turn, plumber reciprocating saw infestation, etc. on a 1800 sf. house. Ya just gotta love it!
I take an avg. of 100 pics on a 2-3 thousand sf. house. Always go thru the inspection the same direction. Probe I carry tells whether floor is tile or vinyl by how it stands in the pic. Toilet lid up says loose. etc. Also carry a digital voice recorder for things that don't photo well, furnace size etc. I also keep the photos forever. Had one customer call back after 11 mos. with complaint that roof leaked and roofer said HI should have condemed the roof. When I looked at the roof I was shocked to see most of the granuals were gone and you could see the fiberglass. When I asked the customer when he had cleaned the roof he said he had not. When I produced the pictures of the roof that had some algae growth on the rear elevation, that was now gone, he said he was going to go after the seller. Just looking for someone to blame. What a scumbag. I'm glad I had the pic's.
