MY INSPECTION PHILOSOPHY
Reports are designed with three main goals and for three distinct readers
I ask myself, who will be reading these reports I work so hard to put together? The answer is always the homeowner, usually the builder/engineer, and possibly a lawyer. Litigation against a builder is rare, but when it does happen, documentation is your best friend.
With those three readers in mind, I design my reports to call out what is deficient (using photos and video), explain why it is deficient (referencing codes and standards), and explain the location to make it as easy as possible for the builder to make repairs.
After receiving the report I am more than happy to talk to the builder, clarify my report, give recommendations on possible repairs, and advise on next steps. In English igual como español.
My belief is that in this jungle of agents, contracts, builders, loans, contractors, banks and the complicated and expensive structure at the center of it all, a buyer needs somebody who can advocate on their behalf. It gives me joy to be able to help folks by doing just that.
"Good morning, Casey, Thank you for your thorough inspection, a quality secondary inspection really helps me evaluate my staff and see the areas where they can improve. If you ever want a job with great benefits and advancement opportunities let me know!
