For solo home inspectors: walk the house with your phone, record each system, the defects and the photos as you go, and the report is assembled from your notes, ready to review and send to the buyer and the agent before the evening.

Solo inspector, three inspections on Saturday. At a 1980s ranch house he records the roof, the electrical panel, plumbing and HVAC as he walks, marks a double-tapped breaker and an aging water heater with photos, and at 6pm the buyer and the agent get the report with the summary of repairs at the top.
Choose your planA solo home inspector spends two or three hours in a house and then often as long again at the desk, turning notes and hundreds of photos into a report. The buyer and the agent want it quickly, because the inspection contingency is running, and the evening is when the report actually gets written.
Many inspectors still use templates in a word processor or a desktop program that does not travel well. Notes are taken on paper or in a phone memo, photos are matched to defects by hand afterwards, and the summary of the most important findings is retyped from the body of the report.
The service lets you write the report while you inspect. You open the inspection on your phone and go through the house system by system: roof, exterior, structure, electrical, plumbing, heating and cooling, interior and the rest of your usual sections. For each item you record what you saw, choosing from your own comments or typing new ones.
Photos are taken inside the report, so each one is attached to the defect it shows, with a short note. There is no sorting afterwards: when you finish the walk-through, the photos are already where they belong.
Defects are marked by type — safety issue, repair needed, maintenance, for your information — and the summary at the top of the report is built from them. The buyer sees the important findings first, and the agent can find the repair items without reading every page.
When you are done, you review the report, adjust the wording where needed and send it to your client and the agent as a link and as a PDF. Inspections booked for the day are in a list with addresses and clients, and finished reports stay in your history, searchable by address.
Your own comment library grows with every inspection, so the wording you use for a missing GFCI or a worn roof covering is one tap away the next time. Your sections, logo and standard text appear on every report, so each one looks like your business.
Getting started takes one evening: your business details, your report sections and the comments you already use, which can be imported from your current template. The next inspection can be written in the service.
Some states have their own report forms or required sections; the service lets you match your sections to them, and you remain responsible for meeting your state's standards of practice.
