It is always best to book your
inspection as early as possible within your contract's
inspection period. If you are in a rush, don't worry, you
will get your inspection report at the inspection.

| Inspection Report |
|

|
|

The Marvin H. Schaefer Inspection Service, Inc. has always
been on the cutting edge of home inspection reporting systems. We are
continuing that tradition with our computerized report that is received by our
clients on the same day as the inspection. This report has multiple
benefits to our clients and the realtors that may represent them. Take a
minute to browse through these benefits below.

"The inspection report is very
impressive, complete with color photos of the
problem areas. The detailed report along with the
other information provided will be valuable tools to
us for years to come. The report provides areas that
need immediate attention as well as other
information about what to watch out for in the
future...That is impressive!" |
|
During the inspection, our inspectors log information into their tablet
computers in a specially designed home inspection computer program. This
program allows our inspectors to hand write notes on the screen of the computer.
These notes are then immediately converted to type written text for you to read.
The software allows us to describe systems and components of the home, note the
condition and provide a recommendation for an appropriate course of action.
The inspector will also be taking photos throughout the inspection. If the
inspector feels a photo will
help to clarify a condition noted in the report, a photo will be inserted to
accompany the related comment. |

When
you get home, check your email. Before the end of the day, often before you even
get home, there will be an email from your inspector with a link. Click
the link and your report will appear as a PDF file (See image below). After taking the time
to read through your report, it will be very simple to go back and study certain
sections of interest more thoroughly. On the left side of the screen there is a
list of each section of the report. Just click on it and it will open to
that section. (why email as opposed to a hand written or printed out report? See
the list of our report benefits below.)

REPORT BENEFITS:
 |
A typed written
report received the same day as the inspection. You
can save it on your computer and if you like, you
can print it and put it in the three ring notebook
you will receive with other helpful material at the
time of your inspection (See
below). Other companies may
provide same day reports, but they are often
handwritten and more difficult to read and are not
likely to have photos. Other
companies may provide typed written reports but they
are often not provided the same day as the
inspection. |
 |
Photos clarifying
many of the conditions. This can be very
helpful when deficiencies need to be explained to
buyers who could not be present or sellers and their
realtors for negotiation purposes.
A picture is worth a thousand words! |
 |
Great for realtors
and negotiation. The realtor does not have to
wait for days to receive a copy. With our
client's permission, we can email
the report to them as well. They won't have to
fuss with carbon copies that do not fax well to the
selling party for negotiation. Even better,
they can copy sections of concern, save them in a
file and email it to the selling party. |
 |
A summary page is
provided at the end of the report, noting items that
need correction. This is another helpful tool
for you and/or your realtor in compiling your list
of potential negotiation items. |
 |
Each section of the
report has the appropriate section of the
Connecticut Home Inspectors Standards of Practice so
you know exactly what the inspector is required to
do. |
 |
In the event you do
not have a computer, we will mail your report to you
and email a copy to your realtor so you can get
started right away. |
 |
In most cases, your
report is emailed to you from your inspector.
You can reply to his email with any questions you
may have. Of course, he is always available
for phone consultation for as long as you own your
home. |
|
| MORE THAN JUST A REPORT:

Your inspector will provide you a
three ring notebook before you leave the inspection. This book
contains several important documents. It has links to several more
very helpful documents that will help you through your inspection process
and for years to come. Of course, there is room in this book for your report, should you decide to
print it. The book will contain the following:
