We can do the inspection, then at our office complete the report, incorporate inspection pictures and email the report to you, the buyers agent, and the sellers agent, if you so desire.  A bound book will be delivered for your records and safe keeping. If you so desire, we can do the inspection then at our office prepare a narrative report and again incorporate pictures. Emailed reports and narrative reports are not completed the day of the inspection; however, any items of concern will be explained to you and your agent at the property during the inspection.
