How the reports are delivered

The H.I.S. Property Inspection report and picture files are emailed to you the next day if you have internet capabilities, but we also mail out a report package to you by Priority Mail the day after your inspection.

This H.I.S. report package includes a bound report, a change of address packet, a moving checklist, a realty glossary, information on smoke detectors, home safety, security and disaster preparedness.

Why don't we offer those instant "onsite" reports?

Because the inspector takes the time to evaluate the photographs and other information gathered onsite so he can give you a more thorough and understandable report after careful review.

After 22 years in the inspection business, we feel you get a better, easier to read report this way, and you don't have to stay at the property with the inspector as long. We don't take up the time you, your agent, or the homeowner while we complete the report onsite. We respect the fact that your lives are very busy and time is a valuable commodity during the home buying/selling process.
