Performing a Home Inspection & Writing an Inspection Report

[robiaster]

I am not a home inspector, I'm from Europe, this video has literally no relevance to me since I don't own a home, but I am about 2/3rds through this video and I'm enjoying myself.

Very nice presentation and I really like the way you present your thought process and value of the work.
Thanks for making this :)

OMG, I have hired home inspectors numerous times. Some have really stood out (like the guy who said I estimate you have 9-12 months on this heat pump-which then died at month 10).

NONE have ever suggested or offered an annual home maintenance inspection. I consider myself pretty good at this, I am maintaining and upgrading a 130 year old house, and yet this seems like a great idea. A trained set of eyes backing me up? A full home inspection around here is $450 for a house our size, even if an annual was $300 the thought of what I could be saving by catching electrical, plumbing, or dry rot conditions early? Thousands.

What a great idea.

I'm preparing to take the test at the moment, and this video was wildly helpful. The vast amount of information to absorb is astonishing. I didn't realize how robust Spectora was — gives me a sense of relief.

just recently finished schooling to become a home inspector, this video definitely helps me picture all things to peek and look at. I love seeing the actual thing on a home rather than a diagram. thanks for the video!

Great video. Almost testing out after taking my sweet time learning to be a home inspector. Your recommendation for Spectora is a game changer. Confidence booster and their customer service is superb. I have a live webinar class with them next week to discuss and learn about Spectora. You have really benefited your fellow inspectors. SALUTE 😊

I am currently immersed in the home inspector course, O haven’t finished your presentation and I’m learning a lot! Thank you!

Hey Big Ben, really a great way to produce a professional inspection. Your style has really encouraged me to continue my  quest for a new career where I too can come out looking and producing like a real pro. Thanks again

I'm in the process of becoming a home inspector after a career of testing & inspections on the construction side. This video was packed with valuable info.

Kinda wish I saw this before I started my training...would have saved me a lot of Googlin'. lol. Thanks for the very in depth coverage!

This report is a high value addition to the library of knowledge provided by InterNACHI. VERY useful and informative of a real inspection. Thanks and proud member of InterNACHI.

dude good stuff man i start in 3 weeks for the home inspection license course and i've been sweating late nights thinking about how hard the job and school actually is.

Great video. The one thing I will say is that if you are a very serious and very busy property inspector, you will not have time to be hanging out with the clients all day and walking them around during your entire inspection and stopping in the middle and giving them some reason all of that mess. If you’re looking to be a top inspector and a top earning inspector and you’re willing to work really hard and do 3 to 5 inspections today, you just will not have time to mess with all of this stuff. You need to be a lean and mean extremely efficient machine. You need to have a pretty rigid program that you run on pretty much every inspection. The time to dillydally and hang out with the client and talk to the client should be at the end of the inspection during the run down. New inspectors may watch this and try it, but if you want to be a true $7000 a week Inspector, You will have to be extremely efficient

26:08 hello crew :D Great video! Every since I saw an inspection by Jim Crumm I regularly search for comprehensive videos such as this one. Thank you, I've enjoyed this inspection very much.

Nice sunny day. That roof is at best a 4 pitch. You can walk it and provide a full report. .

[Chamo-zhco]

Great video and education Ben
I walked on the roof during summer and soon winter started I received phone call from client about roof leak stating that I was last one up there so after that I never walk on it again unless client is with me on the actual roof surface.
