Pre-Listing Inspection Report

Seller-side inspection to identify issues before listing, helping avoid surprises during buyer inspections.

What's Inside

What a pre-listing inspection report covers

A pre-listing inspection report helps sellers identify and address issues before buyers find them. It's a strategic document — focused on major systems, safety concerns, and items that could derail a transaction. Unlike a full buyer's inspection, this report prioritizes what matters for a smooth sale: what to fix, what to disclose, and what to leave alone. It's becoming a standard recommendation from listing agents who want fewer surprises at closing.

Sample Output

What the AI generates

You speak your observations in plain language. ReportWalk transforms them into professional findings with proper terminology, measurements, and recommendations. Here are examples from a pre-listing inspection report:

Roof: Architectural shingles, estimated 15-18 years old, showing granule loss and curling on south-facing slope — recommend budgeting for replacement within 3-5 years

Foundation: Horizontal crack in east basement wall approximately 8 feet long — consistent with lateral soil pressure, recommend structural engineer evaluation

Attic insulation: Blown-in fiberglass, approximately R-19 — below current code minimum of R-38 for this climate zone

Kitchen GFCI protection missing on countertop receptacles within 6 feet of sink — safety upgrade recommended

Garage: Firewall penetration at utility line entry not properly sealed — fire separation compromised

Real examples of AI-generated findings from voice input. Your report will use your observations, your photos, your professional judgment — just without the typing.
