It’s 143 pages of nonsense. There is very little actual information in these pages.
This report does not convey any proof that these guys know how to inspect a house.
The reader of this report can examine the entire document and still wonder:
What issues exist?
What are the ramifications of those issues?
What repairs should be done?
Who should do the repairs?
Michael and Myles obviously are advertising their company and posing as satisfied customers. This is quite dishonest in my opinion.
I know we are supposed to be discussing the software in this thread, but that might be the “fluffiest” report I’ve ever seen. I understand you want to “teach” your client about homeownership, but the actual deficiencies are absolutely lost in the report. Sure, the summary lists them, but with such abbreviated wording that the client will likely be confused on what to do next.
I’ll add, I don’t mind the report format or layout, as long as it can be customized to get rid of 99% of the fluff.

Page one of the report says the client is Chris Bartole of 313 38 Ave NW, so this is a buyer’s inspection, not a pre-sale inspection for the seller.
But according to Zillow, there is no sale pending.
The home is for sale. No offer pending. If this were an inspection for the buyer, wouldn’t there be a sale pending… with an accepted contract? But the listing is not “pending”, it’s for sale, as in “welcoming offers”.
I see listings on Zillow, that I just done recent inspections on for a buyer. These were based on accepted offers pending the inspections, etc. They are still listed on Zillow as for sale, get pre-qualified, etc.
If home inspectors are anything, they are sleuths. In general, we never take much for granted or for face value. It’s part and parcel of what we do.
To say something like this: “distinctive and considered the go-to tool in the industry.” and expect to get away with it? Holy cow, the huevos on these guys.
You are literally talking to people who KNOW what the go-to tools are and telling them, your tool, that no one has heard of, is the go-to tool has to be the dumbest fumble you can make while pitching to the people who would buy your product!
Not to mention, being an Apple only product will instantly eliminate 40-50% of your market potential.
A better pitch would have been “Hey, we have a new product, we’re targeting younger inspectors, we know we need some work, but we’re working on it!”
Rather than “We’re here, we’re the best, break out your Apple phone and bathe your customers in the glory of our massive reports!”
An interesting assumption but no I am not the owner of Inspectagram, I am a user of the program. You can either have the report layout built for you or build your own, the ‘Fluff’ can be added or removed depending on what you want to covey.
I cannot speak to the report that was shared, I think everyone has their own way or reporting, documenting and conveying what actions need to be taken and by whom.
I agree. The information provided is of little value, and the quirky, casual narration is condescending. Home inspection is not the same as selling coffee or bed sheets. I hope this writing style does not become a trend. I would be embarrassed to present this as a residential inspection, much less a commercial inspection.
