It's 4pm. The walkthrough ended at 2.
You've got two hundred photos in random order, two pages of scribbled notes, and a buyer waiting on the report tomorrow morning. The inspection took two hours. The report will take six. Again.
Six hours of writing.
After every two-hour inspection. Most of your week is documentation, not inspection. The fee structure assumes the writing is fast. It isn't.
Two hundred unsorted photos.
Which one is the cracked flashing? Was that the basement or the garage stairwell? You're sorting at 9pm with a tab open to street view trying to remember.
A laptop in the crawl space.
Or worse, on the kitchen counter at the client's house, while they hover. Tendonitis from typing in tight spots. The entry-fee that doesn't show up in the marketing.
