What you can expect after the inspection is complete: If you have attended the inspection, which I urge you to do, we will
review the highlights and summary of the report. The detailed narrative report, which includes photos, takes the guesswork out
of reading the inspection report, making it easier for you to better understand the condition of the home and assist you in your
purchase decision. The inspection report will then be emailed to you within 24 hours.
