  • Using Past Tense In Home Inspection Reports
    Jan 27 2025

    Tune into this episode of Inspector Toolbelt Talk, where we unpack the power of past tense, a simple yet transformative approach that could redefine how you communicate with clients. With insights from seasoned inspectors, attorneys, and insurance agents, we delve into why switching to past tense can be a game-changer for legal protection and clarity.

    Join us as we explore the many benefits of maintaining consistency and professionalism using past tense in your reports. We discuss real-world examples, such as evaluating sump pumps and HVAC units, to illustrate how this approach aligns with industry standards, minimizes ambiguities, and enhances your credibility. Whether you're documenting intermittent issues or simply aiming to elevate your reports' professional tone, our practical advice will help you foster trust with clients and safeguard your practice. Don't miss out on these valuable insights that could transform your approach to home inspection reporting.
