Sometimes they never get read..

By
Home Inspector with Brian Persons Front Range Home Inspections

I had a funny thing happen today. A realtor called and said that their tenants (of the house they just bought and had me inspect), said there was damage on the roof. I asked if she saw it in my report..she said no. I scheduled a time to go back out and see the damage that had eluded me. After I went back home, I looked my report up and found that was the first thing I wrote up and documented with several pictures and red type, circles, and arrows. Page #1. I told her spouse on site about the issues also. I spend an enormous amount of time writing reports for my clients and it is sad that sometimes they never get read.

Wow, what's the point of having an inspection if they aren't going to read the report?

I would guess they would be the first to complain about something in their credit card statements too... that was in there that they never bothered to read either,,, who knows maybe even a mortgage? (WOW)

Here is a great story of what not to do... hire an inspector pay him and then dont read the report but be ready to complain about it and look the fool.

What is the sense to get a report, if you are not going to review it. Perhaps pointing a few things out may be in order on the other hand perhaps not.

Sometimes you just can't win!  Not much more you could have done to bring it to their attention except maybe put it on a billboard but sounds like they would have missed that, too.
