Where Is That Run-Away Bulldozer When I Need It?

WOW!  I had an inspector take 150 or so and we thought that was alot.

Hi Michael,

Was this house a complete disaster or what?? Hope 350 pictures were not on one home you inspected!

You need a few breaks after 350 photos. If all are inspection related, that is a serious amount of volume.

Your kidding.  Wow!!

I chicken out on that many photos. I take a photo of the condition and note it in the photo section as "Example of.....defect" I guess I have never felt it necessary to show each and every incidence of a defect. Since in a case like that the comment is almost always going to be "Refer to a licensed whatever for further evaluation." or on occasion "Service, repair or replace to correct."

If a picture is worth a thousand words you may just have your first novel. ;-)

Oh my!  That must be a tough one.

Almost sounds as if a narrated video is what this job called for! Earning every penny on this one I am sure!

All I can say is that I am glad that I am not the agent on that deal.

ZAPPPPP - 350 photos for ONE house. As you said, it musta really been a mess. Maybe we can see a few samples in a future blog, so we won't feel that some houses we are stuck with are all that bad....

Uh, so what was that about Mr CEO? And, the Active Rain of Home Inspections? Whats that about? Further, 350 photos! Did you open their dresser drawers and cupboards to snap pictures to? Never, ever heard an inspectorin 30 years in this business having to snap over 350 pics for one residenial home!! but have when I do commercial and industral buildings.

Oh, so what was the blog about again?

Wow. That's all.

I've been in those properties, starting out in leasing a few years ago when I had to pay my dues. I vividly remember walking into a property, making a 15 second lap through the kitchen and living room, and walking straight back out the front door. I called the owner and said, you'll need to knock it down and rebuild if you want to rent it.

I can't believe the buyers didn't run away when they first viewed the property. GOOD LUCK!

Goodness. I wouldn't want to be the person getting that report. Cognitive overload!

Good luck to everyone involved thinking that deal needs to close!

Gosh -It sounds as if that home must have been in Tennessee . . . ;-)

Michael that sounds like the listing we alked away from!  At least we had that choice!

It's no longer a report but a novel. Each room get's it's own chapter.

Funny!  And loads of cameras.  My inspector picks up used cameras as he "plows" through them quickly as well.  Great blog!

Michael, Know how that one goes. I have been shooting a Cannon D-20 and I can usually get 400 pics or better on it.
