Who this is for
Home buyer inside their option period with a 40-page inspection report and no time to read it
Buyer trying to decide what to actually ask the seller to fix versus what to let go
First-time buyer who does not know if a finding is a $200 fix or a $20,000 fix
Buyer who wants a negotiation list before their agent's next call to the seller's agent
“Your inspector handed you a dense PDF full of findings and you have maybe 3-5 days left in your option period to decide what matters. Asking for the wrong repairs, or missing a real one like foundation movement, either kills a negotiation you could have won or leaves you owning a costly problem you could not see. Guessing wrong on a $400,000 house can mean thousands in repairs you never negotiated for.”

- Plain-English summary by system (roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, foundation, etc.)
- Severity ranking for every finding

Questions
Does this replace the inspector?
No. It summarizes and prioritizes what your licensed inspector already found so you can act before your option period ends.
Are the repair costs exact?
No, they are typical ranges to guide negotiation. Get a contractor quote before relying on a number.
How fast is delivery?
Most summaries are delivered within a few hours given option-period deadlines.
Refunds?
If the summary cannot be produced from what you submitted, full refund. Delivered summaries are non-refundable.
Written by a practitioner who reads inspection findings the way an experienced buyer's agent does, not a generic AI summary of your PDF, with a refund if the summary cannot be produced from what you submit.
