Report
Be proud of the reports you produce. Spectora gives home inspection reports the modern web-based experience clients and agents love.
Modern design
Clean and intuitive, Spectora reports are easy to read on web or mobile devices. We built our web-based reports from the ground-up based on agent and client feedback.
Media-centric
Today's world is all about efficiency - research shows that buyers and agents don't read lengthy text. Spectora reports prominently display images and videos and we write our base templates as concisely as possible.
Client- and agent-focused organization
Visual focus is on the client's and agent's top priority - the deficiencies. Descriptive information is available when a client needs it down the road.
Easy navigation
Sidebar navigation and jump links let clients and agents find the information they need quickly.
Smart filters
Clients and agents can filter by high priority items, all deficiencies, or the full report. Give your clients the ease of seeing only what they need to.
Expandable text areas
Instead of large walls of text, long comments are stored in expandable text areas that keep the report clean and approachable.
Photo lightboxes
Clients can view any photo in a full-screen lightbox to examine those hard-to-see details.
Quick contact links
Your client can call or email you with one touch.
Agent tools
Agents love helpful tools like the Repair Request Builder.
PDF output
Visually appealing PDF output for those wanting the low-tech approach. We even have TREC, Texas WDI, NPMA-33 and Florida Wind Mitigation PDF outputs!
Template Editor
How fast you write reports all depends on where you start.
Prepopulated templates
Start smart with ASHI and InterNACHI templates each prepopulated with 400+ comments. Or grab a template from our Template Center, which includes dozens of templates shared by top inspectors totaling over 100,000 narratives.
Customize everything
Create multiple templates. Add, update, or remove anything. Set default text and photos that will automatically be included in reports.
Update as you go
Add to your template directly from the report writer. You'll never have to enter the same thing twice.
Template Sharing
Our platform also allows direct template sharing between inspectors. We see members of the Spectora community share templates with each other daily!
