One report view, shared by clients and agents
The home inspection report you build does more than document a home. It carries your expertise into every conversation that happens after you leave.
A great report isn't just a deliverable. It's the thing your client trusts and their agent negotiates with. Here's what that looks like at each stage.
STEP 1 · WHAT YOU BUILD
Write the report your way. Spectora keeps it clear.
Whatever your inspection style, Spectora gives you the tools to build an inspection report that reflects it: photo annotations, video walkthroughs, customizable templates, and a summary that highlights what matters most, aligned to your state or association's Standards of Practice. You control the details. We make sure they land.
Photo & video annotation
Mark up photos on-site and drop in walkthrough video so nothing gets lost between the field and the final report.
Templates built for your style
Streamlined summaries, numerical ratings, TREC/state-specific formats: set it up once, reuse it every inspection.
AI Message Assist
Draft professional client and agent messages in seconds. AI Message Assist writes the email or text, you review and send.
STEP 2 · WHAT YOUR CLIENT & THEIR AGENT SEE
One report view. Trusted by homeowners, used by agents to negotiate.
Your client and their agent open the same report: a clean view that works on any desktop or mobile browser, no app required. A PDF version is available too, for anyone who wants to save or print a copy.
Browser-based, on any device
Opens instantly on desktop or mobile for client or agent. No app download, no account required, just a link. Need a PDF? That's available too.
Summary they can actually skim
Key findings surface first, so an overwhelmed buyer (or a busy agent) isn't stuck parsing 60 pages to find what matters.
One link, shared by everyone
Buyer, listing agent, and transaction team all work from the same report: negotiation-ready, with no re-sending or version confusion.
Confidence in you, not just the house
A clear, professional report is often a client's first impression of your business, and an agent's reason to call you again.

About Spectora templates
Spectora templates are built to follow the standards inspectors use including the CAHPI Standards of Practice in Canada, the TREC REI 7-6 form in Texas, and state-specific forms like wind mitigation, 4-point, and NPMA-33. Start from a template that already matches your requirements, then change anything you want. The structure stays compliant; the wording stays yours. Leigh Gate of Home Advantage Inspections moved to Spectora from Horizon and built his own CAHPI Standards of Practice template. It's now published in the Spectora Template Center for other Canadian inspectors to use.

"The ability to keep the client's agent, the listing agent, and everybody informed, without any extra steps in our own process, is worth every penny."
