🏡 ARE ALL HOME INSPECTORS THE SAME?

🔍 Why Not?   The answer is two-fold:

(A) The Short Report Approach. Some inspectors generate short reports (just a few pages) using digital applications. These apps allow them to quickly select pre-recorded narratives, eliminating the need to write personalized comments. While this method saves time for inspectors—whether they’re new or experienced—it comes at a cost to the buyers.

Why? Because buyers paying for an inspection deserve a detailed, thorough evaluation of the home they’re investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in.

(B) The Comprehensive Report Approach. Texas promulgates Form REI 7-6, which inspectors are required to use as the official reporting format. However, technology has led to new app-based inspection styles.

At Almana Home Inspections, we CHOOSE NOT to use pre-recorded, automated reports. Instead, we provide a thorough, professionally written evaluation with enhanced explanations—because our clients deserve the best.

Some Realtors prefer short, basic reports, while others value a more in-depth 20- to 40-page analysis. We believe in offering clarity, transparency, and actionable solutions that go beyond just identifying problems—we provide practical guidance for optimal home maintenance.

What are home inspectors to many people? Villains, of course—especially when our reports come back with a long list of deficiencies. 

😬Some might think we’re out to ruin the deal, wishing we wouldn’t find anything wrong or hoping we’d gloss over the issues.

But here’s the thing: we’re not creating the problems; we’re reporting what we see. That’s our job—simple and clear. We follow the Texas Standards of Practice to the letter, and if a home has a lot of issues, well, that’s what we found. If it has only a few, that doesn’t make us heroes either.

🤝 The Role of the Home Inspector

Whether we’re hired by the buyer or the seller, we’re independent. We don’t have a stake in the deal. Our only job is to tell the truth, no matter who hired us.

We don’t skip areas of inspection or sugarcoat anything. Our reports reflect the home’s true condition—nothing more, nothing less. Integrity and honesty are what we stand by, even when the truth is difficult to hear.

😟 The Emotional Side of Home Inspections

It’s never easy for a client to see a report full of deficiencies, and we understand that. We don’t take pleasure in pointing out flaws, but it’s our responsibility to show the condition of the home as it is, with no agenda.

Sure, we might stir emotions along the way—

• Buyers might feel disappointed 😔.
• Sellers might feel defensive 😤.

…but that’s part of the process.

🔎 The Truth Matters

A report full of issues might be frustrating, but it’s that same report that can save someone from making a huge mistake.

Our job is to keep you informed, even if it means uncovering problems that will cost time and money to fix. It’s not glamorous, but it’s what we do.

So whether you appreciate us for revealing the truth or feel uneasy about what we uncover, our role is simple:

🛠️ We report what we see so you can make informed decisions.

A home inspection isn’t about passing or failing a house—it’s about understanding its condition before you commit.

At the end of the day, our goal is to give you clarity and confidence in your decision—nothing more, nothing less.

🔹 Alfredo the Inspector   Thank you for trusting home inspectors to provide honesty, transparency, and peace of mind!
