A Real Inspection. A Real PropWise Result.
I ran my own home inspection through PropWise.
Three years ago, I worked through this 44-page inspection report while purchasing my own home. I recently ran that same report through PropWise to show how a dense inspection can become a clearer, more organized workflow for an agent and buyer. This walkthrough shows how the dashboard and practical training work together to prepare a buyer’s inspection response.
The property address, personal information, inspection-company details, and other identifying information have been removed for privacy. The inspection findings and PropWise results are authentic.
Why This Report
This was not a polished demo or a made-up example.
This was the inspection report from my own home purchase. It included electrical concerns, crawl-space issues, exterior deterioration, improper grading, window defects, garage safety items, plumbing repairs, maintenance notes, observations, and inspection limitations.
I remember what it was like to work through it three years ago. That experience is part of what led me to build PropWise.
The Transformation
From a long inspection PDF to clearer next steps.
Working from the inspection alone
- Findings spread across dozens of pages.
- Safety concerns mixed with maintenance notes and general information.
- No organized repair-cost overview.
- No direct path from finding to relevant vendor category.
- The agent must manually shape the next buyer conversation.
After processing through PropWise
- Actionable findings separated from informational and limitation items.
- Issues organized by severity, category, and source page.
- Repair-cost context grouped by category.
- Local vendor options connected to relevant findings.
- Multiple negotiation strategies prepared for agent review.
Report Overview
A clearer snapshot of what the inspection contained.
PropWise extracted 66 total report items. After informational notes and inspection limitations were separated, 52 actionable findings remained across observations, maintenance items, contractor-evaluation items, and defects. These screenshots and figures come from the same example run. Start by checking findings against the original report, then use the results guide to understand categories and priorities.
Cost Context
Repair estimates organized by category.
The complete actionable view produced an estimated repair context of $13,362. Electrical, plumbing, flooring, garage, masonry, roofing, HVAC, and other categories could then be reviewed individually instead of remaining buried throughout the original report. Cost-context training helps you explain these advisory estimates to a buyer. Confirm the actual scope and obtain professional quotes before relying on a number in a response.
Electrical
$2,008 estimated category cost
Plumbing
$1,762 estimated category cost
Flooring
$1,710 estimated category cost
Garages
$1,558 estimated category cost
Finding Details
More than a generic inspection summary.
Each finding can include severity, issue type, repair category, the original inspection page, estimated cost context, compliance status, and nearby vendor options. Buyer-conversation training helps you discuss meaningful concerns and your buyer’s priorities. Vendor guidance helps you identify the appropriate trade and independently compare qualifications, written scope, availability, and estimates.
Electrical Safety
Open attic splicing, panel wiring concerns, missing GFCI protection, and other electrical findings.
Crawl-Space Concerns
Mold-like growth, damaged subflooring, a missing vapor barrier, and access concerns.
Exterior and Drainage
Wood deterioration, siding defects, grading concerns, masonry issues, and leaking gutters.
Agent-Controlled Sharing
The full analysis does not have to become the shared report.
PropWise allows the agent to choose which findings are included. In this example, the complete actionable view totaled $13,362. A narrower selection of findings produced a shareable report with an $8,802 estimate. Use the shared view to focus the buyer conversation, while continuing to review the original inspection together and discuss relevant findings.
Complete actionable view
52 actionable findings and $13,362 in estimated repair context.
Selected shared view
The agent-selected findings recalculated the shared estimate to $8,802.
Negotiation Preparation
Four paths to help structure the next conversation.
PropWise generated several possible approaches for the agent to review based on the inspection findings and transaction context. Compare these options with your buyer’s goals, timing, contract terms, and lender requirements. Repair-language training provides examples you can adapt into specific, neutral requests tied to documented findings, then review under your broker’s guidance.
Seller Repairs
Request selected priority repairs before closing.
Seller Credit
Explore a lender-approved contribution or closing credit.
Hybrid Strategy
Combine critical repairs with a credit or price adjustment.
Proceed and Monitor
Move forward while budgeting and prioritizing post-closing work.
Training Behind the Workflow
Tools, training, and support for your next inspection.
Eight guides inside your dashboard help you put the results to work. This public walkthrough introduces the process; the detailed training remains in your dashboard.
Onboarding
Set up your account, prepare the original report, and complete your first upload.
First-week checklist
Practice the workflow and build a routine before applying it to your next transaction.
Reading results
Understand categories, severity, source-page references, and findings that need closer review.
Buyer conversations
Explain the findings, clarify priorities, and prepare your buyer for the response decision.
Cost context
Explain advisory estimates, their limits, and when professional quotes are needed.
Vendor guidance
Identify the relevant trade and independently compare professional options and scope.
Workflow reference
Revisit the process as you move from an uploaded report to a prepared buyer response.
Repair language
Adapt clear examples to documented findings, then review the wording before sending.
Get help with uploads or results, request a walkthrough, and share feedback as you learn. Team owners, managing brokers, and leaders can use this public example to introduce a consistent preparation process to the agents they support.
Built From a Real Agent Experience
This is the workflow I wish I had three years ago.
PropWise does not replace the inspection, the agent, qualified contractors, legal guidance, lender review, or professional judgment. It gives agents a clearer place to begin.
