What's inside
5 universal checks + 8 Nevada-only checks. 13 total in the free PDF.
Section A: Universal checks
- Confirm every space you'd expect is actually in the report.Attic, crawl space, basement, electrical panel. If the listing or the inspector mentioned it out loud, it should show up in writing somewhere.
- Check whether the report's length matches how long the inspection took.A three-hour walkthrough that turns into two pages is a mismatch worth a phone call.
- Compare what the inspector said out loud to what ended up in writing.If you took notes during the walkthrough, pull them out and read both side by side.
Section A: Universal checks
Section B: Nevada-only checks
“This gets you far enough to know when to ask a harder question, in Nevada specifically. It won't tell you whether a hairline crack is ordinary desert soil movement or subsidence-related, how to read a reserve study against a looming special assessment, or what a finding is actually worth at the negotiating table. That's the difference between noticing a report was softened and knowing what it was softened from. That's Don't Use Their Inspector.”
