No Inspection Report Is Too Big Or Too Small For Bluetape

Read Time 2 mins | Written by: Chris Lambert

Not all inspection reports are created equal. Some run 70 pages deep, filled with structural notes, electrical updates, and every aging-system flag imaginable. Others boil down to a handful of fixes that  can still be important to the buyer. 

Bluetape was built for both.

.According to Redfin, the typical home purchased in the U.S. last year was 36 years old — the oldest on record — and nearly half of all U.S. homes were built before 1980, per CTaSC. Older homes mean longer reports, more trades, and less time to respond.

That's why we handle every scale of inspection repair, from a two-item punch list to a 400-line report. Agents don’t always know what’s coming out of an inspection — but they need one partner who can handle whatever shows up

Read about how we helped Piers Bocock, a Compass agent in the D.C., Maryland, Virginia region. His buyers loved a mid-century modern from 1961, but were hesitant to move forward after an inspection came back with 393 items on it. That kind of report can overwhelm buyers and push agents into a contingency crunch. We provided a full, multi-trade estimate that allowed Piers and his buyers to come up with a plan to move forward with the purchase. After closing, our in-house teams carried out essential repairs, turning what could’ve been a deal-breaker into a clean path to the finish line. Read the full case study
