What do agents look for when they refer a home inspector?
Spectora’s 2026 industry survey asked 433 agents. The top answers were accuracy and thoroughness (53%), clear reports (48%), and good communication (47%). Price came last, at 7%.
The report is the product. It’s what the agent reads, what the buyer shares, and what gets pulled out if something goes wrong later.
With 71% of inspectors now using AI somewhere in their workflow, faster reports won’t set you apart. Clear, consistent reports that sound like you will.
That’s how we built SwiftReporter. You capture photos, video or voice. The AI drafts the narrative using your saved comments, tone and glossary. You review every line before it goes out.
How are you using AI in your inspections? What’s helped, and what hasn’t?
