How to Write Inspection Reports Clients Actually Read
A clear report does more for your reputation than any marketing. Here is how to structure findings, photos, and summaries so buyers and agents actually understand them.

Co-founder, Hive Inspect
Apoorv Singh is a co-founder of Hive Inspect, the AI home inspection platform used by thousands of professional inspectors across the United States. He leads the AI and software side of the product.
Before Hive Inspect he worked as an AI researcher in the autonomous vehicle industry, on perception systems that had to interpret messy real-world sensor data and be reliable enough to act on. That problem turns out to rhyme with inspection reporting: the hard part is not generating text, it is preserving the inspector’s judgment while removing the typing.
He works directly with inspectors on migrations, template builds and support, which is where most of what he writes here comes from. He is not a licensed home inspector; where a post covers inspection practice rather than software and workflow, it reflects what inspectors using Hive Inspect have reported rather than his own field experience.
