For buyer's agents & transaction coordinators

Report by 9 AM. Your contingency keeps breathing.

And for the TC running the file: booking is online in about two minutes, confirmation usually lands within the hour, and the full photo report reaches your buyer the same evening — written to inform the negotiation, not detonate it.

The agent SLA

Three commitments, in writing.

You're putting your name on the referral. Here's what it's attached to — the same three numbers your client sees on the homepage, restated as working terms.

Clause 01

The 9 AM report

The full photo report reaches your buyer — and you, whenever they designate you — by 9 AM Pacific the next morning. If it's late, $50 comes off the invoice. That's company-backed, not a courtesy: it's written into the guarantee fine print, and the on-time record gets published once there's enough history to be honest about it.

Why it matters to you: a 17-day contingency with a 2–3 day report turnaround is a contingency on fire. Same-evening delivery gives your buyer the full window to read, price, and respond.

Clause 02

Published pricing

$399 condos & townhomes, $549 single-family to 2,500 sq ft, $799 to 4,000 — capped at $999, with complexity add-ons disclosed before booking. The website price is the invoice price.

Why it matters to you: no phone-quote round-trip, no "it depends" hold music. Text your TC the link — seidlininspections.com/#pricing — and the quote step disappears from the file.

Clause 03

Balanced findings

Every finding lands in one of three tiers — Safety, Negotiate, Monitor — with photos and rough local repair costs. Defects get documented; a 70-year-old beach bungalow doesn't get written up like a crime scene. The report distinguishes what can hurt someone, what's worth real money, and what's just a house being its age.

Why it matters to you: your buyer stays informed and your deal stays negotiable. Alarmist reports kill transactions that a measured, costed report would have closed with a fair credit.

Tone discipline

How we write severity.

Three findings in the house style — one per tier, drawn from the kinds of issues coastal-LA homes actually present. This is the exact register your buyer reads.

Tier 1 · Safety Finding 07 · Electrical

Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panel at garage

"This panel brand has a documented history of breakers failing to trip under fault. Recommend evaluation and replacement by a licensed electrician before close — typically $2,500–4,500 in coastal LA. Photographed with the dead-front removed."

Safety means: a condition that can plausibly hurt someone or cause major loss, flagged where visible and accessible. Used sparingly — never for drama.

Tier 2 · Negotiate Finding 14 · Plumbing

Original galvanized supply piping, ±70 years

"Functional today — pressure measured 48 psi, with noticeable flow restriction at two fixtures — but at the end of its service life. Repipe quotes in the beach cities generally run $8,000–15,000. A reasonable credit conversation, not an emergency."

Negotiate means: real money in the near term, documented with photos and rough local costs so the credit request starts from facts.

Tier 3 · Monitor Finding 31 · Exterior

Hairline stucco cracking, south elevation

"Consistent with normal settling and thermal movement. Seal and repaint at the next maintenance cycle; photograph and watch for widening. No action needed for close."

Monitor means: a house aging as expected. It goes in the report so nothing is buried — and stays out of the negotiation noise.

Every report also logs time on site, systems tested, and anywhere access wasn't safe or possible — with the documented reason. Defects documented, panic avoided.

For the TC

Three touches. Zero phone-tag.

The whole coordination surface, start to finish. Everything arrives in writing, so the file stays clean.

The referral, protected

Your client stays your client.
And when something goes wrong, here's the plan.

We don't market to your clients.

Your buyer's contact information is used for exactly two things: scheduling the inspection and delivering the report. That's the whole list.

No drip campaigns or "home maintenance" newsletters
No warranty upsells or vendor cross-promotion
No selling, sharing, or renting the contact list
Post-report questions answered for 12 months — when they call us

The relationship is yours. The next referral gets earned the same way this one was: on the work.

If we miss something.

No inspection sees inside walls, and a report is a snapshot of accessible systems on a single day. So the posture is set in advance, not improvised under pressure:

Call first. Daniel picks up or calls back the same day — the buyer, the agent, or the TC.
Revisit. He returns to the property, documents the condition, and compares it against the report and photos.
Resolve. If the report should reasonably have caught it, remediation gets worked out directly with your buyer — and E&O coverage [DANIEL: E&O carrier + coverage amount] stands behind the outcome.

No stonewalling, no blame-shifting, no disappearing act. Agents remember how an inspector behaves the one time something goes sideways — that moment is part of the service.

Paperwork

The file your broker asks for.

Everything a compliance desk wants, in one place. Certificates available on request.

License / certification: [DANIEL: license or certification #]
Errors & omissions insurance: [DANIEL: E&O carrier + coverage amount] — certificate of insurance available on request
Standards of practice: Every inspection performed to the CREIA Standards of Practice — the standard is the floor, not the ceiling
Report format: Digital photo report, 100+ photos typical, three-tier severity, delivered by 9 AM Pacific the next morning
Time on site: Minimum 2.5 hours for single-family homes to 2,500 sq ft; scales with size, logged in every report

Judge the writing

Read a report before you refer one.

The fastest way to vet an inspector is the prose. Full-length redacted sample — all three tiers, real photos, the summary your buyer would actually receive.
