Documented. Defensible. Done.
Greater Richmond, VA metro. Every report delivered within 24 hours of the completed inspection.
Let's talkEvery hour your staff spends walking units is an hour off owner calls, leasing, and maintenance.
You pay per inspection. No payroll, payroll taxes, mileage, or idle time between them.
Sharper details, fewer misses, all from an inspector who knows where problems hide.
Your volume sets the schedule, not your staffing.
Same inspector, same process, same report format on every unit.
An independent report shows owners their property is getting professional attention — a concrete edge when you pitch new management contracts.
A dated, photographed record from an independent professional gives deposit decisions and owner conversations solid footing. That's the product.
View a sample reportRoom-by-room baseline with photo documentation before the tenant takes possession. The record every later conversation refers back to.
Condition at move-out against the move-in baseline. A dated, photographed record to base your deposit decision on.
Mid-tenancy condition check. Flags deferred maintenance and condition issues before they get expensive.
A condition record from day one of your management. Protection against inheriting disputes over pre-existing issues.
Book it when the tenant gives notice — it's on the calendar weeks before the unit is empty, and inspected the first business day after move-out.
Schedule it once your turn work is complete, typically 2–3 days before the new tenant arrives. That leaves room to handle anything the inspection flags.
Send a list for the month. Inspectionist schedules directly with your tenants, with proper notice, so your staff isn't chasing appointments.
Request it when you take over a property — a clean starting record from day one.
Angelo Santos spent eight years inside Richmond property management companies — leasing, assistant property manager, property manager — and watched inspections lose the daily fight for staff time. Since 2024 he has performed more than 1,000 of them, first as a dedicated in-house inspector, now through Inspectionist. Every inspection is his: one inspector, one standard, no handoffs. Inspectionist LLC carries general liability and errors & omissions coverage.
No. These are condition and occupancy inspections — room-by-room documentation of what a property looks like on a given date, with photos. They don't evaluate structure, roofing, or building systems, and they aren't a substitute for a licensed home inspection.
Whatever fits your workflow: lockbox codes, key pickup, or meeting your staff on site.
Yes. Inspectionist schedules routine inspections directly with your tenants, with proper notice, or works around your schedule — whichever you prefer.
Every report comes as both a web link and a PDF, with full photo documentation.
Reports document condition only. Every client's lease is different, so reports state what was observed and leave lease interpretation to you. Anything unsafe or hazardous gets flagged immediately.
Set up per client to match your accounting process: per-inspection invoicing or consolidated billing on a schedule that works for you.
