Turn your inspection report into a clean, itemized Repair Request Estimate
The inspection report is only half the battle. The real friction begins during the negotiation period when agents and buyers are scrambling to find out: “How much will this actually cost to fix?” Our repair request estimate tool eliminates the guesswork. By utilizing advanced AI algorithms to analyze inspection findings, we provide instant, professional cost context that helps move the transaction toward a successful closing without the 48-hour wait for contractor bids.
Home Inspections are essential in real estate deals, but they have always lacked a very important piece of information, leaving home buyers asking, “What will this cost to fix?” ReportWriter AI can generate repair recommendations and estimated pricing directly from the defects documented during the inspection.
If having this report saves you from chasing down one contractor bid, it will pay for itself by eliminating time spent chasing down contractors for estimates.
Gives buyers a realistic estimate for what repairs will cost, helping them negotiate repairs from an informed position & eliminating guesswork.

They help:

They are intended to support clearer conversations for everyone involved.
No. Repair Request Estimates are not contractor bids and should not be treated as such. They provide general cost context, not binding quotes.
Estimates are generated using the defects documented in the inspection report, along with common repair scopes and regional pricing data to produce reasonable cost ranges.
No. Pricing is provided as an estimated range, not an exact amount. Actual costs may vary depending on contractor, scope of work, materials, and local market conditions.
No. Contractor quotes are still recommended when required. Repair Request Estimates help help reduce guesswork and provide a starting point for repair discussions.
No. Reports are sent in PDF format and can not be edited. The only exception is when the report is being generated alongside the inspection report, using the ReportWriter AI reporting software.
Clear repair recommendations and pricing context help agents:
Prepare repair requests more efficiently
Reduce back-and-forth with inspectors
Keep transactions moving forward
Buyers receive clearer information about what issues may cost to address, allowing them to approach repair discussions with better understanding instead of assumptions.
Repair Request Estimates are designed to promote clarity and fairness, not leverage. However, leverage is created by those educated and informed.
Inspectors remain responsible only for their inspection observations and report content. Repair Request Estimates are provided as informational guidance and do not guarantee actual costs.
Yes. Repair costs may vary based on region, labor rates, and market conditions. Estimates are intended to reflect general pricing context, not exact figures.
No. Inspectors can choose whether to include repair recommendations and estimates based on their workflow, market, or client needs.
Because most inspection follow-ups center around:
“What does this mean?”
“What needs to be fixed?”
“What might it cost?”
Repair Request Estimates help answer those questions upfront.
They can be included in the final inspection report or shared as part of the repair request process, depending on how the inspector delivers reports.
