Your inspection report will be presented on-site. No waiting! It is in binder format, which includes digital photographs of all defects, if any. There are essentially two reports. A summary report of defects (Realtors love this), and a full narrative report documenting all the components of the property in detail. Each digital photo of a defect is narrated so the buyer or seller will know exactly what, and where the defect is, and included recommendations for repair.  No guessing.  Just detail.
