Home-Inspection Decoder

A home-inspection report is a scary wall of findings where a cracked outlet cover sits next to a failing foundation with equal visual weight. This triages it: what's actually serious, what's cosmetic, what to negotiate, and what needs a specialist before you commit — so you make the buy/negotiate/walk call with clarity instead of panic.

What This Skill Produces

• A severity triage — findings sorted into safety/structural/big-ticket vs. maintenance vs. cosmetic
• Plain-English translations — what each significant finding actually means and roughly why it matters
• Negotiation targets — which items justify a repair credit, price reduction, or seller fix
• Follow-up flags — findings that warrant a specialist (structural engineer, electrician, roofer) before proceeding
• A proceed/negotiate/walk read — an overall gut-check based on the serious findings and your risk tolerance
