Four hours in the crawlspace, the attic and the panel. Forty pages, photographed and referenced. The buyer reads it once, negotiates with it, files it, and by the time they sell it is gone. The next inspector rediscovers everything you already found.
Your report is held permanently, branded as yours, signed by you, with your photographs beside the findings they illustrate. Your client can open it years later and it is still there, still legible, still attributed to you.
It stays yours and theirs. An inspection is not attached to the property and the current owner cannot see it. You are engaged by a buyer; the seller owns the house. If the sale falls through, nothing you wrote follows a property whose owner never commissioned it. If your client completes the purchase, they can bring your report onto their own record so the history of that house starts with your work.
That is the difference between a document and a record. A document is read once. A record is what the next buyer, the next lender and the next inspector all start from.
Your own sections and items, saved once and used on every inspection. We supply a starting point covering the usual scope so you are not staring at an empty page, and you can rewrite all of it.
Your company, your licence number, your contact details, your footer. The report your client receives carries your branding. Ours appears once, at the bottom, to say we did not perform the inspection.
Tap to open the camera while you are standing in the crawlspace. Each photograph attaches to the finding it illustrates and prints beside it.
Signed in your name with your licence, and pinned to what the report contained when you signed. Nobody signs on your behalf and nothing changes after delivery.
Delivery emails a branded PDF, not a link and an instruction to press print. Findings ordered by your grading, worst first, and no finding split across a page.
Putting a report on the registry never costs anything and never will. You are a source of evidence, and charging for that would be charging for the thing that makes any of this worth having. No per-report charge, no seat count.
The tool itself is , billed once a year. If your association already has an arrangement with us, say so when you sign up.
Most owners have already recorded what they know: the year the roof went on, the year the panel was changed, whether there is a sump. All of it marked as stated by them rather than read off a document. You arrive after that and look at the same building.
Where your finding and their entry sit on the same record, both are kept and both are attributed. Nothing here decides which is right and nothing overwrites what you wrote. An inspection that confirms what the owner stated and one that corrects it are both worth having, and today neither survives past closing.
Every finding carries your name, your company and your credential, with the date. Not anonymised into a score, not paraphrased into a summary. What you observed, in your words, attributed to you.
We record what a qualified person stated and what happened next. We do not re-interpret your severity language, we do not adjudicate disagreements between professionals, and we never express an opinion on a finding. Two professionals disagreeing is itself information and both positions stand.
A buyer leaves your inspection with a list and no context. On the record, each finding sits next to the system's age, its service history and its replacement window, so "recommend monitoring" lands with something behind it.
Walking into a home with its record in hand is a different job. The furnace's real install date, what was repaired in 2019, which warranty is still live. You spend your four hours on what is not already known.
Filing is free and always will be. Putting a report on the registry never costs anything, with no per-report charge and no seat count, because charging for the thing that makes the registry worth having would be a poor way to run one.
What the fee is for. The report goes out under your name and your branding, not ours, from templates you control. Your findings stay attached to the building with your credential and the date on them, so the work you did in 2026 is still attributed to you when somebody opens that record in 2034. You see what previous professionals recorded before you walk in.
Billed once a year rather than monthly: twelve small charges lose roughly double the payment fees of one, and a decision made once holds better than one made twelve times.
Create your account →It is not a replacement for an inspection and it is never presented as one, on this site or anywhere in the product. An Asset History Report is built from documents. Nobody attended the property, nobody opened a panel, nobody looked at anything. It says so on every report.
An inspection is one expert, on one day, looking with their own eyes. The record is the other seven thousand days. Buyers should have both, and a buyer who has read a home's record arrives at your inspection asking better questions.
Inspector accounts require credential details, which are recorded with each finding. Filing to the registry is free. Harmelo records what a qualified party stated, when, and what happened next. It does not verify, endorse, adjudicate or express an opinion on any finding, and nothing on a record constitutes an engineering or inspection opinion by Harmelo Corp.
