Remember when you had to do a routine inspection, and you would have to pull out your Street Directory to work out how to get to the property? Then you would use your SD card to download your photos.

We delve into the current state of these reports, the significance for insurance purposes, and the role of Inspection Express in this process. It's not just about getting the clients to open the reports, it's about making them a valuable part of the property management experience.

Lastly, we immerse ourselves in the features and benefits of Inspection Express. This isn't just a product, it's a revolution in the Western Australian property management process.
