Once you have completed your inspection you will video document the condition of that room and continue walking the house from left to right, paying special note to any items that may require special attention or note for file.  You may find it necessary to get close ups of areas to provide a more definite impression of what you are trying to capture while speaking.  For example, holes in walls, loose fixtures, cracks, or other areas of damage.  Speak in a clear voice and loud enough to be heard during the playback portion.  This is a documentary recording and can be used in a court of law as evidence, so be thorough.  However, you do not have to film every minute detail and create an epic feature film.  Use your best judgment.  Total video time should be one minute per room.

Anything you are going to charge a resident for you should take a still shot as well which you can do from the tablet so you have evidence as some courts won’t take video.

Having completed each room, you can pull down the blinds and close them as you go to the next room so when you inspected your last room you can lock the door and leave.  This will save time and once the filming the house is complete the home will be secured and you will be ready to go.  Make sure the dishwasher, the air conditioner/furnace are turned off before leaving the property as well as any lights, sprinklers, ceiling fans etc. that you may have turned on.  Place the keys are in the lock box on or near the front door so they will be available for the Vendors.
