Move-In, Move-Out Inspections: The Realtor Hack No One Talks About
As a realtor, you already wear a dozen hats—especially if you work with investors, rental listings, or manage properties yourself. The last thing you need is a late-night call about a cracked tile or missing screen that “wasn’t there before.”
Here’s the thing: move-in and move-out inspections aren’t just for tenants. They’re for you too.
When done right, they save time, reduce friction, and build trust with both landlords and tenants. And when done professionally? They make you look like a hero.
What Is a Move-In/Move-Out Inspection (Really)?
It’s detailed documentation of a property’s condition before a tenant moves in and after they move out. But this isn’t just a walk-through with a phone camera.
At AmeriSpec-Phoenix, a division of JRX Inspection Services, our certified inspectors document 400+ checkpoints with same-day digital reports. From flooring and fixtures to doors, drainage, and safety concerns, we cover what casual eyes often miss.
Who Should Be Using These Inspections?
If you’re:
Listing a rental on behalf of a client
