very! Either the listing agent is not there or the sellers - so it is helpful to the listing side to understand the issue and for the buyers to remember.

They are very useful in referencing items for the sellers' side, since they were not present at the inspection.  It also makes the entire report much easier to understand when reviewing later, because as much as we think we will remember it all, we won't.

Extremely important, it directs everyone to the point of concern in an instant. Words can't produce that effect for those unfamiliar with the vocabulary.

They are necessary to detail specifically the noted issues and for reference to make sure the repairs by the seller before closing have been done.

I believe good photos are very important. Typically the seller and his/her contractor need to refer to them in doing requested repairs.

Vital. Since many inspectors do not write clearly the phots help the sellers know what in the world they are talking about.

Crucial for me. My investors are either out of state or out of country, but even locally an inspection report without pictures is like an MLS listing without pictures.

I think imperative!    Like today, the husband cannot attend their inspection, so viewing the photos of potential issues is a great way to keep him informed.

I have sat thru 200 home inspections now, I would not allow an inspection w/o pictures, they are that important.  For both parties to see what repair item(S) are being called to their attention.
