In this episode of Moose Tales, Jon from Two Moose Home Inspections discusses the importance of using 360-degree cameras during home inspections. He explains that these cameras provide a comprehensive view of every room, exterior, attic, crawl space, roof, and underneath decks. Jon delves into the concept of fisheye lenses and how they enable the camera to capture a wider field of view. The primary motivation behind using 360-degree cameras is to employ a "Cover Your Ass" (CYA) approach, reducing the risk of legal actions against home inspectors. Jon recounts his initial challenge with a large house, leading to the adoption of 360-degree cameras, streamlining the inspection process.
Furthermore, Jon highlights the various benefits of using 360-degree photos, emphasizing their role in resolving disputes and ensuring transparency. He shares instances where these photos helped counter claims about the condition of blinds or accusations of trashing a house during inspections. The podcast explores the practical applications of 360-degree cameras in challenging spaces like crawl spaces, roofs, and attics, where the extendable pole feature proves advantageous. Jon also discusses how these photos serve as valuable resources for clients undertaking home remodels, enabling them to visualize before-and-after scenarios.
Finally, Jon touches on the potential for 360-degree cameras to contribute to a secondary income stream through offering pre-listing inspections. He briefly mentions the use of Matterport for virtual tours and its limited success in the local market, while emphasizing the continued capability to provide this service if market conditions change. The episode concludes with Jon asserting that the investment in 360-degree cameras has been one of the best for his home inspection business.
