Inspector is the first proprietary Unlevered technology in your study. Its one job is the evidence: it sources it, validates it, and maps what changed. It builds an enriched database specific to your house, starting with the town and its market: where premiums belong, and which nearby homes we can use as a reference.

Then it reads the house at purchase, through the remodel, and today: its age, its condition and its finish. That same read powers your home's 3D model. For how the remodel is priced, watch the Surveyor video.

Then the site. Land isn't depreciable. But owners put real money into it: the trees, the plantings and the beds that are part of why someone wants to stay. Inspector identifies each one. This red oak is native to the land, so it stays with the land, and isn't depreciated. This hosta bed was planted. It's a 15-year land improvement, priced from the evidence, and with 100% bonus, it comes off in year one. That's our granular approach, in search of defensible deductions.

Then the house spatial equation solves the home from the outside in: its footprint on the lot, then every room, from its floor polygon, raised to its ceiling height. Take the living room: 164 square feet of floor, 383 of wall, with its photos from before, during and after the remodel. That's what prices the room: the flooring by its area, the drywall and paint by its walls. Then it pairs the before and the after, room by room, so what the remodel changed is on the record.
