Your prompt

My buyer just got their home inspection report and feels overwhelmed. Report findings (personal details removed): [PASTE REPORT FINDINGS]

Inspection contingency deadline: [DATE]. Relevant contract terms: [REPAIR REQUEST LIMITS, AS-IS CLAUSE, OR 'STANDARD']

Please:
1. Sort every finding into Safety/Major (address before closing), Important (negotiate or budget) and Minor (FYI), quoting the report's wording
2. For each Safety/Major and Important item, list options: seller repair, credit, specialist evaluation, accept and budget, or cancel under the contingency
3. Draft a calm, plain-English email to the buyer with a one-page summary

Don't estimate repair costs or diagnose beyond the report; flag items that need a licensed contractor's quote. Remind me that repair requests and cancellation must follow our contract, and to confirm with my broker.

AI output is a draft. Read every word before a client does.

When to use it

A buyer just received a long inspection report and can't tell what really matters.

Tip for a better answer

Paste the inspector's own summary section too; if the AI's categories differ from the inspector's, call the inspector to clarify before your buyer decides.

How to push the first draft further

Reply “shorter” or “half the length”. First drafts run long.
Ask for “three versions with different tones” and keep the best lines from each.
Paste something you wrote that sounds like you and say “match this voice”.
