ACS will take the information gathered from the site visit and compile it in one of two forms, whichever is requested by the buyer / Owner. The first is a Full Property Observation Report - which consists of a multi-page narrative, pictures of the site broken out per category and sub-category (above), and pricing guidance to help support underwriting.
The second deliverable format, is a Observation Summary Report, which will have a shorter narrative and some pictures, but mostly will be a short document or form of communication informing the buyer of a high-level condition of the site and the biggest exposure concerns with the property.
