Owners · Managers · Tenants & guestsEvery finding tied to a photoNothing sends without approval
Somebody walks the unit either way. Right now that walk produces nothing — the scope gets rebuilt from memory, the deposit letter gets written days later from the same memory, and the tenant, who wasn’t standing there when it was written, has only somebody’s word for it.
WalkSpec turns the walk into two documents: a sequenced make-ready scope for the trades, and an itemized deposit statement with the state’s deadline on it. And if nobody wants to drive out — send a link. The tenant or the guest walks it themselves, in a browser, no app and no account. Same walk. Same file. Nothing new to learn.
No card. No demo call to sit through. Nothing reaches a tenant until a person has read every line and approved it.

The turn you run today
Forty photos land in a camera roll in no particular order, with no notes attached. Whoever took them knows what they saw. For about a day.
Three calls to three trades, each one guessing at hours. Somebody shows up before the painter's done and works the same room twice.
Round down to stay safe and eat the difference — or charge for it and hope it holds up. Either way the tenant wasn't standing there when it was written, and has only somebody's word for it.
What changes
WalkSpec replaces the memory step — for everybody in the move-out, not just the person who owns the building. The unit still gets walked, a person still decides what gets charged, the trades are still yours. Nothing else about the day moves.
The output
Grouped by trade and sequenced, so nobody works the same room twice.
Every line tied to a photo, a wear-and-tear call, and a statute.
Who holds the phone
Send a walk link and the tenant or guest does it themselves, room by room, prompted as they go. The link expires, it can be pulled back, and it only ever lets them add to the record — never read it. They can’t see a finding, a wear-and-tear call, or a dollar figure. What they hand back lands in the same review queue as a walk you shot yourself.
The owner walks it. Your own phone, your own unit
Your manager walks it. No training call, no rollout
The tenant or guest walks it. In a browser — no app, no account
A tenant-filmed walk waits for a human before it becomes anything. Nothing leaves the app on its own.

The part nobody else will say
Every other tool in this category quietly helps you charge tenants more. That’s the pitch, even when it isn’t said out loud. WalkSpec is deliberately built the other way — it will tell you when you can’t charge for something.
A $60 deduction you can’t defend costs you $3,000 in a bad-faith judgment.
That’s not a compliance feature bolted on the side. It is the reason the thing exists. Conservative statements are the ones that survive a courtroom.
It’s also the only reason a tenant would ever agree to film their own move-out. They’ll hand you the evidence because the thing reading it was built to talk you out of charging them for it.
If the model can't cleanly separate a scuff from damage, it isn't damage. The tie goes to the tenant, every time.
A seven-year-old carpet on a seven-year schedule is worth nothing. You'll be told that plainly, even when you'd rather not hear it.
If it isn't on film, it doesn't reach the statement. That's the line that holds up when somebody's attorney reads it.
Straight answers
Landlords, managers and tenants all arrive at this page suspicious of it, usually for opposite reasons. So these are the real answers, including the ones that don’t flatter me.
Photos capture what you chose to point at, in the order you happened to walk. And they don't write your scope or your statement — you still do both, from memory, days later. What do those two jobs cost you today?
It does, and it produces a report. A report isn't a sequenced work list your trades can price, and it isn't a state-compliant deposit statement. WalkSpec exports into Buildium and DoorLoop. You're not choosing between us.
Neither do I, which is why it isn't allowed to act like it does. It never outputs a final dollar amount on its own and it never sends anything to anybody. It drafts, you decide. It is specifically tuned to talk you out of charges you can't defend.
Because it's faster than coordinating a walkthrough around somebody else's Tuesday, and because the record it produces cuts their way more often than not — ambiguous findings default to normal wear, and nothing gets charged without a photo. A tenant who films the unit themselves is a tenant who can prove what it looked like when they left.
The invite is capture-only and time-limited, and the walk is a continuous recording rather than a set of chosen stills — gaps are visible as gaps. It also can't skip review: a tenant-filmed walk lands in a queue and waits for a human to accept, modify, or reject it before it becomes a scope or a statement.
The walk they filmed. Nothing else. No findings, no wear-and-tear calls, no dollar figures — that's enforced at the link, not by politeness, so nobody reads 'damage, $400' before it's been reviewed by a person. They see the statement when it's sent to them, the same as always.
It stays tied to the unit and the move-out, so it can be pulled up two years later when somebody disputes a charge — which is the whole point of filming in the first place. Whoever filmed it has a claim to it: a tenant who walked their own unit can get their copy of that walk.
Fit, honestly
Get in line
WalkSpec turns a move-out walkthrough into a sequenced make-ready scope and an itemized deposit statement, with every line tied to a photo. Whoever’s standing in the unit can do the walking — you, whoever manages the property, or the tenant or guest on their own phone. Tell me which one you are and I’ll tell you when it opens for you.
One email, one question. I’ll tell you when it opens for your side of the move-out.
