This thread may exist but I could not find it.  Have you got a good well crafted blurb that you would like to share?  What I mean is this.  Below you will find what I put on my summary page as an intro:

The Report Overview is provided to allow the reader a brief overview of the findings of the report. The summary includes those items of a serious nature that relate to safety and function. The summary is not a complete listing of all the findings in the report and reflects the opinion of the inspector. Reading this page alone is not a substitute for reading the report in its entirety. The entire Inspection Report, including the InterNACHI Standards of Practice, Scope of Inspection, limitations shown throughout the report, and the Inspection Agreement you signed previously must be carefully read to fully assess the findings of the inspection. This list is not intended to determine which items may need to be addressed per the contractual requirements of the sale of the property. Any areas of uncertainty regarding the sale contract should be clarified by consulting an attorney or your real estate agent.<br>
It is recommended that any deficiencies and the components/systems related to these deficiencies noted in the report be evaluated/inspected as needed by licensed contractors/professionals <b>PRIOR TO THE CLOSE OF ESCROW</b>. It is important to keep in mind that Home Inspectors are generalists only, and may not have the technical expertise to make informed decisions on how best to remediate problems/deficiencies in a particular system and/or component. Further evaluation prior to the close of escrow is therefore recommended so that a properly licensed professional can evaluate the concerns in this report to determine the best course of action to remediate the problem/deficiencies if any.<br>
Please remember that a Home Inspector is not a code compliance inspector and cannot legally state if a structure, component or system has been installed or currently exists in a state that would be considered "code compliant".  Only building officials recognized by the city having jurisdiction in your area can make such a claim.  Further, Home Inspectors do not verify if a permit or certificate of occupancy exists for any addition or other remodeling project that might have been undertaken at the property.  As part of the buyers dues diligence, we recommend that this process of discovery be undertaken by someone with expertise and authority prior to the close of escrow.

You can get quite a few by looking over other guys sample reports in this section. I like the idea of starting a thread for different sections like, summary intros though. Yours looks good!

Yes, I think it would be helpful if we can make it searchable.  Maybe a forum called SECTION INTRODUCTIONS and each thread could have a specific name.  Mine in this case could be called SUMMARY INTRO. or something.
