What is an Occupancy Verification?

Mortgage lenders require periodic updates on their properties and to do this they send out independent contractors. The purpose of the property inspection is:

• To verify property occupancy.
• To report on the general condition of the property using a mobile application.

Most inspections are exterior only. About 10% require interior photos after the property has gone vacant.

We contract with inspectors at a county level. This means you would be responsible to complete all inspections in your county. In some cases, you will split the county with another inspector if there is enough volume for two inspectors.

• Most common type of inspection should only take 5-6 minutes.
• Complete the inspection within 4 days after it is assigned.
• Report general property conditions and determine occupancy based on industry standards.
• Take 9+ photos of the property with brief comments.
• Complete a short form in an app.
• Requires being able to spend extended periods of time driving while making numerous stops during the day in the assigned territory.

• Ability to manage time and meet deadlines.
• Knowledge of residential property conditions and basic camera use.
• Reliable internet connection.
• Valid driver’s license and vehicle (or reliable ride‑share alternative).
• Availability 4 days a week.
