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 that 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.
