What is an Occupancy Verification?

Mortgage lenders require periodic updates on their properties and send out independent contractors to do this. 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.
