Inspector performance tracking

Frequently Asked Questions

When should home inspectors survey clients?

Same-day after report delivery — when buyers are reading the report and the experience is fresh. Add referring-agent survey within 48 hours and a 30-day post-closing follow-up to capture review intent.

What questions should home inspection surveys include before committing to a quality lead?

Inspector thoroughness, report clarity, on-site communication with buyer, response time, professional demeanor, photo/video quality and NPS. Buyers and agents weight these differently — separate flows. Keep the result attached to reason codes so the site audit can act without rereading every comment.

How do surveys grow agent referrals (the lifeblood of inspection)?

Survey the referring agent, not just the buyer. "Would you refer us again?" and "did the report help close the deal?" reveal what agents actually need. Inspectors that act grow agent referrals 30–50% — and agents drive 70% of bookings.

Can I evaluate inspectors individually?

Yes. Each survey tags inspector, property type and price tier. Owner sees ranked dashboards; top inspectors get the high-value leads, weak ones get coaching on report quality and on-site communication.

How do surveys reduce E&O claims and complaints?

Survey "did the report match what you found later?" 30 days post-closing. Catches missed items before they become lawsuits. Companies that act cut E&O claims 25–40% — direct insurance premium impact.

Does SurveyNinja integrate with inspection report software for the service manager before the site audit?

Yes. Via webhooks, Zapier and the API we connect with Spectora, ISN (Inspection Support Network), HomeGauge, HouseMaster, HomeHubZone and most scheduling tools. Surveys auto-trigger by report delivery. Tie the answer to benchmark movement and bring it to the support standup as a workflow fix input.

How am I alerted to deal-killing reports or angry agents in real time?

Low scores or critical keywords ("killed my deal", "alarmist", "missed major", "won't use again", "complaint") trigger instant Slack alert to owner. Same-day call to agent and buyer salvages most relationships and future referrals.

Which Inspector rating pattern belongs in the operations sync?

Yes. The template library includes post-report buyer, referring agent, 30-day closing, ancillary services (radon, mold, pool), pre-listing inspection and commercial property. Editable in minutes.

How do surveys support ancillary service attach (radon, mold, sewer)?

Surveys reveal which add-ons buyers wished they'd ordered. Inspectors that pitch the right ancillaries based on data grow attach 25–40% — pure margin since the truck and inspector are already on-site.

How do surveys help generate Google reviews from buyers and agents?

Promoters (NPS 9–10) get auto-prompted at peak satisfaction (post-report and post-close) for Google review. Home inspectors typically 4–6× review volume in 90 days — local SEO gold in a category where reviews drive 60%+ of organic bookings.
