Frequently Asked Questions

When should home inspectors send surveys?

Send two surveys: one to the buyer 24 hours after report delivery, and one to the referring agent within a week. Each audience gives different but equally valuable feedback.

What questions should a home inspection survey include?

Focus on inspection thoroughness, report clarity, on-site professionalism, timeliness, and NPS. For agents, ask about communication and whether they'd refer you again.

How can surveys help me get more agent referrals?

Agent-specific surveys show you what agents value most. Address their feedback, share your high satisfaction scores with new agents, and build a data-backed reputation.

Can surveys help improve my inspection reports?

Yes. Report clarity questions reveal if clients understand your findings. Low scores pinpoint which sections need simplification — photos, summaries, or terminology.
