Residential Property Inspector

We are a mortgage field services company looking for a field inspector to cover several counties in Southeast Iowa. This would be a consistent volume of inspections to complete on a part-time basis. The area could be run by one or multiple inspectors, with logical runs set up to certain areas on a bi-weekly or monthly basis (based on your desired coverage area and home location)

Counties needed include: Washington, Louisa, Henry, Des Moines and Lee.

What are Field Inspections (AKA: Mortgage Field Inspections)?

Mortgage lenders require periodic updates on the properties they have financial interest in. The lender contracts with Big Red Preservation Services to have inspectors go out to verify the property occupancy, report general property conditions, letter delivery/posting, vacant interior walkthrough, or insurance repair progress report. Majority of our inspections are basic exteriors where some do require contact by door knock or letter delivery.

How many hours can I expect to work, and how much volume is in my area?

Each state we cover is broken down into territories/zones for logical and timely coverage by an inspector. We cannot guarantee the amount of work you will receive but we have 15+ years of volume history and are able to give volume numbers for each area we offer inspections. Depending on your location and experience 4-12 inspections can be completed per hour. Each week does vary as the Mortgage industry has strict guidelines on when inspections can be performed.

Pay and Hours:

• Set rate per inspection. Efficient inspectors typically average hourly rate of $30+ per hour based on the number of inspections performed
