Task list for the owner
The owner sees a short list of photos to take, each with a hint, such as stand in the corner and show the whole room. Done items get a tick and the progress bar fills up.
Property inspections from a phone, checked by an inspector
Owners follow a task list and take guided photos and a short walk-through video. Inspectors review every photo and write a report for the lender.
§1
What goes into every report
Six parts work together so a lender can trust photos taken by the owner.
Guided camera
The camera shows a frame on the screen and tells the owner if the picture is sharp and well lit. It records the place and time, and it does not allow photos from the gallery.
Walk-through video
The owner records a short video through the rooms. The console shows if the video was taken at the address and says that it was not edited.
Inspector review
The inspector sees every photo in a grid next to a checklist. A photo can be marked as clear or flagged with a note, such as a mark on the ceiling that needs a closer look.
Ask for more
If something is unclear, the inspector asks the owner for a new photo in one click. The owner gets a new task and the case goes back to the inspector when it is done.
Report for the lender
When the review is finished, the console writes a report with the photos, the checklist, the flags and the inspector's notes. The lender can read it online or download it.
§2
On the inspector's desk
Owners send photos from the property. Inspectors and lenders work on the web.
§3
The life of one check
FormA
Request a check
A loan officer enters the owner's phone number and the address. The owner gets a link to the app and a task list.
FormB
Take the photos
The owner walks through the flat, follows the hints, takes the photos and records a short video. The app says when everything is sent.
FormC
Review and ask
The inspector opens the case, flags a mark on a ceiling and asks for a closer photo. The owner sends it the same day.
FormD
Close the case
The inspector ticks the checklist, adds a note and approves. The lender receives the report and the case moves to the next step.
§4
Three rules that keep photos honest
Guided camera
The camera tells the owner if a photo is sharp and well lit before it is kept.
Place and time on every photo
Each photo records where and when it was taken. Gallery uploads are not allowed.
Ask for one more photo
The inspector can ask for a new photo in one click, and the owner sends it back.
§5
Who fills in which part
Owners
Follow a short task list, take the photos and send them from your phone.
Inspectors
Review photos next to a checklist, flag marks that need a closer look and approve.
Lenders
Read the finished report online or save a copy, with photos and notes.
§6
Questions and answers
What is a remote property inspection?
It is a check of a property done without sending anyone there. The owner takes photos and a short video with a phone, and a trained person looks at them and writes a report.
How is the photo and report data kept safe?
Photos and reports are stored on secure servers and sent over encrypted links. Each lender sees only its own cases, and every view and change is logged.
Can you build a remote inspection app like this for my business?
Yes. We can build the owner app, the inspector console and the report, and set the checklist to match what your lender, insurer or agency needs.
How does the app know the photos are real?
Each photo and video records the time and the place it was taken. The app shows if it is near the address. Photos from the gallery are not accepted.
What if a photo is not clear?
The inspector flags it and asks the owner for a new one with a short message. The owner gets a task in the app with a hint on what to show.
