Home Inspectors
Keep home inspection requests tied to the property
A buyer and their representative may both ask about an inspection.
The short version
- Capture the property, requested inspection type, access coordinator, and preferred timing.
- Separate a customer's request from a confirmed appointment, approved scope, or completed action.
A buyer and their representative may both ask about an inspection. The office needs one property request with clear contacts, not duplicate bookings under different names.
Clarify the request first
Capture the property, requested inspection type, access coordinator, and preferred timing. Record any customer-reported transaction deadline for review. Keep booking details separate from inspection findings, which are produced through the inspector's process.
Build a useful intake
Use these as prompts, not a questionnaire to read out in full. Confirm what you already know, ask what changes the next step, and leave unrelated fields blank.
- Property address
- Property type
- Requested service
- Client-stated timeframe
- Access contact
Keep the next step clear
Bring the property details, customer questions, and requested inspection window into one opportunity. Your inspector can review the scope, confirm timing, and keep the client informed through the inspection and report process.
Test it with your team
Try this with test details before changing your live reception process:
Test a representative changing the time on a buyer's request. Check who must receive the confirmation.
Have a colleague who did not take the original call review the record. They should be able to explain what is requested, what remains unconfirmed, and which action they own. If they have to reconstruct the conversation, change the intake or the handoff.
Bring the details together
Zweelie can connect calls, messages, contacts, forms, opportunities, files, and notes. Use that shared history to give the next person context, then assign the next action and a follow-up reminder. Configure access for the people who need it; keep specialist records in the systems approved for that work.
