Inspector

Property Pros
Arnold, MO Full Time | Part Time
POSTED ON 9/17/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 1/14/2027

Property Pros (joinpropertypros.com) is hiring field inspectors. Orders are assigned in your own county, so you work close to home. Volume varies by area.

What the job actually is

Mortgage servicers and insurance carriers need to know the real, current condition of the properties they cover. They can't see them from an office, so they order an inspection. You're the person who drives out, documents what's there, and sends back a clean report.

You'll run five types of orders:

- Drive-by / occupancy — confirm whether a property is occupied, vacant, or unknown, from the curb.

- Exterior — photograph and describe the condition of the outside of the home.

- Interior — walk-through documenting the condition of each room and the home's systems.

- Insurance loss / repair verification — confirm completed repairs match the work order, before and after.

Every order is photos plus written notes. GPS and time stamps on, clear shot of the address, full sentences in the notes, factual rather than assumed. Do that consistently and you'll never have a report kicked back.

Pay

You're paid per completed inspection — this is not a salaried position. Inspectors in this role earn between $24,000 and $70,000 a year.

That's a wide range on purpose, and it's worth explaining. The low end is someone working this part-time around another job. The high end is a full-time inspector who has learned to route a day efficiently and clusters their orders instead of crossing the county twice. Where you land is largely up to how much you take on.

Schedule

You're an independent contractor. There's no shift and no clock — orders come with due dates, and how you arrange your day between them is yours. Most inspection work happens in daylight, so plan around that.

What you need

- Valid driver's license

- Your own vehicle, registered and insured

- Smartphone with a working camera and GPS

- Willingness to complete a background check

- 18 or older

- Able to write a clear, professional sentence — the report is half the job

- Comfortable working alone, on your feet, outdoors, in whatever the weather is doing

- Professional appearance and demeanor at the door (you'll wear a Property Pros ID badge)

No prior experience is required. It helps, but we train every inspector from scratch and nobody is dispatched before they're certified.

Nice to have

- Prior mortgage field services or property inspection experience — Safeguard, InspectorADE, or similar platforms

- Already inspecting for another company. Working with several companies at once is normal in this industry. We're not asking you to leave anybody; plenty of our inspectors run Property Pros orders alongside what they already do.

- Any background where you documented conditions for a living: appraisal, claims, delivery, code enforcement, property preservation

Training

Five modules, all online, all tracked so you always know where you stand: site safety, photo standards and GPS tagging, reading occupancy indicators, building a clean submission package, and field conduct. You can't skip ahead, and you're cleared for work the moment all five are done. No one steps onto a property before they're certified.
