What is Picket?

A home inspection is an on-site visual and physical examination of thehome. It includes analysis of:<ul><li>Roofing</li><li>Structure</li><li>Electric</li><li>Plumbing</li><li>Heating and Cooling</li><li>Insulation and Moisture</li><li>Exterior grounds</li><li>Insect and Pest presence</li><li>Windows and Doors</li><li>Major Appliances &amp; more</li></ul>

What is a home inspection?

For most people, purchasing a home is the largest investment of theirlives. This investment should be "protected." A qualified home inspector can assist with this by providing you with an evaluation andeducation on the home you are about to purchase.With a lot of moving parts in a home, many things that can go wrong.It is likely that you have heard horror stories of the unsuspecting buyer who purchased a home, only 6 months later discovering the need to replace a furnace, or the roof is leaking, or have even become sick due to the presence of mold. It's the responsibility of the inspector to analyze the home and provide you with their professional opinion onthe condition and life expectancy of its major parts so that you canhave the most information possible to make your buying decision.

Why do I need a home inspection?

It is not recommended that one performs their own home inspection. The average home inspection involves significant knowledge of just about every aspect of the home making most people unqualified to represent themselves. Additionally, buying a home can be an emotional decision, which may add confusion or cause unnecessary tension for those involved thereby clouding judgement. That concern along with the complexities, tools and resources needed to do a proper evaluation are all reasons why a self-inspection is NOT recommended for those buyingwho may be a contractor, electrician, plumber or have some otherrelevant experience. In fact, even licensed home inspectors rarely inspect their own homes.Home inspectors are specially trained, licensed and equipped to provide you with an unbiased evaluation in a timely fashion. In fact, some states, financial lenders and other institutions require alicensed inspector to complete the inspection in some cases.

Can I perform a home inspection myself?

At Picket, we are picking the most qualified inspectors your local area has to offer in order. We are in pursuit of setting the gold standard across the inspection industry so that our customers are offered a consistent product. Verifying state licenses, insurance coverage, industry affiliations and experience of our inspector community is on the beginning. Every inspection performed is an opportunity for customer feedback and ratings of inspectors that will continue to drive incentives for us to continually improve and put thebest out front.Our philosophy has always been that we can use technology to improve aservice, but the best human beings for your job can be found in your local community! We are here to partner in and facilitate that relationship.

What qualifications do your inspectors have?

Your inspector will usually spend around 2 hours at the home with youto explain things as they arise. Typically, that is followed with anon-site "huddle" with our customers to review any major findings thatare critical to your buying decision. Your personalized report following the on-site evaluation could take up to several additional hours to organize and complete. Our goal is to have that report available to you within 24 hours!

How long does an inspection take?

Please Do! We encourage you to be at your inspection. It is your opportunity to meet your inspector and learn all about your home. Some buyers use the time to look at fine cosmetic details, some measure rooms for furniture, and others just stand back and watch our inspectors do their thing. Being onsite for the inspection is the perfect opportunity to ask your inspector, and in many cases the current homeowner, questions about the home and how things work!

Can I attend the inspection?

You can cancel or reschedule your inspection appointment up to 24 hours before.

Can I cancel or reschedule?

Although, the typical home inspection cost about $400-$650 on average,each home is unique. There are multiple factors that are used todetermine this price as the cost is largely based on the amount oftime the inspector needs to inspect the home. The location and size of the home, number of bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and the presence ofa garage or basement are some examples. Rest assured, Picket's systemwas designed to give the customer a competitive price to acquireservices from the best available talent in your local area.

How much will the inspection cost?

There are potential problems that can come up during inspections andthe inspector is there to make sure the buyer understands what mightbe involved. The inspector's goal is to educate the buyer so thatperson can take the best next steps in their home ownership journey.The inspector is not there to provide direct advice on whether oneshould or should not buy the home of interest.Often, the inspection report can be an effective tool to move forwardimmediately, but in certain circumstances they may offer the buyer theopportunity seek further negotiation, pursue other homes or any numberof other options along the way. Regardless, Picket would recommendthat the homebuyer consult with their real estate agent or otherqualified professional to offer further assistance with thosedecisions.

What happens if the inspector finds a problem with the house?

Yes, we will have your full report delivered to you electronicallywithin 24 hours. It is an incredibly detailed document that isspecific to your home, which includes many pictures of what weinspected.

Will I get a report at the end of the inspection?

Your card will not be charged until an inspector has completed yourhome inspection and the inspection is submitted by the inspector tothe Picket platform.

When will you charge my credit card?

Simply put, Picket is a platform that connects home buyers and real estate agents who need to schedule a home inspection, with local qualified home inspectors.

How much does Picket cost to join?

Realtors use Picket to make the process easier for themselves and their buyers. They still want you to be one of their few preferred inspectors because they value your service. Kudos! When a realtor has invited an inspector whom has registered with us, their next home inspection need will be generated here at Picket and you will be invited to accept the request. No phone calls or back and forth. Its instant.Being what we call a “Preferred Inspector” gives you VIP status, and you collect the lionshare of the cost of the inspection. You will also be offered random inspection jobs that are not referred by the Realtor whom invited you. Read below for more details on how that works.

A Realtor I work with referred me to Picket. Why would I join when I'm used to her calling me directly when she needs?

Picket believes in true partnership with our inspector community. With that philosophy in mind, Picket will share in a 50/50 split when an inspector completes a job through the Picket platform! It's quite simple! For a $500 inspection, you can expect to take home $250. You will always see how much any given job pays when you are invited. Choose to accept or decline!

How much will I get paid for each inspection?

Upon acceptance to the Picket community and once you have set up a bank account to accept funds from us you will be eligible to accept jobs. By time you accept a job offer the customer&rsquo;s payment information will have already been captured and you will be eligible to receive compensation once your report has been submitted and approved. Your earnings will appear the next business day in whichever account you have set up in the system for deposits.

How long will it take for me to be paid?

Nope! One of the best parts of joining our community is you get to remain working as an Independent contractor. That means you will receive a 1099 from Picket annually to reflect the earnings to have received. We highly encourage you to discuss any questions you may have with your qualified tax accountant.

Am I an employee of Picket?

Picket has a dedicated marketing team committed to securing work in your area and offering leads based on what is available. While we take pride in our ability to secure leads, it is the responsibility of you, the inspector, the perform the highest industry standards. Homebuyers will provide feedback on your performance, which drive your rating. The higher the rating that you earn will be a major component to helping you earn more jobs in the future from Picket.

How will Picket find me leads?

Well, they are actually choosing a local inspector. Picket is determined to put more inspectors to work, not out of business. We thrive when local inspectors thrive. Simply put, we offer an easy way for buyers and real estate agents to schedule unbiased inspections using their mobile phone quickly and efficiently. They can also use our portal to pay for the inspections, download their reports, and keep tabs on different aspects of their new home.

Why would a buyer choose Picket over a local inspector?

Of course! Picket is here for you to use as you wish. Our most successful inspectors use us for most, if not all of their jobs. Other inspectors continue to build their business as they have always done, and simply use the Picket platform to &ldquo;Fill in the gaps&rdquo; when they are free for more work.

Can I work for myself or another company at the same time as being a part of Picket?

Money? It may sound simple but it&rsquo;s just plain true. You are the professional home inspector. It&rsquo;s what you do well! What Picket does well is market to grow your business. We do all the difficult and tedious business and marketing tasks for you, while you do what you do best. Inspect! Not everybody likes or is good at knocking on the doors of local real estate offices trying to get known or navigating the complexities of today&rsquo;s internet marketing. When you join the Picket community you are joining something much bigger than yourself!

Why would I join Picket?

Picket requires a few basic things you should already have. Here are a few items to get you started:<ul><li>An active license if your state requires it</li><li>Liability insurance</li><li>A mobile phone</li><li>A photo for your ID badge</li><li>A bank account through which we can pay you</li><li>Tools of the trade to perform inspections</li></ul>

What do I need in order to be accepted on the Picket platform?

That really depends on you. Picket is available 24/7 for buyers and agents to request inspections. Our software works in such a way that you will be offered jobs as they are requested based on geography, availability, and your inspector rating. You will receive the details of the job "The when, where, and how much you stand to earn" via email and text. You simply choose the jobs that you are offered based on your desire to earn and availability!

Picket intends to set industry leading standards when it comes to customer satisfaction. Therefore, we have created a system where Inspectors must meet our minimum criteria to be part of our community, but also a user rating system that drives us to be better! Happy customers equals more opportunity for our best inspectors and an opportunity for struggling inspectors to step up their game. Aside from keeping your license and insurance up to date, if you show up on time, create a positive experience for the customer and upload your report in a timely fashion you have nothing to worry about! Failure to meet Picket standards means you run the risk of being excused from the network.

What might cause me to be removed from the Picket team?

Think of it as your mission control. It gives you details on your current and past inspections. It also shows you how much you have earned by accepting jobs, while also showing the amount of revenue you have passed up on by declining jobs.

What is the inspector Dashboard?

We can assure you that our pricing is in line with other local companies. Your client will know the price of the inspection prior to confirming any appointment!Oh, and one more thing. Picket does not charge Buyers until the inspection completed. Satisfaction Guaranteed!

How much does an inspection cost?

No more than your typical inspection. As you know, this mostly depends on the size of the home. It could take a little as an hour for a small home, to many hours for a large estate.

We will review our findings on site once the entire property has been inspected, and the report will be available for download within 24 hours. Most of the time they are completed the same day! These reports are extremely detailed, and are also available for Agents to view, and for Homebuyers to send with whomever they see fit.
