Commercial Property Inspector - (Hartford) in Hartford, Connecticut For Sale

Are you looking for a part-time, flexible position to supplement your core real estate business interests? Do you want to expand your exposure to the commercial side of the industry? If you are a self-motivated individual with experience in property inspection, come join our team as a Commercial Property Inspector.Our inspectors work out of their homes, making contact with borrowers, scheduling inspections, and preparing/uploading the subsequent reports to the company website. This position is ideally suited for those with other business interests, such as appraisal, home inspection, real estate investment, property management, and engineering.While the corporate office provides direction and support, inspectors are expected to work independently and efficiently, with minimal supervision, providing a steady flow of work and consistently meeting hard due dates. Schedules are flexible, with appointments set at the mutual convenience of the inspector and property contact. As inspectors are paid by both time and mileage, they are expected to work quickly and efficiently. Clustering properties together to maximize inspection days is a key part of the inspection process.Inspectors serve as the eyes and ears of the client (lender), assessing how a property is performing in terms of physical condition, occupancy, and management. The physical inspection includes inspection of all exterior areas, interior common areas, a select number of occupied/vacant units, and roof/mechanical areas.New inspectors are provided with a paid day of training which generally includes accompanying a seasoned inspector on several inspections. Ongoing training and support are provided.The flow of work fluctuates based on client assignments and the geographic location. While we can provide good estimates of volume in assigned territories based on prior years work, we can make no guarantees. Some of our clients provide us long-term assignments, which we are able to complete throughout the year. Other lenders provide assignments with a four to six-week turnaround time. Occasionally, two-week rush inspections are scheduled.The ideal candidate has the experience and/or training to adequately assess the physical condition of a property, preferably one to three years of real estate/construction experience. He or she must have strong communication and interpersonal skills, good computer/technology skills plus his or her own equipment for use on the job (computer, fax machine, digital camera, scanner), reliable transportation, and the physical ability to inspect properties, including roofs.Compensation is based on a two-tier employee (W-2) structure: $16/hour for the inspection rate and $12/hour for the driving rate plus mileage reimbursement. The lower driving rate is used only when the inspector is commuting. All other work is billed at the higher inspection rate, which typically includes time spent scheduling, inspecting, and typing reports. Depending on the territory, about three-quarters of the total hours billed are at the higher inspection rate. Mileage is reimbursed at 48.5 cents per mile round trip.
