Most home inspections come from agent referrals, and agents send work to inspectors who are easy to book, show up on time and keep everyone informed. Obravetta lets agents and buyers book online, sends the agreement and payment link right away, reminds the buyer, agent and seller, and keeps you top of mind with the agents who send you work. From $27/month.
A buyer may hire one home inspector in their life. An agent may refer dozens a year.
Agents work against tight deadlines. The inspector who confirms instantly, handles the paperwork and never makes them chase anything gets the next referral.
In a slow housing market, that convenience is what separates busy inspectors from quiet ones.
One inspection from the agent’s call to the review. Here’s where inspectors lose the referral, and what has to run on its own.
| Stage | What's happening | Where it dies | What has to run automatically |
|---|---|---|---|
| The request | Agent needs an inspection this week | Voicemail, agent calls the next inspector | Online booking and instant confirmation |
| Paperwork | Agreement and payment | Chasing signatures on site | Agreement and pay link sent at booking |
| The day before | Buyer, agent and seller need to know | Someone forgets, house is locked | Reminders to everyone |
| The inspection | You inspect the home | Agent doesn’t know it’s done | Done text to the agent |
| After | Report delivered | No thank-you, no review | Review request and agent thank-you |
| Next month | Agent has a new buyer | Forgot your name | Agent check-in campaign |
Not a feature list. This is one inspection when booking, paperwork and updates run for you.
An agent books Wednesday morning from your website while you’re inspecting another home. They get an instant confirmation.
Online booking · CalendarThe buyer gets the inspection agreement and a payment link by text and email.
E-signature · Payment linksThe buyer, agent and seller get a reminder with the time and address.
Appointment remindersWhen you finish, the agent gets a text that the inspection is complete and when to expect the report.
Text templates · Two-way SMSAfter the report goes out, the buyer gets a review request and the agent gets a thank-you.
Automated review requests · WorkflowsThe agent gets a friendly check-in with your booking link.
Agent pipeline · Email and SMS campaignsMost inspections come from agents, and agents send work to inspectors who make their lives easy. Put in your own numbers to see what a few more referrals are worth.
The math: agent-referred inspections per month × the extra share you win by being easier to work with × your average fee. Ancillary services like radon or sewer scopes would add to it.
They want an inspector who is professional, thorough and easy to reach. Agents want one who never causes delays.
Can we get an inspection before the deadline? Is the inspector qualified? Will someone be there to open the house? When will the report come?
Fast booking, clear paperwork, reminders and updates answer most of that.
On Obravetta Growth and Obravetta Pro, a professional home inspection website is built for you as part of the plan, not quoted separately by an agency for a few thousand dollars.
Inspection sites are used by agents and buyers on deadlines. Your site should show your services, credentials, sample report, service area, prices if you publish them, and a booking button that works on a phone.
On Obravetta Starter at $27 you get the builder and build it yourself. On Growth and Pro we build it for you.
Obravetta isn’t report software. It’s the whole business side of inspecting, and for a home inspector it breaks into six jobs.
Published figures, sourced below.
Fewer sales means more inspectors competing for each job, and older homes mean more to inspect. Being easy to work with is how you stand out.
Every plan includes a 14-day free trial, month-to-month with no contract. Annual billing charges for ten months instead of twelve.

It depends on what you need. You'll still use inspection report software to write and deliver your reports, and Obravetta doesn't replace it. Obravetta handles the business around it: online booking, agreements, payment, reminders for everyone involved, agent relationships, reviews and your website.
Be the easiest inspector to book. Agents juggle deadlines, so let them book online, confirm instantly, and send them a heads-up when the inspection is done. Keep agents in their own pipeline, check in on a schedule, and thank them when they send work.
Many inspectors require it, and some states set rules for inspection agreements. Send the agreement for e-signature when the inspection is booked, and check your state's requirements and your insurance carrier's guidance.
Many inspectors do, or at least before releasing the report. Obravetta can send a payment link with the booking confirmation so it's handled before you arrive, which saves awkward conversations at the closing table.
Fewer sales means more competition for each inspection. The National Association of Realtors reported 4.06 million existing-home sales in 2025, essentially flat with 2024 and well below the historical norm of about 5.2 million. In a slow market, being easy for agents to work with matters even more.
No, and that's an important line. We don't create or host inspection reports, checklists or defect photos. Use your report software for that and Obravetta for booking, agreements, payment, reminders, agents, reviews and the website.
Ask after the report is delivered, while the buyer is still grateful. Google's own Business Profile documentation says more reviews and positive ratings can help local ranking, and buyers who search on their own often pick the inspector with the best reviews.
Importing your client and agent lists from a CSV takes an afternoon, and online booking plus reminders can be live the same day. The part with a real wait is 10DLC registration, the carrier approval required to send business texts in the US, which takes a few business days on any platform. A built-for-you website takes longer because we need your services, service area and photos.
Yes. Obravetta Starter at $27/month is one seat and covers booking, agreements, payment and reviews. AI voice answering and the built-for-you website start on Growth at $97, which covers up to three users. Multi-inspector firms with an office usually need Pro at $297 for unlimited seats.
Fourteen days is long enough to import your clients and agents, get texting approved, and have online booking, agreements and reminders running. It doesn’t need a demo call.
