I am an Inspector / Inspection Company

How To Become a Member

At PaperlessInspectors.com we’ve found that many inspectors working on their own are completing forms for agents incorrectly because they haven’t been properly trained, are not insured, have dodgy backgrounds or are guaranteeing they will save clients at least the cost of the inspection fee. These are all red flags for our industry and PaperlessInspectors.com is working to eliminate these companies competing against reputable inspectors like yourself.

Once you are approved for the program, you will carry the CII designation. CII’s follow a strict Standard of Practice and Code of Ethics for all inspections and surveys performed. Click here to view these policies.
