Brian Zitin explains how inspectors could collect property information during existing visits, potentially making nationwide appraisals faster and less expensive.
The brief
Reggora CEO Brian Zitin presents HomeInspector.com as free operating software for home inspectors, covering everything from websites and scheduling to reports, payments, and accounting.
The strategic bet is broader than software: Reggora wants experienced inspectors to collect detailed property data while appraisers remain responsible for valuation, preserving the separation required for appraisal independence.
Zitin says AI makes sophisticated software affordable at no cost to inspectors, creating a potential nationwide network of qualified data collectors without requiring them to accept Reggora assignments.
Reggora is already completing 24-hour appraisals nationwide using dedicated collectors; inspectors’ existing visits could lower costs, reduce repeat trips, and help reach rural markets.
The episode frames inspection and appraisal uncertainty as linked pain points in home purchases, with better data collection positioned as a way to make valuations faster and more reliable.
