Who hires residential insurance inspectors?

Residential insurance inspectors are often brought in during the sale or construction of a home or other residential property. Because of this, most residential insurance inspectors are hired on by insurance companies who are offering coverage on the building. Banks and other mortgage lenders may also have their own insurance inspector on their payroll. There are also a number of independent companies who offer their services as inspectors, typically to homeowners and businesses who don’t need a full-time insurance inspector on staff. If you’ve already begun work as an insurance inspector, you can also start your own business.
