Signature First: Inspection Surveys Simplified
We know how convoluted inspection reporting can get, and we also know how simple it can be with the right approach.
We've optimized the process for our customers, ensuring they receive the information they need—quickly and cost-effectively—in order to have confidence in their underwriting decisions.
Signature First is our suite of property insurance inspection surveys.
Built on data from our network of on-site inspectors, these surveys are accurate, timely, and tailored to your inspection report requirements.
Our Inspection Survey Suite
Comprehensive Underwriting Survey
A survey of both the interior and exterior of the home to validate a home's condition and ensure it meets with a carrier’s underwriting criteria. This is a full property inspection that leaves no detail unexamined.
Exterior Survey
A focused survey of the property’s exterior details. This inspection may include roof and surrounding risks and hazards as needed to confirm condition and establish an accurate replacement cost. This is ideal for properties that don’t require a full interior evaluation.
Digital Self-Survey
A semi-customizable survey, performed by the policyholder or other interested party using their phone. Ample photographs and easy-to-answer questions document the home and condition. Can be used for a variety of other purposes.
Condo Survey
A condo-specific survey that covers interior condition and unit valuation. This inspection is tailored to the unique factors associated with condo properties. Those may include unit-specific upgrades in layout, appliances, and finishes.
Course of Construction Survey
A specialized survey for a property under construction either as a new build or remodel. Includes an interview with the contractor or builder and is given urgent priority to keep pace with active construction timelines.
Replacement Cost Appraisal
A survey of the property intended to establish accurate replacement cost using a valuation method of the client’s choice.
The Signature Process
01
Discovery Call
Every engagement starts with listening. We take the time to understand your reporting needs, your expectations, and the specifics of your situation before we propose anything.
02
Solutioning
We know one size rarely fits all. Together we build a plan around your needs, aiming at the in-depth property data points unique to each situation.
03
Pilot
Before we scale, we test. The pilot phase is a low-risk opportunity to put the plan into practice, confirm outcomes, and make adjustments before full implementation.
04
Implementation
Once aligned, we move. Surveys are produced at scale with the same accuracy and attention to detail established in the pilot.
05
Monitoring & Feedback
We are relentless when it comes to the client experience. We don't disappear after implementation. We actively monitor performance, provide feedback, and work with you on what's next. It's how we build relationships that last.
