Flexible Payment

Buy Now, Pay Later

BNPL gives you breathing room when paying for inspection services. If the price feels tough to bear while keeping cash on hand for closing, this is a great option — in many cases your first recurring payment lands about a month after purchase.

Now you can book every service that fits your situation, knowing the cost can be spread out over time — without compromising on the quality and coverage that matter most before the largest purchase you'll likely ever make.

Pay Your Way
Two simple options
  • Buy Now, Pay Later — spread payments over time
  • Pay at Close — settle the balance at closing
  • Bundle services and finance the full package
  • First recurring payment typically ~1 month out
