Inspector Benefits

INSPECTORS: OREP PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT NETWORK

OREP provides home inspectors more than just insurance. All OREP Members enjoy incredibly valuable benefits designed to help you grow your business, limit your liability, and be a better home inspector.

OREP home inspector insureds receive a free subscription to Working RE Home Inspector Magazine, the largest circulation print magazine for home inspectors in the country. Each issue is packed with industry-specific tips to help you be a better home inspector and successful business person ($60 value). Enjoy cutting-edge technical information as well as how to write reports that earn you referrals, not lawsuits. The subscription also includes over 300 premium content articles unlocked for members. Members receive guaranteed delivery of the magazine.

Having served home inspectors for over 20 years, OREP has deep expertise providing claims defense for home inspectors and has a team of attorneys and claims adjusters with decades of experience stopping claims before they get started and defending YOU and your business. OREP Members enjoy pre-claims support and decisive response letters to shut down frivolous claims with attorney Geoff Binney.

Attorney Prepared Inspection Contracts and Rewards

Your Pre-Inspection Agreement is one of the most important lines of defense against claims. OREP offers its Members FREE, attorney-reviewed Inspection Contract templates. We are now offering a 50% Deductible / Self-Insured Retention Credit for you if you use OREP’s preferred Pre-Inspection Agreement, which we strongly recommend. We ALSO have a Loyalty BONUS. If you are insured with OREP’s primary carrier for 3 years in a row, your Deductible / Self-Insured Retention Credit is also waived 50%—that way you are rewarded for your loyalty to OREP! In addition, OREP members enjoy the following:

• Indemnification Agreement to use with your subcontractors (pest, sewer, or even other home inspectors!)
• Specific service waivers (if you offer mold, and your client declines it, for example)

As always, these agreements are FREE as a benefit of being an OREP Member. Members – Email inspectors@orep.org to get a copy.

Home Inspection Warranties – Increase Business, Reduce Headaches (at no cost)

The 120-Day Home Warranty distinguishes you from your competition when you include it free with your home inspections. Sometimes you only get one conversation with a potential client or one click to your website to close the deal. Here’s how to make you and your business the obvious choice for homebuyers. A warranty also makes nuisance problems go away. The small, warranty-related issues that you are often forced to deal with are taken off your plate and handled by professionals, so you spend your time and energy inspecting, not fixing client problems. You can enjoy more business with fewer headaches and at no cost to you because the OREP member price is low enough ($12.50) to be added to your inspection fee without notice. Plus, as an added bonus, you get the Ready-to-Go Marketing Kit included with the purchase of 10 or more warranties to start. Click here for more information.
