Free Commercial Property Inspector
Service Agreement
One missed structural crack or a 'forgotten' roof leak can turn a quick paycheck into a million-dollar lawsuit that wipes out your business. Without an ironclad signature, you’re just a guy paying out of pocket to fix someone else's crumbling investment.
Pro Contractor Tip
Insert a 'Limitation of Liability' clause to cap your financial exposure strictly to the total cost of the inspection fee.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Commercial Property Inspector, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when the client expects me to tear out drywall to find a leak?
You're an inspector, not a demolition crew; your contract must define the work as 'visual and non-invasive' so you don't get stuck doing unpaid labor or paying for repairs.
The buyer wants the report today but says the check is 'in the mail'—what do I do?
No money, no report; use a 'Payment as Condition Precedent' clause in your agreement so the client knows they don't get your expertise until you get their cash.
The client added three more units to the walkthrough last minute—how do I charge them?
Don't just nod and do the work; point to your 'Additional Services' hourly rate in the written agreement so they know every extra square foot has a price tag.
