About The Position
Focused Property Inspections is seeking a home inspector in the Fayetteville and Fort Bragg, North Carolina area. This fast-track opportunity is for candidates who may qualify to bypass the state’s 200-hour home inspector course based on prior building, construction, inspection, engineering, architecture, code enforcement, or military construction experience.

The company provides the inspector’s uniform, software, reporting tools, and license, errors and omissions, and liability insurance. Compensation is commission for each inspection, with mileage paid for agent visits and opportunities to increase commission by adding licenses and certifications.
