BuilderBuddy’s standard policy is payment before inspection reports are released.
In certain situations, we may approve deferred payment, including payment at closing, to provide additional flexibility during a real estate transaction.
Deferred payment is available by approval only and is subject to a $125 minimum administrative fee. To help manage cash flow and administrative costs, deferred payments must be received within 45 days of the inspection date.
Please note that third-party services, including sewer scope, septic, chimney, water, and similar specialty inspections, are not eligible for deferred payment and must be paid before reports are released.
If you’d like to request deferred payment, just let us know before your inspection. We’ll review the request and let you know if it’s a good fit for your transaction.
