Insurers have generally used home inspections to help determine home value. But since the pandemic hit, travel restrictions prevented on-site home visits.<span id=\"more-4974\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Instead, insurers turned to virtual inspections \u2013 a convenient alternative to provide you with peace of mind that your home is properly insured.<\/p>\n<p>Virtual inspections have changed the way a home inspection is completed. Rather than coordinating an on-site home visit with an inspector, you simply upload your home photos to an app on your smartphone that walks you through the process. The inspector reviews the photos provided, conducts supplemental research and completes an interview \u2013 if needed \u2013 to finalize the inspection report.<\/p>\n<p>Virtual inspections offer the advantages of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Safety<\/li>\n<li>Ease of coordination<\/li>\n<li>Security<\/li>\n<li>Fast turn-around time<\/li>\n<li>Attention from a high value home specialist, if needed<\/li>\n<li>Expertise from loss prevention and replacement cost specialists<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And because no travel is involved, the virtual inspection is more eco-friendly. Despite the challenges the pandemic presented, it also created new service opportunities, including virtual home inspections: a new way for companies to do business.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h5>MORE INFORMATION<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cinfin.com\/2020\/09\/29\/personal-insurance-questions-home-replacement-cost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Questions to help set home replacement cost<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cinfin.com\/2020\/06\/02\/market-value-replacement-cost\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">What would it cost to repair or rebuild your home?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cinfin.com\/2022\/03\/08\/pandemic-renovations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Insurance can protect your pandemic renovations<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Coverages described here are in the most general terms and are subject to actual policy conditions and exclusions.
