Eleventh-month inspections offered to new-build owners
Buyers of new homes have one year to get their deficiency list to the builder, and most forget until it's too late. The agent calls them in month ten and books the inspection that fills their list.
A past client's new-build closing date approaching its first anniversary.
Calls with the date their warranty year ends, explains the inspection, books it in time.
Repeat jobs from past clients, booked in your quieter months.
How it works
- Finds the owners
Past clients who bought new, from the closing dates in your bookings, plus new-build buyers realtors refer.
- Calls at month ten
So the inspection and report land before the year-end form is due.
- Explains the inspection
A full look at the house after its first year of settling: drywall cracks, grading, attic insulation, caulking, doors and windows.
- Quotes your fee
From your price list for an eleventh-month inspection, with any past-client price you offer.
- Books it in time
A slot that gets the report to them before the date their list is due to the builder.
- Asks for a referral
Gently, only if the call went well: neighbours on the same street often closed the same month.
Example call
- AI agentHi Mr. Okafor, it's Emma from Keystone Inspections. We inspected your new house in Milton before closing last March. Is now an okay time?
- CustomerSure, what's up?
- AI agentYour first warranty year ends in March. Many owners book an inspection now, so anything that's shown up since gets on the year-end list in time.
- CustomerWe have a few cracks over the doorways. Is that the kind of thing?
- AI agentThat's exactly the kind of thing Ahmed would note. The eleventh-month inspection is 395 for past clients. I have January 18 or January 25.
- CustomerJanuary 18.
- AI agentBooked for January 18 at 10. You'll have the report within a day, well before your list is due.
After the call: Ahmed has January 18 at 10 at the Milton house, with "cracks above doorways" and the March warranty date in the notes, and the client has the confirmation and agreement by text.

Questions
Does it tell owners what the builder will fix?
No. It explains the inspection and gets the report to them in time. What the builder covers is between the owner and the builder.
Who does it call?
Past clients whose new home closed about ten months ago, and any new-build owners you add.
Is this a sales call?
It's a reminder of a real date on their own house. If they're not interested, it thanks them and doesn't call again.
