Josh is answering right now
Josh is the AI inspection scheduling specialist, built only for home inspectors. He picks up every call and every website visitor, works out who he’s talking to, prices the job your way, books a real slot and sends the agreement and the payment link — without you being in the room.
Right now he’s answering for Acme Home Inspections, a sample firm we set up in Charlotte so you can push him as hard as you like. Same Josh your callers would get, same brain — not a script written for this page.
He’s already answering. Start whenever you like — speak to him or type, English or Spanish, exactly the way one of your callers would. Nothing you book here is a real appointment and nobody gets charged.
On every single call
The whole job, in one conversation. Not a message for you to deal with later — the price, the slot, the agreement and the payment, before she hangs up.
01
Day, night, weekends, holidays. Callers don’t leave voicemail any more — they call the next company on the list.
02
A buyer, a referring agent, a seller or a vendor each get a different opening and a different set of questions.
03
He asks whatever you’d ask to price a job properly — square footage, age, foundation, whatever your rules actually turn on. And he won’t guess at a number he hasn’t been given.
04
Checks your live calendar, offers what’s actually open, and never double-books you no matter how many calls land at once.
05
Digital signature and a secure link, texted while she’s still thinking about it. He never takes a card number by voice. Ever.
06
Names, addresses and numbers repeated and confirmed, then confirmations go to the buyer and to her agent. No booking errors to unpick.
Everything you own starts working when the phone rings. Josh is what happens between hello and confirmed.
Before you try him
Everything Acme sells, at Acme’s prices — the exact list he quotes from. On your own account it would be your services at your prices, taken straight off your onboarding form.
Acme prices by square footage. Yours might price by age, by bedrooms, by type or a flat fee — Josh works from whatever you gave us.
About three to three and a half hours for a typical home. Payment by secure link, texted once the job is on the schedule and due on the day.
The full home inspection, termite and WDO, radon test and sewer scope, together.
Ask for any of these on the call and he adds them to the total.
Commercial buildings, mobile and manufactured homes, apartment complexes. Ask and he says no rather than quoting for something Acme doesn’t do.
Hours: weekdays only — nine, twelve and three, Charlotte time. Ask for a Saturday and he offers the nearest weekday instead of inventing one.
Property types: single family, townhome, condo, duplex, new construction. Foundations: crawlspace, slab, basement.
Service area: Charlotte and the towns around it — Matthews, Mint Hill, Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, Concord, Harrisburg, Pineville, Waxhaw, Indian Trail, Monroe, Gastonia, Belmont, Mooresville, and Fort Mill and Rock Hill over in South Carolina.
Inspectors: Bob White, who owns Acme, and Nadia Brooks. Both InterNACHI certified.
Disclosure
No. Two things every caller is told, and neither one is left to chance.
He answers straight, in his own words, and carries on booking the job:
“I’m the AI assistant for [your company]. But I can get your inspection booked right now so you don’t have to call back.”
He never claims to be human and he doesn’t apologize for what he is. He also never calls himself a receptionist — that word makes a caller picture the person he replaced. A growing number of states now require an AI to identify itself when a caller asks, Texas among them, and he’s built to do exactly that.
Before anything else, every caller hears:
“Just so you know, this call is recorded for quality and training.”
It isn’t an instruction he might forget on a busy call — the system speaks it the moment the call connects, every time. The recording and the full transcript then file themselves onto the job alongside the work order. If a client ever disputes what was agreed on the phone, you have the call.
Booked Solid Inspector isn’t a law firm and this isn’t legal advice. Disclosure and recording rules vary by state, and how you run your business stays your call — Josh’s default behavior is built to the strictest reading we’ve found.
Your turn
You’re an inspector. You were going to try anyway. We’d rather you did it here, on a sample firm, than wonder about it later on a real client.
Book one, start to finish
The whole job in one conversation — the thing a voicemail never does.
“I need an inspection on a 2,300 square foot house in Charlotte. What would that run me?”
Push back on the price
He doesn’t discount and he doesn’t argue. Watch how he handles it.
“That’s more than the last guy quoted me.”
Start in Spanish
He follows you either way, mid-conversation, without a transfer or an apology.
“Hola, necesito una inspección para una casa que estoy comprando.”
Call as an agent
Different questions, different flow — the agent is a referral partner, not the buyer.
“I’m a realtor booking for my client.”
Try to catch him out
He’ll tell you the truth. Better you find that out here than a caller finds it out later.
“Am I talking to a real person?”
Ask for something he can’t do
This is the one that breaks most systems. He says no and offers you the nearest thing he can do.
“Can you look at a double-wide on Saturday morning?”
And afterwards
If you finished a booking, the confirmation lands in your inbox in a minute or two — the same one your client would get. Open it. That’s the last part of the test.
After that, nothing at all. Nobody calls you back, there’s no drip sequence waiting for you, and there’s no email at seven the next morning asking whether you had a chance to think it over. We’re not going to chase you. You already get enough of that from everybody else.
