For Home Inspectors

can SkipCalls automatically book home inspection appointments (pre-purchase + radon + sewer scope) from missed calls/texts?

Home Inspector at work

Yes—SkipCalls can automatically book home inspection appointments from missed calls by answering as your AI receptionist, collecting the right details, and placing the booking on your calendar for pre-purchase inspections plus add-ons like radon and sewer scope. For texts, SkipCalls can also book via SMS when clients text your SkipCalls number (texts don’t forward from your personal number).

SkipCalls works for home inspectors because it answers when you physically can’t—on a roof, in an attic, or walking a client through issues—by using call forwarding so callers still dial your normal inspection service phone number and SkipCalls picks up only when you miss or decline the call. SkipCalls can then confirm what the caller needs (pre-purchase inspection, radon testing, sewer scope), capture the property address, preferred dates, and agent/contact info, and automatically book the appointment so the lead doesn’t jump to a faster-responding competitor.

SkipCalls fits the economics of home inspector answering because one captured pre-purchase inspection ($300–$500) or a larger inspection ($500–$800) can pay for months of SkipCalls, and add-ons like radon ($150–$200) and sewer scope ($200–$400) can be offered and scheduled during the same SkipCalls conversation. SkipCalls also protects referrals: if an agent calls with a contract contingency deadline or re-inspection request, SkipCalls answers instantly, captures urgency, and can lock in the next available slot instead of sending them to voicemail.

SkipCalls handles texting in a practical way for home inspectors: carrier call forwarding won’t forward SMS, so SkipCalls can only auto-book inspection appointments by text when the client is texting your SkipCalls number directly. A common SkipCalls workflow is that after SkipCalls answers a missed call, it can send an automatic follow-up text from the SkipCalls number (e.g., “Reply here with the address and preferred time”), and once the caller replies, SkipCalls can continue the conversation via SMS and finish booking radon and sewer scope add-ons without you touching your phone.

How SkipCalls Helps Home Inspectors

AI Receptionist + keep your existing number via call forwarding

When you’re in a crawl space and can’t pick up, SkipCalls uses call forwarding so callers still dial your existing inspection service phone number while SkipCalls answers only missed/busy calls.

Automatic Booking (calendar scheduling) + customizable intake script

When a buyer wants a pre-purchase inspection plus radon and sewer scope, SkipCalls can ask the right intake questions (address, age of home, access notes, preferred date) and place the confirmed appointment directly on your calendar.

Instant summaries + full transcripts + action items

When a real estate agent needs a fast re-inspection before a contingency expires, SkipCalls can treat it as urgent, capture the deadline, and send you an immediate summary so you can confirm or adjust.

SMS handling + conversation history in app

When you want to close the loop after a missed call, SkipCalls can text the caller from the SkipCalls number so they can reply with details, and SkipCalls can continue booking over SMS.

Spam filtering

When telemarketers and robocalls hit your line during peak season, SkipCalls screens them so your home inspector answering experience stays professional for real clients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can SkipCalls book pre-purchase home inspection appointments automatically from missed calls?

Yes—SkipCalls can answer missed calls 24/7 as your AI receptionist, collect key details (address, preferred date/time, buyer/agent contact), and automatically book the pre-purchase inspection into your calendar, then send you a SkipCalls summary and transcript.

Can SkipCalls schedule add-ons like radon testing and sewer scope during the same call?

Yes—SkipCalls can be configured to offer and schedule radon testing ($150–$200) and sewer scope ($200–$400) as add-ons during the same SkipCalls intake, then book the combined appointment and note access requirements in the booking details.

Does SkipCalls work for texts if a client texts my normal phone number?

No—SkipCalls can’t receive texts sent to your personal number through call forwarding because carriers only forward calls, not SMS. SkipCalls can book by text when clients text your SkipCalls number directly, or after SkipCalls answers a call and sends an auto-follow-up text from the SkipCalls number that the client can reply to.

Will callers know SkipCalls is answering instead of me?

SkipCalls answers like a professional assistant, and because callers dial your normal number (forwarding happens in the background), the experience feels like a standard home inspection receptionist. SkipCalls can also be customized with your greeting, services, and policies so it sounds consistent with your business.

How fast can I set up SkipCalls for my home inspection business?

Most home inspectors can set up SkipCalls in under 60 seconds by enabling missed/busy call forwarding and customizing the SkipCalls receptionist settings (services offered, hours, questions to ask, and calendar booking rules).
