How Simple Inspection powers AI-driven inspections with PropertyLens

Simple Inspection is a Colorado proptech reinventing property inspections with AI tools and expert review. Where a traditional inspection can mean weeks of scheduling, high fees, and results that don’t always match what a carrier needs, the team set out to deliver a faster, more affordable, and more reliable alternative for insurers, real estate professionals, and property owners alike.

But a faster process is only as good as the data underneath it. To pre-fill reports, guide reviewers, and hand carriers something they trust, Simple Inspection needed a verified property baseline for any address in the country, available instantly. That is where PropertyLens comes in.

Data at the core of every report

PropertyLens is the data layer beneath Simple Inspection’s products. The moment a request comes in for a virtual inspection or a Property Snapshot, PropertyLens returns a structured picture of the property so the report starts from fact instead of a blank form. Simple Inspection’s AI and expert reviewers then confirm and enrich the details rather than gather them from scratch. Every report draws on:

• Roof condition and age: scores, material, measured area, and replacement cost ranges that seed every Property Snapshot before a single photo is reviewed.
• Permit history: deduplicated records that surface prior roof, electrical, and structural work, giving reviewers the full renovation story up front.
• Property characteristics: building details, year built, and system ages that establish a verified baseline so reviewers focus on what actually needs a look.
• Risk and hazard grades: flood, wildfire, wind, and neighborhood scores aligned to the exposures carriers price on.

The results

With PropertyLens carrying the data, Simple Inspection turns reports around up to 70% faster than traditional inspections, maintains a 99.5% accuracy rate on its AI-enhanced reporting, and gives homeowners and carriers 24/7 digital access to results. Property Snapshots that once required a scheduled visit now deliver roof condition, permit history, and risk signals in minutes.
