The refinance Drone Roof Inspection brief

We photograph refinance valuation briefs for roof inspection across the same real service area every week; the process is now well-drilled. Owners and mortgage brokers preparing a refinance want imagery that supports a defensible valuation — the shoot is scoped for the surveyor and the desktop underwriter.
