Frequently Asked Questions
What is InspectionPort?
InspectionPort is a secure, Web-based work site from which users can receive orders, send completed reports, and communicate with their clients. It is an integrated component of FNC's Collateral Management System®, used by many lenders.
Is InspectionPort a vendor management company?
No, InspectionPort is owned by FNC, Inc., a technology company. InspectionPort does not arrange or engage vendors on behalf of others.
What is the difference between using InspectionPort and email?
Security and integration. Transferring reports by e-mail sends files across an unsecured platform to the recipient's inbox—a major security hazard. Since InspectionPort is a component of an integrated collateral management system, your sent report travels directly from your computer to your client for processing. Your report and any communication passed between you and your client via InspectionPort are sent on a secure https platform and can only be accessed by users within the client's management system who have permission to view the information.
Does InspectionPort require any special settings on my computer?
A minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768 is recommended for optimum user experience.

Why does InspectionPort charge a fee? What's it for?
The fee you are charged when your completed report has been accepted by your client covers receiving the order, accepting the order online, sending the report (no matter how many times you may need to send it), messaging, and technical support. If you do not receive orders on InspectionPort, there is no InspectionPort charge. State and local sales tax will be charged where applicable.
Am I charged a fee for cancelled orders, orders I reject, or orders that the client sends back to me for adjustments?
You are not charged a transaction fee for cancelled orders in which you do not receive full or partial payment, orders that you reject, or even orders that are sent back to you by your client for adjustments. You are only charged a fee after a report has been accepted by your client as completed, or for orders in which you receive a full or partial payment.
What is a completed transaction?
A completed transaction, as it relates to InspectionPort, is an order for inspection or valuation services that you receive that is completed as an inspection or valuation service report and submitted via InspectionPort (or other means) back to the client, which in turn accepts it as completed. Even if the report is delivered by other means (i.e. fax, email, etc.), the InspectionPort fee is due once the client institution accepts the report as complete.
Typically, when you send the report back to your client and the client logs out the order with its collateral management system, you are then charged a fee.

InspectionPort has no registration, membership, or annual fees. Any real estate broker or property inspector may register with no obligation whatsoever.
