Draw Inspections in 5 Unique Places, September 2025

The market

Greenville is the seat of Greenville County, the most populous county in South Carolina, and the county expects about 220,000 more residents by 2040. Downtown turned toward the Reedy River after the city removed the Camperdown Bridge, which had hidden the river's falls, in 2002; Falls Park and the Liberty Bridge opened two years later and drew new development along the river into the West End.

Orders here have come in as lot numbers, before a street address existed. A lender with a book of loans across the county needs every draw tied to the right lot, and the photos do that: each one taken in the RAZE Mobile App carries GPS latitude and longitude with date and time stamps, linked to its draw sheet line item, whatever the order says.

The market

Crozet grew up around a C&O railroad depot that opened in 1876, about 12 miles west of Charlottesville, and shipped the apples and peaches of western Albemarle's orchards. It takes its name from Claudius Crozet, whose Blue Ridge Tunnel under Rockfish Gap was the longest in North America when it opened in 1858. Albemarle County adopted the first Crozet Master Plan in 2004 and made the village a growth area.

Orders here have come in as lot numbers, before a street address existed, in a village Albemarle County has planned for growth since 2004. Every photo taken in the RAZE Mobile App is linked to its draw sheet line item, with GPS coordinates and date and time stamps, so the record shows which lot at the foot of the Blue Ridge and which work a draw is paying for, whatever the order called the address.

The market

Dahlonega is the Lumpkin County seat, about 70 miles north of Atlanta and home to the main campus of the University of North Georgia. The Georgia Gold Rush began here in 1829, a U.S. branch mint coined gold in town from 1838 to 1861, and Lumpkin County gold carried to Atlanta by wagon train in 1958 went onto the State Capitol dome. In 2018 the hills around town became the Dahlonega Plateau wine appellation.

How RAZE ran it

Sites outside town sit along winding foothill roads, and orders here have come in as lot numbers, before a street address existed. Every photo taken in the RAZE Mobile App is geo-stamped and time-stamped and linked to its draw sheet line item, so the lender's file shows which foothill lot the work is on and the day it was captured, whatever the order called the address.

The market

Brevard is the Transylvania County seat, in a county that calls itself the Land of Waterfalls for the roughly 250 falls inside its borders. More than half of the county is public land, including part of Pisgah National Forest, DuPont State Recreational Forest and Gorges State Park. The town itself is known for the Brevard Music Center and its white squirrels.

Orders here have come in as lot numbers, before a street address existed, and a cove lot with national forest on the ridge above it can be a long way from a signal. The RAZE Mobile App keeps capturing offline: the app flags which sets of data were captured offline and still need to sync, and everything syncs in full once the phone reconnects on the way back to town.

The market

Naples was founded in 1886 as a winter retreat on the Gulf of Mexico, and Collier County's population still climbs each winter when seasonal residents arrive. On September 28, 2022, Hurricane Ian's storm surge set a record at the city's NOAA tide station and tore away much of the Naples Pier.

How RAZE ran it

A Naples home can belong to someone who spends most of the year up north, financed by a lender with no inspector in Southwest Florida. That lender doesn't need one: the Marketplace sends a background-checked inspector from the RAZE Inspection Network, and the geo-stamped, time-stamped report comes back through the same workflow as a draw near the lender's own office. A lender with its own inspector on the Gulf Coast can use Direct Request instead.
