Draw Inspections in 5 Unique Places, September 2026

The market

Kingman has been the Mohave County seat since 1887. It sits more than 3,300 feet up in the Hualapai Valley, between the Cerbat and Hualapai Mountains, where Interstate 40 meets U.S. 93 and historic Route 66 runs through downtown. The nearest big cities are a long drive away: Las Vegas is about 100 miles northwest, and Flagstaff about 150 miles east.

How RAZE ran it

In country this open, the drive is part of the inspection, and a parcel out in the valley can sit a long way from town. Where a site sits beyond the signal, the RAZE Mobile App keeps capturing offline, shows which sets of data still need to sync, and syncs everything in full once the phone reconnects, so the lender gets the same record it would get from a lot in town.

The market

Graham is the seat and largest city of Young County, in the western Cross Timbers of North Texas, more than 80 miles west of Fort Worth. Brothers Edwin and Gustavus Graham founded it in 1872 beside their saltworks on Salt Creek. Possum Kingdom Lake, a Brazos River reservoir that reaches into Young County, is a short drive south.

How RAZE ran it

A lender that books most of its draws around Dallas-Fort Worth may have inspectors across the metro and none this far west. It doesn't need one: the Marketplace sends a background-checked inspector from the RAZE Inspection Network, and the photos, time stamps and report come back through the same workflow as a draw in the city. A lender with its own inspector nearby can route the order by Direct Request instead.

The market

Zion Crossroads isn't a town. It is an unincorporated community split between Louisa and Fluvanna Counties, where U.S. 15 meets U.S. 250 half a mile from Interstate 64, about 15 miles east of Charlottesville. It was a quiet intersection until I-64 opened in the early 1970s, and Louisa County now plans it as a growth area, with public water and sewer and denser development than the rest of the county.

How RAZE ran it

Orders here often arrive as a lot number, before the street has an address a map can find. RAZE doesn't need one to prove the visit: each photo the inspector captures in the RAZE Mobile App is linked to its draw sheet line item and carries GPS coordinates with date and time stamps, so the record ties the work to the lot itself and shows which work the draw is paying for.

The market

Laurinburg is the Scotland County seat, in a Sandhills county that borders South Carolina. The town was incorporated in 1877 and named for the McLaurin family, among the Scottish settlers the county is named for. The Sandhills themselves are rolling hills of coarse sandy soil between the Cape Fear and Pee Dee Rivers, and outside town the roads run past farm fields and pine woods.

How RAZE ran it

On a rural road, the address on a loan and the pin on a map can land in different places. Every photo in the RAZE Mobile App carries GPS latitude and longitude with date and time stamps, linked to its draw sheet line item, so a reviewer can see exactly where the work was captured, whatever the map says.

The market

Sanibel is a barrier island city in Lee County, with more than half of its land protected, much of it in the J.N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge. The only road on or off is the three-mile Sanibel Causeway. Hurricane Ian came ashore nearby as a Category 4 storm on September 28, 2022, and washed out sections of the causeway, which reopened with temporary repairs about three weeks later.

How RAZE ran it

Rebuilding on the island runs under the 50 percent rule: when repairs reach half of a building's market value, it has to meet current flood elevation, which often means raising or replacing it. That puts weight on the photo record. Every photo is geo-stamped and time-stamped against the draw sheet, so the lender sees which stage of the raising or rebuild each draw is paying for.
