Mark Garcia yearns to ease the burden of home inspectors. They must take photos, transcribe notes, and fill out the required paperwork as quickly as possible. Last year, he and Aryash Dubey created Binsr Inspect, which offers an AI-powered platform for home inspectors.
The company recently closed a $1.1 million pre-seed round, led by New Stack Ventures and Silence VC, with early support from Phoenix-based Lofty and its Scottsdale-based founder Joe Chen.

Garcia, a former Salesforce executive and three-time startup CRO, previously helped scale commercial real estate software startup Buildout from zero to $30 million in revenue before its acquisition.
Dubey is an ASU senior and a self-taught AI engineer who founded his first software company at age 16, generating over $200,000 in revenue to fund his U.S. education.
Dubey leads the development of Binsr’s AI infrastructure, from AI voice and video-enhanced inspections to AI-powered data and home insight analysis.
Hemant Dua, also an ASU senior, joined as the company’s founding engineer and is focused on optimizing performance and speed for inspectors using the platform.
Binsr brings efficiency and allows AI to do the heavy lifting for home inspectors, Garcia said. He and his team reached out to home inspectors across the nation to further research the trade.
“We wanted to learn about their day, and what they liked and didn’t like,” the Chandler resident said.
“One person said they had one inspection in the afternoon that took two to four hours. Then they had to go home and spend one to three hours per report writing (the results). One guy was telling me that he couldn’t see his kids one night because he had to finish a report by the morning.
“These inspectors pride themselves on getting it done on the same day.”
He said the current tools are not user-friendly, as one inspector could make as many as 8,000 comments on homes throughout their career.
“They have to search this comment database to find everything,” Garcia said. “Sometimes they must look through folders and subfolders for the appropriate wording.
“They then customize it based on the unique home that they’re dealing with, or the slightly different situation for this home,” Garcia said.
“They add photos and videos to it. That’s just one part of it. There are 150 to 300 items in these reports. It’s a grueling process.”
Binsr Inspect formed an inspector advisory board of members who “are really passionate about building AI tools to help them.
“We’re very passionate about AI and where it’s heading,” Garcia said. “We thought we could really help with this and really cut the time down dramatically. That way, they can finish reports right on site.”
Binsr Inspect has a web-based application for the business side of its job, such as setting up pricing. It also has mobile apps on the Apple and Android stores, including administrative and report builder apps.
“The report builder app is designed to be just lightning fast,” he said.
“It moves a lot quicker than traditional apps,” Garcia said. “It’s built on a very modern infrastructure behind the scenes.”
Inspectors can tell the app to flag a problem, say, “This is in the living room,” and put it in the right section.
“Our biggest flagship has a feature that inspectors love, which really saves a lot of time. It’s the AI voice and AI video. We actually call it AI quick add,” Garcia said.
“They can tell it that it’s a maintenance item. So, it’ll flag it as a maintenance item. You can give it as many items as you want.”
Voice note transcribes instantly on the screen after the user presses “process.”
“It cuts down the process dramatically,” he said. “We’re talking a 10-time improvement in speed. That seems like a small amount of seconds’ difference, but when you multiply that by hundreds of comments, it adds up really fast, right?”
Garcia said it could speed up processes in other fields as well, like real estate appraisal services.
Many people are asking Garcia how they could apply the voice and the video to tangential industrials, as it’s “really powerful stuff.”
“The voice is the quickest way to get something besides connecting your brain to a computer, like Elon Musk’s Neuralink. It’s way faster than typing.”
Inspection is a grueling process, he added.
The product starts at $75 per inspector per month.
“We’re trying to run our company in a lean way using AI,” he said. “We want to pass those savings onto the customer. We don’t want to charge them a lot because we have to run a huge team. We are going to grow the team, as we’re going to double over the next year. We need a lot of help. We have a ton of features to build.”
