During Your Inspection
Enhancements to Make Your Inspection Faster, Easier, and How You Want It!

New Inspection Review

Walk through the concerns you found with the buyer after the inspection using the new Android app Inspection Review feature with pictures. Easily navigate to this view by clicking on the Overflow Menu >>Inspection Review. You can swipe through all the concerns that you found, ordered by system, then by item.

Search for items across rooms. While in a room, just click the Overflow Menu>>Find Item and start typing the name of the item.

Not Inspected is now the default text for an item that has not been inspected/tested (was “Not Tested”), both in the user interface on and the report. You can change the label on the report for this text to anything you want in the settings.

Include hyperlinks on concerns in the new Hyperlink field. Great for pointing to YouTube videos, diagrams, explanations, or other helpful information, (web app now, tablet next release).

Check out all the new data in HomeHubZone, like adding pool systems and items by adding the room “Pool Area.”

After Your Inspection
More Options for Sharing and Maintaining Your Reports

Attach additional PDFs and Word documents to your in progress and posted inspection reports for things like maintenance tips, mold and radon reports, etc. Note that this feature is currently only available in the Web app.

We made it easier for your buyer to access their posted report by eliminating the need for them to confirm their email address and simplifying their password requirements.

Enter buyer and realtor information and post the report from the Android app. Yes, this means you can post onsite, if you have a connection!

Did we mention, you can now optionally send the completed report to the Realtor?

Edit the date on any inspection, not just upcoming inspections.
