The features that matter — and the honest words for them

One section per headline feature, in selling order. Each gives the plain claim (the sanctioned wording where one exists), why an inspector cares, where it lives, and the one-sentence honest limit. Support and marketing: answer with these words — they are the ones the fences allow. The headline is "The AI home inspection app that helps bring you more inspections." The angle is "We help you get clients." Two out of three inspectors get most of their work from real estate agents, so we make the agent's job easier: a clear report, the Ask List and a repair budget on findings. Then the tools that help clients find you: your website, the blog writer, newsletters, social posts and review requests. The report drafts itself The claim. Walk the house in any order, say what you see, snap photos and video — the AI files every finding on the right line, drafts it in your words, and checks it against your standards checklist. The draft is done before you leave the driveway. Why it matters. The 9 pm typing session is the job's worst part, and it's gone. Where. The capture screen — inspection-capture, the dock, findings. The honest limit. It drafts; you decide. Nothing reaches a client until you confirm it, and low-confidence suggestions are held back for you. Works offline in the crawlspace The claim. Voice notes, photos and video save on your phone and file themselves when the bars come back. If the AI is down, your notes are saved. Why it matters. Basements, crawlspaces, rural jobs — nothing you say ever disappears. Where. Capture, automatically — inspection-capture. The honest limit. What's promised is that the capture is saved and files later — live dictation itself can need signal, and a typed-note fallback stands in when it does. The Ask List The claim. The only tool where the listing agent can respond, and where the agreed list drafts itself. The buyer taps + Ask on the findings that matter; the listing agent answers Agree, Decline or Counter on a phone with no app and no password — they confirm the email it was sent to; one tap copies the agreed items as clean text for whatever form the deal runs on. Why it matters. Agents remember who made the deal easy — and the inspector's brand is on the document both agents work in. Where. The client portal — ask-list; the firm's read-only panel on the inspection page. The honest limit. The sent list carries the buyer's own words and finding numbers, never the inspector's narrative; the responder's name is typed, not verified; it produces the attachment a state form was built to receive, never the form itself. The Budget Genie The claim. A repair BUDGET on findings — a low–average–high range built from free public data (BLS wage tables, a materials index), with the arithmetic shown. There's no per-report fee for budgets. Why it matters. Buyers ask "what will this cost?" on every deal; competitors charge per report for a number we produce from public data. Where. On a finding — inspection-findings; the client sees it under the finding — reading-your-report. The honest limit. It is a planning figure, never pricing and never an offer to do the work — the word is BUDGET, and the report says so wherever it appears. The Report Lock The claim. The report stays locked until it's paid and signed — then it unlocks itself. Enforced by the server, not a setting: an unpaid client is never sent the findings and photos at all, not just kept off the page. Why it matters. No chasing checks after handing over the report. Where. Delivery — inspection-review-deliver; the buyer's side — pay-and-sign. The honest limit. "Paid" includes recorded cash/check/Zelle and $0 deliveries — the gate is about the record, and card payments switch on once the firm activates its Stripe payouts account. HR Verified review receipts The claim. You review and accept every AI-drafted finding one at a time, exactly as your client will see it. Each accept writes a tamper-evident receipt — a fingerprint of exactly what you reviewed, verified by the server before it's recorded — and the full chain locks into the report and can be checked independently of HomeRecon. Why it matters. Years later you can show finding #12, its photos, and the receipt proving you reviewed exactly those words on that date — far harder to argue with than a Word document. Where. Review — inspection-review-deliver; the shield the buyer sees — reading-your-report; the explainer — support. The honest limit. The record is tamper-evident, append-only, server-verified, independently checkable — evidence that tampering shows, not a notary service. The interactive report — and ask-the-report The claim. A modern web report, not a 90-page PDF: severity filters, a contents rail, photos and 360°s, four languages — and the buyer can ask the report questions at 9 pm and get an answer from its own contents, with "Ask your inspector" one tap below. Why it matters. The Genie takes the late calls you don't want and routes the ones that matter to you, on the record. Where. reading-your-report, ask-the-report. The honest limit. Genie answers are written the moment the buyer asks — the inspector has not seen or approved them, the panel says so, and an answer that tries to price a repair or call a rules verdict is replaced whole. The client & agent portal The claim. One HomeRecon login shows a buyer or agent every report from every inspector they work with; a locked report says so instead of vanishing; and you get read receipts — know the moment your buyer opened the report and downloaded the PDF. Why it matters. Agents live in it across many deals — and every tile carries your firm's brand. Where. client-portal, starting at my-reports. The honest limit. Portal accounts are created by delivering a report — there's no self-serve signup for buyers, by design. Your branded website with local SEO The claim. Every firm gets its own public website — brand, services with live prices, online booking, per-city landing pages with real local copy, a blog and verified reviews — included in the plan. Why it matters. A working website plus city pages is a bill most inspectors pay separately today. Where. booking-site; edited from Marketing → My Website. The honest limit. The free yourfirm.homerecon.ai address is live now (the *.homerecon.ai wildcard serves today). Your own custom domain works too. Type it in one box and add the one record we show you at the company that holds your domain. The site goes live with a padlock, usually within the hour. Verified reviews on autopilot The claim. A review invite after every report — tied to a real inspection, collected for you, shown on your website with the reviewer's own words. Why it matters. Reviews with proof behind them are the ones worth reading — and nobody has to remember to ask. Where. reviews (the buyer's page), marketing-reviews (yours). The honest limit. Every review is tied to a completed inspection, so we can prove the job really happened — that's the claim, and nothing stronger. One login runs the business The claim. Schedule, invoices and payouts, agreements and e-sign, CRM, messages, marketing, team and payroll — one subscription, one login. Why it matters. It replaces the stack you'd otherwise assemble from three or four separate subscriptions. Where. The whole inspector-app folder. The honest limit. Client card payments activate once Stripe payout onboarding is finished. The app says so plainly. Client texts are live, and they go only to clients who said yes. Switch in a weekend The claim. Guided import brings your clients, agents, comment library, inspection templates and branding out of the software you're on now — with per-vendor export instructions and a loadable sample, checked as it lands, so your book comes with you. Why it matters. The switching cost is the moat competitors count on. Where. settings-import. The honest limit. Past reports do not import — only the records above; your old reports stay readable in your old tool's exports. One plan, every feature, 5 inspections included The claim. One plan, every feature. $59.99 a month if you start paying by December 31, and you keep it as long as you stay. InterNACHI members pay $49.99 a month if they start paying by January 31. From January 1, new sign-ups pay $99.99. Members who start after January 31 get their first 6 months at $49.99, then $99.99. Every plan includes 5 inspections a month. Each one after that is $7. An extra inspector is $49.99 a month and shares the same 5. A year up front is 20% off: $575.90, $479.90 for members, or $959.90. Your first 3 inspections are free, with no card, plus one free practice inspection on your own home that never counts. Pause any time and pay $0; a pause of up to 3 months keeps your price. 30-day money back on everything you paid in the first 30 days. Why it matters. The report, your website, booking, payments and the marketing tools, all for one low monthly price. Nothing is held back for a higher tier. The owner-approved line is "The best value in home inspection software." Where. pricing, internachi, business-subscription. The honest limit. Your price is set at your first payment, not at signup. An inspection counts the first time its report is signed off or sent, and each one after 5 in a billing month is $7. The Overview shows "N of 5 this billing month". The iPhone and Android apps show no prices; you manage your plan on the web. The HomeRecon Genie (in the dashboard) The claim. Ask your own business anything — "what's unpaid?", "what's on Friday?" — and get an answer from your firm's real data, with the numbers' sources shown. Why it matters. The answer to most office questions is a question, not a report to build. Where. genie. The honest limit. It reads your data and answers questions; it doesn't take actions, and a question it can't ground in your data gets an honest "I don't know" rather than a guess. Three different helpers answer to the name "Genie": this dashboard Genie, the report's ask-the-report panel, and the capture dock's Help me. When someone says "the Genie didn't…", ask which screen they were on.
