One reason why Real Estate Agents love HomeGauge Services (true story)
From time to time we get a call from an agent with a problem. In this case, the buyer's agent called in and said that based upon the home inspection they are withdrawing from the contract. They had a deadline to submit the inspection to the listing agent, which was the night before. The buyer's agent had signed in and forwarded the report to the listing agent on time. Well, as it turns out, the listing agent claimed she did not get the email. The seller, who was soured over the buyer backing out, was keeping the earnest money deposit because he claimed the buyer's agent had failed to send in the inspection report by the deadline (which was not true). The buyer's agent was anxious and nervous and asked me if we had some documentation that showed he did in fact comply. This was a slam dunk because of the feature called "See All Events" at the inspector's uploaded report. The "See All Events" page documents everything that happens to the report. It clearly showed the date and time that the buyer's agent forwarded the report to the listing agent with her email address. The buyer's agent was thrilled and said he loved our upload service and he will make it a point to tell everyone in his office how this helped him and his buyer! HomeGauge Services is a marketing tool that not only verifies report delivery, but also helps agents by storing their reports through you!
New Feature just added: Now your buyer or agent can view the uploaded report in html, but save it as a PDF! The best of both worlds!
