A new way to grow your business
We believe in using our resources to help our Inspectors grow and profit. We’ve created this program because we saw an opportunity to share our profits with eligible Inspectors to help generate additional business revenue and provide legitimate added value for Home Buyers.
Here’s how it works
If you are eligible to become a Trusted Inspector, your Home Buyers will be given the opportunity to opt-in to receive home-related deals, including a smart home security system. In return, you will get paid for your Buyers who find interest and purchase those deals. Everybody wins!
For now, we’re offering the giveback on home security only, but look out for new giveback offers coming soon for other things your new Home Buyers need, like homeowners insurance!
It’s simple to get started:
Step 1: If you’re eligible, become a Trusted Inspector. Here’s how.
Step 2: A popup will be enabled in the Buyer dashboard with the offer(s) for each of your Buyers.
Step 3: Your Buyers can accept or decline to be contacted about the offer(s) provided to them. See the Buyer opt-in experience.
Step 4: For every security offer that results in a purchase, you’ll get $250 after installation. Learn how you get paid.
The perks of being a Trusted Inspector
- Make your car payment (and more) with your earnings:
- With an unlimited cap, you could earn $250 for each home security system installed, just for offering deals to Home Buyers who purchase them. We’ll announce other giveback opportunities as the program grows.
- Stand out from local competition:
- Many inspection businesses are not adding value for their Home Buyers outside of the inspection. Your value increases by offering these deals at the right time for Buyers.
- Control what the program does for you:
- As the program grows, we’ll provide advanced features so you can control what is shown to your Home Buyers and see how many are interested in our offers.
- Get more referrals:
- Your happy Buyers’ purchase will not only get you paid but will also get you referrals! Providing them the right value at the right time will give them every reason to remember and recommend you to their friends.
The perks for Buyers who use Trusted Inspectors
The perks of being a Trusted Inspector for your Buyers expand past the products themselves. You’re saving them time, confusion, and stress.
Here are some examples of how you could provide benefits to Buyers as the program grows:
- With a home security offer, you could connect them with a home security expert who can walk them through the benefits of a new home security system for their new home.
- With a homeowners insurance offer, you could help them avoid the excruciating and time-consuming search for home insurance quotes.
- Sometimes, an offer might save the Home Buyer up to 20% on their annual home insurance premium if they purchase a homeowners insurance + security bundle!
