How do I accept or decline optional offers?

This article will walk you through the experience of our Offers pop-up window.

What is the Offers pop-up window?

At HomeGauge, we know that buying a home is stressful. Our mission is to make the home buying process as enjoyable as possible. We've teamed up with vetted partners to help you address some of the most stressful aspects of closing on your home:

• Protecting your investment with home insurance

• Protecting your family & your property with home security systems

• Help get you settled into your new home with moving & packing needs

These offers are entirely optional, and you do not need to participate in using HomeGauge's products, such as paying invoices, signing agreements, or viewing your inspection report.

Where can I access these homebuyer services offers?

As part of your initial welcome experience, you will be presented with offers available to your HomeGauge account.

Check any of the boxes if you are interested in connecting with our vetted partners.

After accepting an offer, we will match you to one of our vetted partners, and they are generally in contact with you 24-72 hrs later.

Why am I seeing this?

HomeGauge believes that the home inspection is the first step of your homeownership maintenance playbook. A successful playbook should identify risk, create a plan to resolve it, and add protections to mitigate future risks during the homeownership journey.

A proper home inspection helps identify risks and create a plan to resolve these issues correctly. HomeGauge wants to continue to help with that playbook by offering services that help mitigate future risks and alleviate other common frustrations.

You're seeing this because HomeGauge believes we can help knock a few things off your to-do list. We provide these offers to our homebuyers as part of our inspection software solution.

Again, these offers are entirely optional, and you do not need to participate in using HomeGauge's products, such as paying invoices, signing agreements, or viewing your inspection report.

Why Home Insurance?

Home Insurance is an essential and often required step in the home buying process. The majority of banks and lenders will need home insurance on the property, and it's just a good thing to have for what is often the most significant financial investment of our lives.

• Protects your investments

• Most likely required by your lender

• Eases the financial burdens of unexpected disasters

Why Home Security?

Home Security is not for everyone. However, a Home Security system has numerous benefits to homeowners, including saving you money on your home insurance premium. It helps mitigate future risks of theft or damage by having round-the-clock monitoring, alerts, and surveillance.

• Reduces your home insurance premium (typically up to 20%)

• 24/7 monitoring of your home by professionals

• Know what's happening inside and out with surveillance cameras and doorbell cameras

• Disaster protection – many partners offer water sensors to more quickly identify leaks

• Mobile alerts keep you in the loop on everything happening in your home

• Increased convenience through integrations with Smart Home systems

Why help with Packing & Moving?

HomeGauge asked homebuyers who had recently gotten an inspection, "what things are stressing you out about your upcoming home purchase?" Based on survey results, the number one task is packing and moving. HomeGauge has identified partners who can help homebuyers with this in various ways.

• Packing supplies can be expensive - save 5% off with our trusted partner

• The average cost of professional movers in the US is $1,500 - save 5% off with our trusted partner (~$75 in savings)

• The logistics of moving are often the most stressful. For those that need it, browse and compare pricing on Storage unit rentals

• Cross one more thing off your moving list by discovering your new home's TV & Internet packages
