What homebuyer solutions does HomeGauge offer?

At this time, HomeGauge has created vetted partnerships to provide homebuyers the choice on Home Insurance quotes, Home Security consultations and Moving services.

What does it mean to enable one or more homebuyer services?

Please note that enabling these homebuyer services does not mean your customers will be called. Your customers MUST OPT-IN to be contacted by any of our vetted partners. Enabling these homebuyer services lets your customers review the offers from vetted partners that you have enabled and decide whether or not it is right for them.

What are the benefits of enabling each of these homebuyer services?

HomeGauge believes that the home inspection is the first step of the homeownership maintenance playbook. A 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 so that the homeowner can create a plan to resolve these issues correctly. HomeGauge wants to continue to help with that playbook by offering homebuyer services that help mitigate future risks and alleviate other common frustrations.

Why Home Insurance?

Home Insurance is an essential and often required step in the home buying process. The majority of lenders will need home insurance on the property. It helps customers mitigate future risks by providing financial reimbursement for issues to covered items and systems.

• Protects your customer's investment

• Most likely required by your customer's 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 them money on their home insurance premiums. It helps mitigate future risks of theft or damage by having round-the-clock monitoring, alerts, and surveillance.

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

• 24/7 professional monitoring of the home

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

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

• Mobile alerts keep homebuyers in the loop on everything happening in their 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 frustration in various ways.

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