Reasons to stay with Home Inspector Pro.
Not every inspector should switch. These are the things Home Inspector Pro does well.
- A long-established report writer that inspectors have run their businesses on for many years.
- Text and email automation focused on report delivery is a well-worn part of the workflow.
- Existing users often have deep customizations and third-party integrations they have built up over time.
Why inspectors switch.
Common reasons inspectors give for switching platforms.
- Total software bill goes to $0. Core software, mobile app, and website are included. That's $1,068 back per year at the monthly rate, plus about $300 per year if you'd been paying $24.99 a month for a Home Inspector Pro website.
- Your templates come with you. Home Inspector Pro templates and narratives import self-serve in about 15 minutes. Pick a go-live date, and a team member is on standby that day for your first live job.
- Client and agent portals included. Clients get a portal with payment-gated report delivery, and agents get a portal with a repair-request builder.
- Website is included, not a separate add-on. The custom website builder comes with online booking and updates as you edit services and pricing. It has a free address at yourname.inspector.homeinspector.com, and connecting your own domain is coming soon.
- No contract, no lock-in. There is no term commitment. Request an export of your data anytime, and every report can be downloaded as a PDF.

Why HomeInspector.com is free.
HomeInspector.com is built and backed by Reggora, the appraisal technology company that powers about one in four U.S. home appraisals. That business funds the inspector platform. By offering complete software at no cost, Reggora connects with inspectors who may also want optional paid work: in select pilot markets, collect a floor plan and additional property data while you are already on-site ($25 per eligible scan). Inspectors can use HomeInspector.com without taking that work, and your inspection report is not shared with lenders.
