You decide if you want to market the RER to your agent or your client. We recommend marketing to agents, because the RER can help them better utilize your inspection report to negotiate more efficiently! 

Early adopters of the Repair Estimate Report have seen great success bundling the RER with their inspection report, and offering the two together as a premium inspection package!

The value of the Repair Estimate Report for agents is the power and efficiency it gives them during the post-inspection negotiation process. After every inspection you do, the agent has to spend hours getting prices for the repairs highlighted in your report. With the Repair Estimate Report, you can help agents save time and energy during that process. 

What is the RER?  

“The Repair Estimate Report uses the details from your client’s inspection report summary to create cost estimates you can use to negotiate and close. The RER could be saving you hours of work on every transaction.”

Here’s how it works: 

How to get the Repair Estimate Report:

“Tell your client about the Repair Estimate Report. If they’re interested, let me know and I will add the RER to their inspection order. The report is $80 for your client.”

To help make things simple for you, we created an email template you can send your agents to let them know you're offering the Repair Estimate Report.

You'll have a template available to you in your ISN named:

You can find these in your ISN under Email -- My Email Templates.
If you don't have those email templates in your ISN, you can quickly add them to your system under Email -- Get Templates and Containers. For more information on how to copy email templates to your ISN, click here.
