Who’s at the door.

Inside visits start with the homeowner, not the Scout. This is the real page the homeowner opens from their text, shown with the sample visit.

Verify your Scout: VALID FOR THIS VISIT, Dana R., Scout ID SC-4H7QXD, identity verified by REILink; the appointment; At the door: The person matches. Confirm entry, or Deny entry; Not the person in the photo?; the visit code.
The homeowner’s page, at the door.

  • Texted before the visitThe homeowner or contact gets the Scout’s photo, name and Scout ID, and confirms the appointment from the link.
  • Valid for this visit onlyThe page says VALID FOR THIS VISIT only while that Scout is the one assigned. An old or forwarded link shows nothing.
  • Entry is theirs to giveAt the door they confirm entry, or deny it. If the person doesn’t match, one tap alerts our team at once.
  • A badge they can checkThe Scout’s badge carries their Scout ID and a QR code. Scanning it shows who the Scout is, and the code on the homeowner’s page confirms this visit.
  • A lockbox code only at the propertyWhen there is a lockbox, the Scout sees the code only once checked in at the house.
  • Never mistaken for anyone elseScouts are never government officials, inspectors or utility workers, and the page says so.

Every visit checked before you see it.

A report is only worth something if it is real.

  • Checked in at the houseThe Scout confirms the house number and street. Where the phone was at check-in is recorded, and a check-in away from the house is flagged for review.
  • Taken during the visit, at the houseEvery photo carries when and where it was taken, checked against the visit.
  • No photo used twiceThe same photo on this visit or any other is caught.
  • Every item inEach one captured or marked with its reason before the visit can be submitted.
  • A person reviews itQuality review looks at every visit. Anything missing is redone, remotely or with a return visit.
  • Photos stay privateThey live in private storage and open through links that expire.

Your car + your phone + a free afternoon = paid.

Questions.

Do Scouts go inside?

On the Interior Property Walkthrough and the EstiMate Walkthrough, yes. The homeowner or authorized contact is told who is coming, gets the Scout’s photo and ID, and confirms entry at the door. The Exterior Property Check never goes inside.

How does the Scout get in?

You choose when you order: a lockbox, the contact meets them, a representative meets them, or another approved way. A lockbox code is shown to the Scout only once they have checked in at the property.

Do I need an EstiMate subscription?

No. The EstiMate Walkthrough includes the repair estimate. It is built in your own REILink account and you get the link to the report.

What is in the EstiMate report?

The scope room by room with quantities and unit costs, the consumables on each line, the dumpster and permits the job needs, the same scope at three finish levels and a materials list. Download the sample report to see all of it.

What if something can’t be photographed?

The Scout marks it with a reason, such as not visible from an authorized spot or not safe to capture, and you see it in your results. Areas the Scout could not reach are listed, and the estimate says what it doesn’t cover.

Do Scouts diagnose problems?

No. Scouts flag what they see and link it to their photos. The estimate is built with EstiMate from that evidence.

What does it cost, and what do Scouts earn?

You see the price before you pay. Scouts see exactly what they earn before they accept. Prices and pay are announced at launch.
