Verified Score & HouseFax ID

After a licensed inspection, your home earns a verified score and a permanent HouseFax ID. The badge and score are only issued when the full package — including all four trade assessments — has been completed.

The record that follows the home.

Licensed Trade Assessments

A standard home inspection through inspector partners, plus assessments from four licensed trades: a plumber, an electrician, a roofer, and an HVAC technician. A licensed plumber inspected your plumbing. A licensed electrician inspected your electrical. That is verification.

Depth and credibility behind every system that matters to the sale.

Transfer at Sale, Warranty Alerts & Compare

The verified record transfers at sale, warranty alerts keep you notified, and compare tools let you track your home against its own history.

A record that stays with the home — and keeps working for you.

• Verified by licensed tradespeopleHouseFax states that verification means the data in the report was gathered by licensed tradespeople who physically inspected the home's systems. A licensed plumber inspected the plumbing, a licensed electrician inspected the electrical, a licensed roofer inspected the roof, and a licensed HVAC technician inspected the HVAC. The HouseFax Verified badge and score are only issued when the full package, including all four trade assessments, has been completed.
• Goes beyond a standard home inspectionThe HouseFax Verified Report includes a standard home inspection through inspector partners, plus assessments from four licensed trades: a plumber, an electrician, a roofer, and an HVAC technician. HouseFax describes this as adding specialists who work on these systems every day, which it says is what makes it verified.
• Designed for pre-listing preparationHouseFax positions the report for sellers before they list, typically on the recommendation of their listing agent. The stated goal is to find problems before buyers do so sellers can repair, price, or disclose on their terms, with complete documentation intended to mean fewer concessions at the table.
• Centralized, AI-assisted recordsHouseFax says AI identifies and tags every document automatically, including receipts, invoices, warranties, and permits. It also says AI makes it possible to aggregate scattered public records at near-zero cost, pulling together permits, prior inspections, and property data automatically.

• Timeline is approximateHouseFax states the process takes approximately 3 to 5 business days from the time you order, and that HouseFax coordinates scheduling of the home inspection and all four trade assessments. The completed report is delivered digitally once all assessments are finalized.
• Does not replace the buyer's inspectionHouseFax explicitly states the report does not replace the buyer's inspection. The buyer may still choose to conduct their own inspection during due diligence, and lenders may require one. HouseFax describes its report as reducing the chance of surprises rather than eliminating the need for a buyer inspection.
• It says the seller typically pays, on the recommendation of their listing agent, and that some agents and sellers split the cost. It also says pricing is per home and far less than one concession, but no specific dollar amount is shown.
• Verification depends on completing the full packageThe HouseFax Verified badge and score are only issued when the full package, including all four trade assessments, has been completed. If any part of the package is not completed, the verified badge and score are not issued according to the stated criteria.

Pre-Listing Preparation for Sellers

Before you list, HouseFax gives you a verified report so you know exactly what you are selling. The process starts when your agent recommends it or you order directly. HouseFax pulls permits, prior inspections, property data, and FEMA flood zone information automatically. Then an inspector plus four licensed trades—a plumber, an electrician, a roofer, and an HVAC technician—assess your home's major systems. The result is one verified report with your home's score, delivered before you list. Early insight protects value, helps you find problems before buyers do, and lets you repair, price, or disclose on your terms.

Reducing Surprises and Concessions During a Sale

Most price cuts come from problems buyers find first. A HouseFax Verified Report dramatically reduces the chance of surprises by giving sellers data to address issues in advance and giving buyers confidence that the home's major systems have been assessed by licensed professionals. If an issue surfaces, you have options: repair it before listing, disclose it and adjust your asking price, or offer a buyer concession. Deals are far less likely to collapse when verified data is already on the table. For agents looking to streamline related workflows, tools like RealAssist can complement your pre-listing toolkit.

Verified Documentation for Buyers and Agents

A HouseFax Verified Report starts with a standard home inspection through inspector partners and adds assessments from four licensed trades: a plumber, an electrician, a roofer, and an HVAC technician. The HouseFax Verified badge and score are only issued when the full package, including all four trade assessments, has been completed. This gives buyers confidence that the home's major systems have been assessed by licensed professionals. It does not replace the buyer's inspection—the buyer may still choose to conduct their own during due diligence, and lenders may require one—but it dramatically reduces surprises. Agents can pair this with HouseCanary for additional property analytics.
