Is BuyWise a home inspection or an appraisal?

No. Keep your inspector and your appraiser. BuyWise pulls everything else about a home into one place, and with the full report it reads your inspection and turns the findings into a plan you can negotiate with.

What's included in the free report?

Home value and market trends, comparable sales, flood and natural hazards, pollution, noise, schools, amenities, internet and neighborhood change. The full report adds your inspection analysis, the negotiation strategy, property tax and records, registered offenders nearby, and local pros for repairs.

How long does a report take?

Usually a few minutes. You can watch it come together or close the page; we'll email you the link when it's ready.

Do I need my inspection report to start?

No. Start with just the address. When you have the inspection report or the seller's disclosure, add them to your report and it updates.

What can I ask BuyWise AI?

Anything about the property in your report: what a finding means, what a repair might cost, how the area compares, or what to ask the seller. Answers come from your report's data.

When am I charged, and what if it doesn’t work out?

You’re charged only when your report is delivered; if we can’t deliver it, you pay nothing. After that, every full report is risk-free:

  • Not satisfied? Email us within 7 days for a full refund.
  • Deal fell through? Send us the termination notice and you get up to 3 more full reports on your next homes, free, to use within 3 months.
  • Didn’t save at least 10× what you paid? Send us your Closing Disclosure. If the seller concessions you negotiated after getting your report come to less than $590, we refund the $59.

Each report qualifies for one of these. Full details are in our Terms.

Where does BuyWise work?

Homes anywhere in the United States. A few sections rely on local data and may not be available everywhere; your report tells you when a section isn't available.

What happens to the documents I upload?

They're used only to build your report. Original files are deleted automatically after 30 days, and they're never used to train AI models.
