Porch Group, Inc., added a module to its suite of software solutions provided through its Inspection Support Network (ISN). Now, Porch can provide agents and homebuyers the ability to pay for their home inspection either at the close of a home purchase or at the time of inspection.
Through the pay-at-close program, ISN will manage both providing payment to the inspector at time of inspection and invoicing the escrow company on behalf of the homebuyer to defer payment to the close of escrow. The program addresses the needs of homebuyers, agents, and inspectors while continuing to expand the value proposition Porch provides through its ISN software, according to the company.
“We’re always actively exploring every avenue to help home inspection companies grow and stand out from their competition,” Porch Group founder, Chairman and CEO Matt Ehrlichman said in a release. “At the same time by helping homebuyers now pay for their inspections at close, we can make the homebuying experience easier and with less friction for all parties.”
The program is available to select inspection companies and will begin a broad roll-out in 2022.
