KNOW YOUR
HOME BEFORE
YOU BUY IT.

Not exactly — but the $399 walk-through and liability transfer gets very close. The original inspector walks through the property with you, answers your questions, and formally transfers their professional liability to you. For most buyers, this provides the same practical protection as commissioning your own inspection, at a fraction of the cost.

The $199 purchase delivers a time-limited watermarked PDF (7 days) with the buyer's name and email on every page. Sharing it means sharing a document with your name on it. More importantly, sharing the document doesn't transfer liability — only the $399 walk-through purchase includes the formal liability transfer that provides real legal protection.

No — you pay your inspector directly for a pre-listing inspection (typically around $199, but prices vary by size and location). The inspector uploads the report to HomeFax at no extra charge. HomeFax earns $0 from the seller. When buyers purchase report access, the inspector earns $150–$300 per sale and HomeFax takes its share from the buyer side only.

Reports are publicly available for 120 days from the upload date, with a hard cap of 6 months from the original inspection date. If your home sells before 120 days, the report is archived when the sale is recorded. Sellers receive view-only access to their report for personal use and PDS assistance — this access is not for sharing or distribution.

Any CAHPi-certified, licensed home inspector in Manitoba can register and upload to HomeFax. Registration is free. Inspectors must agree to HomeFax's terms of service, including the liability transfer framework, before uploading their first report. We verify credentials at signup.

Yes — inspectors simply export their completed report as a PDF from Horizon (or any other inspection software) and upload it directly to HomeFax. No integration or software change is required. We provide a one-page quick-start guide for Horizon users at signup.

HomeFax is launching in Manitoba first in 2025. Saskatchewan and Alberta are planned for Phase 2, followed by national expansion. Each province requires its own disclosure template and regulatory review. If you're an inspector or realtor in another province and want to be notified when we launch there, sign up for our waitlist.
