What HomeBinder does

HomeBinder is a centralized, cloud-hosted home management platform founded in 2012 by Jack Huntress and headquartered in Burlington, Massachusetts, operating as a division of InspectionGo Inc. (iGo). The platform stores inspection reports, appliance data, maintenance schedules, documents, photos, paint colors, home inventory, and service provider contacts in a single digital binder accessible to homeowners for the lifetime of ownership, with automated text and email maintenance reminders, Consumer Product Safety Commission recall alerts, and zip-code-specific repair cost estimates via the bundled Repair Pricer product. The technology layer combines web-based centralized databases, mobile-responsive interfaces, notification systems, and an API-driven integration architecture connecting it to more than 20 partner platforms including Spectora, ISN, Horizon, Home Inspector Pro, Encompass (ICE), Salesforce, dotloop, Mortgage Coach, QuickBooks, ServiceTitan, and HouseCall Pro.

HomeBinder sells exclusively through an authorized partner network of home inspectors, mortgage lenders, and real estate agents, who pay monthly subscription fees to offer the platform to their clients; homeowners receive a free lifetime subscription when referred by an authorized partner. The product suite has been extended with HomeBinder Assistant (a 2023 concierge service for utility and home service setup via a single call), Repair Pricer (now exceeding 1.1 million reports), AI-powered Energy Reports through the Energy Raven partnership, and a February 2026 nationwide network of pre-vetted moving providers. HomeBinder reports more than 950,000 homeowners, 5,000+ home inspector partners, 3,000+ Trustpilot 5-star reviews, and nationwide US coverage, and operates with a headcount of 1–10 employees under CEO Jack Huntress.

Revenue model

1. Partner Subscription (B2B SaaS): Home inspection companies, mortgage lenders, and real estate agents pay a monthly subscription fee to access HomeBinder and offer it to their clients. Partners can cancel with 30 days notice. The homeowner subscription is free for the lifetime of homeownership regardless of partner subscription status.
2. Free for Homeowners (Freemium): Homeowners receive HomeBinder and HomeBinder Assistant completely free for life when referred by an authorized partner (home inspector, lender, or agent). This free lifetime access is a core feature of the B2B2C model — the partner bears the cost through their subscription.
3. Repair Pricer Reports: Home inspectors and agents can order Repair Pricer reports providing zip-code-specific repair cost estimates. Pricing through HomeBinder is described as the most cost-effective way to access Repair Pricer on the market. Part of InspectionGo product suite.
