AfterrHome: AfterrHome uses A.I. to help users book remote live stream inspections. | Wefunder

After the countless stories of home inspection nightmares that can be found on social media, we decided to revolutionize the home inspection industry by addressing the top complaints of :

  1. Finding reputable, quality and transparent inspectors
  2. Scheduling in-person inspections around their schedule

3)slow inspection reports

  1. out-of-pocket costs of inspections

After doing more research, we decided that homebuyers also needed some assistance in choosing the appropriate environmental inspections for their home

So we created a platform that uses Artificial Intelligence to scan the address of the property and suggest environmental inspections based on the neighborhood data

AfterrHome also allows users to pay only 50% on the costs at booking and the rest they can pay over three months

We learned more about how to launch a successful start-up. We also learned how to talk to users. We conducted many surveys with realtors, existing homeowners and future homeowners to assess their needs, experience with home inspections and our ability to respond to "pain points". We got lots of positive feedback!

The COVID-19 pandemic delayed our launch. We then had to figure out how to pivot

We knew that we needed to rethink our approach and decided that whatever we did next...had to be innovative ...so

After experiencing social distancing, we realized that this was our new norm and we have to find a way to conduct inspections but adhere to social distancing

We did some research and realized that social distancing offered a chance to innovate home inspections by introducing remote live stream inspections

Our inspectors would do on-site home inspections, and provide a live-stream link for the homebuyer and realtor to attend remotely

While it is definitely a response to the pandemic; it also offers a long-term solution to the longstanding problem of scheduling with the inspector, home buyer and realtor. With remote live stream inspections, the realtor and inspector can stay in their offices and watch the inspection via live stream link

We felt we had a great idea but we wanted to pitch it to the tech community! So we entered the DC StartUp Week 1st Virtual Pitch Competition,

After competing with 9 other companies, AfterrHome emerged as the winner! We won $1,000, a free month at WeWork, in-kind services from Technology Rivers and the validation of the community

We received lots of positive feedback from users and industry professionals and are set to launch on November 1, 2020

By integrating A.I. and remote live stream inspections, we are changing the way home-related inspections are conducted

In the next 12 months we are looking towards the following milestones:

Launch

Establish 5 brokerage partnerships

Add all advanced features fully integrated on our site

Establish partnership with the Baltimore Department of Health for Environmental Inspection Hazard Prevention Programs

Fully launch in at least 5 states

Thank you for choosing us! We hope that you'll stay connected with us and follow us along our success journey!!
