How does remote home inspection work with SIGHTLY?
Remote home inspection, done smarter, faster and fully digital.

Imagine this scenario: you found a house that meets all your requirements. You would like to schedule a viewing. You contact a buying agent, and he is not available for another two weeks. The property might be gone by the time the agent can meet.

With SIGHTLY, there is no need to wait. You attend the viewing yourself, and we join remotely via our laptop. Our AI-tool and purchasing agents detect defects, provide guidance and they can estimate the repair costs.

With all this information, you can make faster and better informed decisions. And the best thing? There is no busy schedule, we can help you within 1 day.

What is a digital home inspection?

A digital home inspection means that you visit the home, while one of our agents joins you remotely. We video call via our platform. You walk through the property, showing us around, and we give you instructions.

Before the appointment, you will receive a link via email or WhatsApp. This provides you access to our platform. We also sent the seller's agent a list with questions in advance. That way, both parties know what to expect.

During the call, we will guide you through the inspection, ask questions when needed, and make sure no important detail or defect is missed.

After the viewing, you will receive a report that includes:

  • Our observations and photos of visible defects.
  • Estimated repair costs.
  • Additional advice.

You will know what you are dealing with before making an offer.

How does this compare to a traditional inspection?

Traditionally, a buying agent joins you in person during the viewing. In theory, that sounds ideal. You walk through the home together and ask questions in real-time. But this approach has some downsides.

Purchasing agents are often fully booked. Scheduling an appointment can take days, or in some cases even weeks. By then, the home might already be sold. Traditional viewings can also feel rushes.

This is especially the case when an agent has a tight schedule or multiple appointments that day. In this fast-moving housing market, it can be hard for an agent to give each property the attention it deserves.

SIGHTLY offers a modern alternative. You plan the viewing whenever it suits your agenda, and we join you remotely.

We also use our AI-tool during the call, this technology:

  • Detects visible issues.
  • Identifies potential risks.
  • Estimates repair costs.

The report we sent after the viewing is detailed and easy to understand. Based on the report, you can decide whether making an offer is a good idea.

Why choose remote inspection?

In today's housing market, timing matters. Some properties sell within a day, while others stay available for a longer period of time. Either way, it is important to be ready and to act fast.

SIGHTLY is ideal for homebuyers who:

  • Want to act fast.
  • Don't want to depend on the availability of an agent.
  • Want to compare multiple homes with expert input.

When your dream home hits the market, you do not want to wait days to schedule an appointment. With SIGHTLY, we contact you within one business day. And often, we can join the viewing within 24 hours.
