Summary
InspectHOA is on a mission to give the real estate industry a tech makeover by tapping into the power of large language models and vast datasets. Today, real estate transactions are plagued by manual workflows that create needless delays and errors, costing the industry billions. In fact, according to industry data, a staggering 17% of real estate transactions are delayed, leading to high costs and inconvenience for all parties involved.
InspectHOA’s Copilot platform enables mortgage companies, title companies, and real estate investors to automate some of their most manual and arduous workflows. By incorporating cutting-edge LLM-based automated agents, we have successfully replaced manual workflows that were previously impossible to automate using traditional methods. This revolutionary approach opens up a massive opportunity to modernize the industry, fast-track transactions, and boost efficiency.

Competitors
Proplogix
Backed by Accel-KKR, offers Title and Investors a range of services comparable to InspectHOA. However, while InspectHOA harnesses technology and AI for streamlining real estate (RE) workflows, Proplogix depends on their analyst teams. The use of AI allows InspectHOA to execute real estate workflows more efficiently, cost-effectively, and with reduced errors.
Association Online

In contrast, InspectHOA integrates AI and comprehensive datasets, not just to manage workflows, but to also enhance accuracy, boost efficiency, and offer a tech-forward approach that's adaptive to the changing landscape of real estate. This digital edge gives InspectHOA a distinctive advantage in the market.
