Welcome to Eave

Eave helps home inspectors build professional inspection reports and share them with clients. You fill out a structured template on-site, attach photos and videos, and publish a web link report that clients can view and download all from one place.

What you can do with Eave

• Run inspections from the built-in Standard Home Inspection template or your own custom templates.
• Capture evidence with photos and videos attached directly to each item you inspect, and draft your summary with AI when you're ready to publish.
• Build faster with AI — describe your template and Eave writes the fields, conditions, and warnings, in the template editor and on your public request form. See Editing a template.
• Flag issues automatically — warnings and home-care tips appear on the report based on the answers you enter.
• Get booked with a public booking link, a per-inspection scheduling link, or a permanent request link that turns website visitors into draft inspections — see Scheduling overview.
• Get paid and get signed off by collecting the inspection fee online and having clients sign a pre-inspection agreement before you arrive — see Payments overview and Agreements overview.
• Publish & share a client-facing report that supports digital signatures.
• Work from your phone with the Eave iOS app — fill out inspections online or offline, with photo annotation and push notifications.
• Collaborate by sharing templates and reports across your organization.

The basic workflow

1. Set up your profile so your name, license, business details, and signature appear on reports. See Dashboard overview and Business profile & licensing.
2. Get on the books — send a client a scheduling link, or set the date yourself. See Scheduling overview.
3. Add an inspection, pick a template, and optionally attach a pre-inspection agreement for the client to sign before you arrive. See Add an inspection and Agreements overview.
4. Fill out the sections on-site, adding photos and videos as you go. See Filling out sections.
5. Review warnings and home-care tips that were triggered by your answers. See Warnings & safety notices and Home care tips.
6. Publish the report and share it with your clients — collect the inspection fee online if you've connected Stripe. See Publishing & sharing reports and Payments overview.

Before your first inspection

A complete profile makes your reports look professional and may be required for licensure. From Settings → Account, fill in:

• Profile — your full legal name and business phone.
• Business — company name and address.
• Licensing — your license number(s), unless your state doesn't require one.
• Signature — draw or upload the signature that appears on reports.
