About Homebinder:

For Homeowners in the digital age who want to accurately manage their largest asset, HomeBinder provides a centralized hub that is automatically updated by an ecosystem of service providers.  HomeBinder went to market through home inspectors who pay a monthly subscription to gift a pre-configured HomeBinder account to their clients.  By doing so we are generating half a million dollars annually and creating 200,000 homes per year.  Going forward, HomeBinder will pull together Home Service Providers and Homeowners by automatically logging what was done on the home through integrations with the software home pros use to run their business.  Ultimately, the objective is a home record platform that is an expected component in all future home transactions much like a Carfax for used cars.
