Is Essentify like a CARFAX for homes?

That's the idea. CARFAX made car histories transparent so buyers could trust what they were getting. Essentify does the same for homes. Every repair, service, and upgrade documented, with a history you can hand to a buyer when it's time to sell.

What happens to my records if I cancel?

You can export everything, anytime, in standard formats. Your data is yours. Other apps in this space have shut down and taken years of user records with them. That will never happen here. Export is a feature, not a favor.

I don't have receipts from past years. Is it too late to start?

Not at all. Start logging today and backfill old records whenever you find them. Even approximate dates for past work beat a blank page when it's time to sell.

Does Essentify work for condos and rentals?

Yes. Anything with systems and appliances deserves a history. Property managers track entire portfolios from one dashboard on the Property Management plan.

How do I share my home's history with a buyer or agent?

Every appliance has its own QR code and link showing its full service history, with no sign-up needed on their end. You can also share the whole property in view-only mode.

Your records are encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell your data. Your home's history is nobody's business but yours, until you decide to share it.

How much does Essentify cost?

The Homeowner plan is $10 a month, Investor is $30, and Property Management is $25 per building. The first 100 people on the waitlist lock in the Homeowner plan at $5 a month for life.

When does Essentify launch?

August 4. Waitlist members get access first.

The problem

Your home's maintenance history is scattered. Or gone.

Quick question. When was your water heater installed?

Receipts in a shoebox

Or a junk drawer. Or gone.

Blurry photos

Somewhere in the camera roll.

Service dates

Pure guesswork.

No records means missed warranties and a sale price that never reflects what you put in.

Built for everyone with a stake in a home

Homeowners

Your house is your biggest investment. Track every dollar that goes into it, catch small maintenance before it becomes big repairs, and never lose a warranty again.

Real estate agents

The closing gift that keeps your name in their home. Gift Essentify at closing and stay top of mind until they sell again.

Property managers

Every unit, every repair, every vendor in one dashboard. Stop digging through email threads to answer owner questions.

The founder

Built by a contractor who got tired of guessing

I'm Kevin. I run a licensed construction company in Chicago.

I've worked in hundreds of homes. I can count on one hand the owners who knew when their systems were last serviced. No records. No receipts. Just guesses.

Those guesses cost real money. Repairs that should have been maintenance. Warranties nobody claimed. Sale prices that never reflected the investment.

CARFAX solved this for cars decades ago. Nobody solved it for the biggest purchase of your life.

So I built it.
