Why Kukun iHomeReport™ is like the CARFAX for homes

When you buy a used car, you wouldn’t want to skip a CARFAX® report, right? This invaluable resource reveals a car’s ownership history, title status, and past accidents. It provides you with details that could save you from costly surprises. Let’s be honest, before CARFAX existed, many buyers overpaid for vehicles that had hidden damage. Wouldn’t it be great if someone could give you complete info about your home – perhaps your biggest investment? So, is there a CARFAX for homes? 

Yes, there is! Enter Kukun’s iHomeReport™ which delivers critical information about a property’s condition, making it an essential resource for homebuyers, real estate agents, and existing homeowners. Think of it as your ultimate guide to home ownership, helping you save time, money, and stress throughout your real estate journey.

iHomeReport™, the Carfax for homes

What is Kukun iHomeReport™?

The iHomeReport™ is designed to provide a comprehensive look at a home’s history and its future potential. The online tool provides essential home history, investment opportunity, and community information needed to make a confident and fully informed real estate decision.

Whether you’re buying, selling, or maintaining a property, the tool empowers you with:

• Critical insights about the home’s condition and repair history.
• A streamlined way to manage property data from the buying stage to eventual resale.
• Tools to track home renovations and assess return on investment.

By offering this information, the iHomeReport™ helps users avoid hidden costs and maximize their home’s value. No wonder real estate professionals and homeowners are seeing it as the “CARFAX for homes.”

What are the key benefits of iHomeReport™?

Here are the three essential questions it helps answer for buyers:

• What’s the real condition of the house?
  Hidden problems, like unpermitted electrical work or poorly executed additions, can pull down a home’s value. The iHomeReport™ gives a detailed history of the property’s permitted work with its proprietary building permit history, protecting you from unpleasant surprises.
• What’s the financial potential of the property?
  Every home appreciates at a different rate than others, and all homes have different levels of opportunity to profit from the renovation. Kukun provides investment opportunity insights to make it easy to make a smart, informed decision that meets your goals.
• How does the location affect your lifestyle?
  The iHomeReport™ curates detailed maps and neighborhood data, saving you hours of research. It gives you a real-time feel of how the house fits into the community. For instance, you can get a good idea of schools, parks, shopping, and safety parameters in the area – all of which impact your quality of life.
