Top concern(s):
Agents need to get over the fear of things that surface in inspections, and software like this helps. But with inspections so engrained in the psyche of buyer agents as “must obey” reports, any software that streamlines that process risks widespread adoption.
What you should know
TheQwikFix is software for making sense of home inspections. It takes inspector-generated reports and converts them to digital, categorized repair summaries. It includes estimates and the ability to choose which items deserve the most attention in the deal. The UI/UX complements the mission, making it easy to understand all the details intrinsic to such documentation. Clients can be added to the report views, which are broken down into major categories for easy digestion, which can hopefully make a buyer less panic-stricken about what they’re getting into.
TAKE THE INMAN INTEL SURVEY FOR MAY
I should add that since my initial look at this product a couple of years ago, it’s been selected for 2025’s NAR REACH program. The timing is terrific for its founder, Jeremy Henley, who just got TheQwikFix to a point of stability that will allow it to move “qwikly” into new markets, having recently expanded to five.
The software’s artificial intelligence does most of the work in a couple of minutes, tops, and then the company’s staff jumps in to verify that the inspection items match the job quotes and generally, that the numbers are what they should be.
Costs are clear and sourced from national databases on labor rates and material costs, and contractors can be invited via TheQwikFix’s local network. Perhaps its most critical benefit is in the service realm, as the company also deploys and manages repair vendors, taking a big burden off the shoulders of the seller.
I’m all in on anything that removes friction from the deal, a lot of which is caused by the inspection. This is not the inspector’s problem. The problem is the general reaction to what they find. Outside of serious detriments to a property, the majority of problems uncovered are minor, yet they end up becoming another reason to worry.
Compounding the problem is the very physical manner in which these issues are presented: long, wordy reports with bad images and scary jargon like “requires immediate attention“ and “possible fire hazard.” A home sale shouldn’t fall apart over a shoddy garbage disposal.
What helps TheQwikFix earn its value is that it keeps the deal moving forward. The fast turnaround, the simple interface, the easy-to-read pricing — it all contributes to the momentum needed to get to close. You don’t need days between the report’s handover and the listing agent’s handyman deciding how to price it.
On that note, it’s my take that the listing agent should get an inspection onboarded to the software before the first offer comes in. If the entire industry relies on ethics and trust to ensure deal integrity, there is zero reason why buyers can’t trust an inspection orchestrated by the seller. Hell, in most markets all the agents know the inspectors, and what agent or inspector is going to risk their standing by screwing with a report? Jesus, let’s end this antiquated notion that the inspection has to be “done by my guy.”
This software can do a great job serving as a single source of truth for all parties. It’s collaborative, detailed and uses images in conjunction with descriptions to leave nothing in doubt.
But, until buyer agents learn to better prepare clients for what to find, and listing agents convince sellers that their house isn’t perfect, we’ll need software like TheQwikFix, and all others in this space, too.
TheQwikFix gives sellers the ability to quickly respond to the most needed repairs and buyers the chance to consider what’s really important for them to have ready before move-in. (Stop asking sellers to fund your updates.)
However, I don’t think every deal should default to negotiating closing credits to cover the repair. Sure, it’s “easier,” but also super subjective, and it puts yet another line item on the HUD 1. I’m fine with getting someone in there to fix some leaks, tighten bolts and address minor electrical concerns or whatever, and that’s what this company can do for you.
Processing an inspection takes 24 hours or less; the users log in, select the items, and schedule fixes, generally speaking. Payment for contractor work is handled at closing, which I don’t love because, like credits, it’s always best to have a clean close. Anything on that document can become a reason for someone to want to tear it up and walk, regardless of how many times you’ve told them what to expect.
Everyone who is a part of the deal can be invited into the dashboard for input and general inclusion on project updates, as well as how each project overlaps with closing dates, thanks to an onboard calendar.
At no point will anyone be unsure of what something costs. The final term sheet is a simple, clearly worded rundown that all parties can universally refer to as the escrow carries on, a good way to no longer rely on email or voicemails in regard to what was wanted or ordered.
This system is light enough and affordable for agents at any level of their career, and it would make a great way for recent licensees to avoid, or at least alleviate, a lot of the hang-ups inspections often create. And individual investors, or agents with investors as clients, would be wise to have a look, too.
TheQwikFix is growing like a product that wants to be around for a while. By that, I mean it’s not taking any shortcuts by pushing into MLS partnerships before it was ready or hunting around for investors before it has real traction and industry case studies. It found its way into REACH, swept its floors, cleaned the counters and hung an “Open for Business” sign only when it was really ready to accept customers. I like where this is headed.
