Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about how DocReviewIQ works, what it costs, and what happens to your data.
What is DocReviewIQ?
DocReviewIQ is an AI powered tool for real estate agents that reads home inspection report PDFs and produces color coded defect summaries, plain language explanations, and branded repair request documents. It was built by people who have worked in the home inspection and construction industry since 2006.
How does the AI summarize a home inspection report?
You upload the inspection PDF, and the AI extracts every finding, classifies each one by severity (safety hazard, major defect, repair recommended, or monitor and maintain), and writes a plain language explanation of what it is, why it matters, and the sensible next step. It also surfaces what buyers usually miss: the inspector's stated limitations (areas that could not be inspected), items flagged for further evaluation by a specialist, and useful informational details like system ages and shutoff locations. The engine validates that the document matches the report type you selected before generating anything.
Does the AI summary replace the inspection report?
No. The summary is a communication aid, not a substitute for the original report or the licensed inspector's findings. Every document and email carries a report specific disclaimer, and nothing is sent to a client until you confirm you have reviewed it.
What types of inspection reports does DocReviewIQ support?
Thirteen report types are live today: home inspection, radon, termite and WDO, water testing, well, mold, sewer scope, pool and spa, septic, chimney, roof, structural inspection by an inspector, and structural engineer report. Each type runs its own AI prompt, output format, and disclaimer. Asbestos, lead paint, oil tank, and wind mitigation are on the roadmap.
How long does it take to process a report?
Minutes, even for reports of 60 pages or more. Every report shows a clear status while it works: uploaded, processing, ready, reviewed, sent. If a parse fails you get a clear error and a reason, never an endless spinner.
Can I send the summary directly to my buyer?
Yes, and your buyer can do more than read it. After you confirm your review, your buyer gets a secure private link where they accept a disclaimer, read the findings in plain language, and select the items they want to request. Their selections return to you as a draft repair request that you finalize. Nothing is sent on their behalf without you, auto send is off by default, and the full branded package goes to the buyer at closing when you confirm the handoff.
Will the documents carry my branding?
Yes. Upload your logo and company information once, and every summary, repair request, and client email carries your branding alongside the report disclaimer.
What if the AI gets something wrong?
You are always the professional in the loop. The workflow requires you to review every summary before anything is sent, mismatched uploads are flagged before generation, and every document links back to the original report, which remains the authoritative record.
How much does DocReviewIQ cost?
Nothing during the preview. Invited agents have full access to every feature and every report type at no cost. The planned pricing is a free tier of one report per month, a $39 single report option, and Agent Pro at $29 per month or $290 per year, and preview agents lock it in for as long as their subscription stays active. Inspection firms pay $2.95 per covered deal with no monthly fee. See the pricing page for details.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
Your data is kept for 12 months after cancellation and can be restored by resubscribing. You can export your documents at any time.
Can my whole brokerage or team use one account?
Multi seat brokerage and team accounts are on the roadmap. Today, each agent has an individual account. Register interest on the contact page and we will notify you when team plans open.
Is my clients' information secure?
Reports and client details are stored under your account and are not shared with other users. Records are kept under each property with manual delete only, so nothing disappears mid transaction, and communication with buyers happens only when you trigger it.
Do I have to switch inspection software?
No. We are not report writing software and we are not asking you to switch. Nothing to migrate and nothing to learn. Your report goes in exactly as it comes out of the system you use today.
What if my agent works with other inspectors too?
Then those deals are not yours and you are not charged for them. We recognise a deal as yours by looking inside the document for details you registered, such as your office phone and your website. If we cannot recognise it as yours, it is not covered.
What can I see about the agents I sponsor?
For each deal you cover: the property address, the date, and which agent read it. Not the buyer, not the report, not the findings, and not the repair request.
