Signing up — the free trial

What this screen is for. Creating a HomeRecon account. Signup is free — no card, no sales call — and your next two inspections are on us. This page also offers a pay-now path for a firm that's already decided. How to get there. Any Start free button on the site lands here. What every button does The form — four essentials Business name — becomes your booking-site address ("Your booking site at launch: summit-peak-inspections.homerecon.ai"). Honest wording: the address is reserved now and activates at launch. Your name and License # (the license is optional — add it later in Settings if you like). State you inspect in — required, because it sets the rules we follow for your license display and your inspection agreement. Home inspection is regulated state by state; we don't guess your state later. Owner email and a password typed twice (at least 8 characters, with a show/hide eye). The second entry has to match — a silent typo here would be a lockout later. Mobile phone (when the security gate is on) — we text a 6-digit code; one account per verified number. If our texting service hiccups, the page says it's likely not your number and gives you support's address rather than a retry loop. The terms box — "I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy." Both open in an in-page reader, so nothing you've typed is lost while you read. What you ticked, which versions were on screen, and when — all of it is recorded. How do you want to start? Start free (the default) — the trial. Two real inspections, no card. Subscribe now — for a firm that's already sure: pick monthly ($299/mo, cancel anytime) or a year up front ($2,870 — 20% off). No card is taken on this site either way — after you confirm your email, the dashboard opens the checkout for you. Nothing is billed until then. After you submit "One click in your inbox and you're live." We email a confirmation link; clicking it activates the account and signs you in — the link is your first sign-in. Sign-in and inspections stay locked until it's clicked. The success screen restates your website-at-launch address and your sign-in email. Common questions "Do I need a credit card to sign up?" No. Signup is free, the trial is two real inspections, and even "Subscribe now" doesn't take a card here — the secure checkout opens in the dashboard after your first sign-in. "I never got the confirmation email." Check spam first. If the address already had an account, the form says so up front and points you to sign in or reset the password instead. "Why do you need my state?" Licensing and your inspection agreement follow state rules — displaying your license the way your state wants it and naming the right standards of practice both start there. "Why a phone code?" One account per verified number keeps throwaway signups out. If the code won't come, the page offers a human way out after the second try. "What happens on my first login?" The dashboard sets up your firm — your account, your starter services with real prices, your website (in the default HomeRecon colors, yours to change in Settings) — and the setup guide walks you from there. "Can I read the terms without losing the form?" Yes — they open in a reader on top of the page; close it and everything you typed is still there. Good to know A brand-new firm starts with three real services on its site — a buyer's inspection, a pre-listing inspection, and a 4-point — with prices, so the booking site never renders empty. All editable later. The one verifiable customer is named right on the page: proven on real inspections at Parker Home Inspections, Everett, WA. Signing up an email that already has an account never leaks anything to a stranger — and never leaves you waiting on an email that isn't coming.
