Your home's file, kept in one private place. KeptHaven holds the documents, deadlines and upkeep of your house after you buy it. Your real estate agent sets it up for you, and it is free for you to use, for as long as you own the home. WHAT IS IN IT The closing packet, the deed, the survey, insurance policies, warranties, manuals and receipts, filed once and searchable. Reminders before the date, not after. The homestead filing in March, the insurance renewal, the warranty that ends next spring. A record of the home that builds over time: service visits, repairs, serial numbers, how old the roof and the water heater actually are. A short list of what needs attention, in order, with one plain reason beside each item. Ask My Home, which answers questions about the house from the documents filed for it. Your agent, one tap away: call, text, email, or ask for a market analysis. WHAT THE APP ADDS Photograph a document, a receipt or a room with the camera, and it goes into the same review step your agent sees. Notifications for maintenance reminders, storm and safety alerts and notes from your agent. Account settings has a button that sends you a test one, so you can see one arrive. A screen that still works with no connection, and your account, your data export and your account deletion all inside the app. WHO PAYS Homeowners never do. Real estate agents subscribe to a seat, and one seat covers every client portal that agent builds. An agent can subscribe inside the app, under Your agent seat. WHO CAN SEE YOUR FILE Your agent sees the homes assigned to them, and your brokerage's admin sees the homes in that brokerage. Nobody else has a standing view of your file. You can take a copy of everything in it, or delete it, from Account settings at any time. Designed for iPhone. Built in St. Augustine, Florida, by a working real estate agent.
