Housizz Home Property Passport
Know what your home is worth.
Know exactly where to invest next.

Eight Ways Your Home Property Passport Works for You
Know What Your Home is Worth — Right Now
Not a Zillow estimate. A considered quarterly assessment of your specific property based on recent Ottawa comparables, your home’s condition, and every improvement on record. Four times a year, you know exactly where you stand.
- Quarterly property value updates
Know Exactly Where to Invest Next
Not all improvements return value. A bathroom renovation in your neighbourhood may return 85 cents on the dollar. New countertops alone may return nothing. The Passport tells you what moves the needle in your specific Ottawa neighbourhood so you spend money on the right things.
- Â ROI guidance before you spend a dollar
Lower Your Insurance Premiums
Documented upgrades — a new roof, updated electrical, replaced furnace — qualify for insurance discounts of 5–15% annually. Your insurer reduces the risk and passes some of the saving to you. But only if you can prove the upgrade was done. The Passport is the proof. On a $3,000/year policy, that is $150–$450 back every year.
- $150–$450 per year in potential savings
Stronger Mortgage and Refinancing Position
Documented equity is bankable equity. An appraiser with documented improvement history will support a higher valuation. A $20,000 higher appraisal at refinancing can move you into a better rate tier — saving thousands over the life of your mortgage.
- Better appraisals. Better rates.
No More Maintenance Surprises
The Passport records the age and condition of every major system — roof, furnace, water heater, windows. You see what is coming before it becomes an emergency. A $3,000 repair today is a $12,000 emergency in three years. The Passport eliminates the surprise version.
- Predictive maintenance. No emergencies.
Arrive at Listing Day Completely Prepared
When you are ready to sell, your Passport is already done. Every improvement documented. Every warranty filed. Every buyer question answered before it is asked. Sellers with complete records sell for more and negotiate from strength.
- Sell for more. Sell faster.
Estate Planning Made Clear
The family home is often the largest asset in an estate. A complete, professionally maintained property record settles estates 3–6 weeks faster, at lower cost, and with significantly less family conflict.
- Simpler settlement. Less conflict.
Manage Your Home Like the Asset It is
The Passport gives you a defensible, evidence-based home equity figure — the foundation of real financial planning. Your financial advisor, accountant, and estate lawyer all make better recommendations when this number is accurate.
- Accurate net worth. Better decisions.

Your Home Property Passport Builds Automatically — With Every Project, Every Quarter, Every Year
A home inspection tells you what is wrong today and becomes outdated the moment you leave. Your Passport grows. Every repair Housizz coordinates is documented. Every renovation is recorded. Every quarterly value update adds a new data point. By year three, you have a complete, professionally maintained record that no homeowner without a Passport could replicate.
1
Initial Assessment
We assess your property and create your Home Passport — condition by system, estimated value range, document inventory, and pre-sale readiness score. Delivered within 5 business days.
2
Every Quarter
Value updated. Market snapshot delivered. Maintenance reminders sent. You always know exactly where your home stands.
3
Every Project
Every repair, renovation, and maintenance job coordinated by Housizz is documented automatically. The Passport builds itself.

Annual Advisory Call
Once a year we review your home’s progress together — what to do this year, what to wait on, where the value is heading.

When You Sell
Your Passport is already done. Every buyer question answered before it is asked. Every negotiation point removed before it is raised.
