The Homebot Network for Preferred Insurance Agents

Added to a client's Homebot as their insurance agent? Learn how you were added, where you're featured, and the emails you'll get.

Written by Erica McGarvey

The Homebot Network connects you, the preferred insurance agent, directly with clients and prospects at key moments in their journey, all within the Homebot experience sent by their Loan Officer, Real Estate Agent, or Title Agent.

You’ll be co-branded as the go-to expert, helping clients get fast, accurate answers to their home insurance questions.

No subscription? No problem. You don’t need a Homebot account to benefit from being a preferred agent.


How preferred insurance agents are added to The Network

You may be added to the Homebot Network in one of three ways:

  • Homebot automatically links a past buyer’s team of professionals using historical transaction data.

  • Manually by the Homebot customer

  • Directly by your past clients through their Home Digest or Home Search experience.

Once added:

  • If Homebot matched you automatically, you won't hear from us right away. The Homebot customer gets a week to review new matches before their clients see them. When that week ends, you'll get a "{contact} now sees you in Homebot" email and be featured on the client's Homebot.

  • If a Homebot customer or the client added you, you're featured on the client's Homebot right away.

  • The client will be asked to confirm the connection.

If you’re already an active Homebot Insurance Agent, there’s nothing else you need to do. You’re all set! If you’re curious where you’ll be featured and what that looks like to clients and prospects, continue to the next section of this article.
