The Homeowner Check-In is a new check-in flow on the “Your Market” module of the Home Digest. This check-in helps capture where client's are in their home ownership journey by asking simple, personalized questions about:

  • Whether they’re thinking about selling

  • Their potential timeline

  • Any related needs

Based on their answers, homeowners will see tailored follow-up questions, smart CTAs (calls-to-action), and options to connect with their loan officer, real estate agent, or other trusted professional on Homebot.


Why it matters

This feature is all about personalization.

  • For homeowners: It creates a guided experience with relevant next steps, so they’re not left guessing what to do.

  • For professionals on Homebot: It provides timely insights, making it easier to understand clients’ needs and step in at the right moment.

Ultimately, this builds a smoother, more meaningful ownership journey while also paving the way for a more robust seller experience in the future.


How it works

  • When it appears:

    • New clients/homeowners see the check-in after their second view of Homebot.

    • For existing clients/homeowners receiving Homebot who have already reached this point, they’ll see it immediately.

  • Frequency:

    • The check-in is available for a two-month window.

    • It then reappears once a year to capture updated intentions.

  • Low-friction design:

    • Homeowners can skip questions at any time.

    • Even partial responses are helpful and captured for insight.

  • Client events & tracking:

    • Responses generate client events, which appear in the Activity feed (more on that below).

    • This data also feeds into the Moving Key Client list for easy follow-up.


Example of check-in flow

In the Your Market module of the Home Digest, the check-in appears at the top and begins with a simple question:

“How long do you plan to stay in your current home?”

From there, the homeowner is guided down one of two tracks:

Track 1: Preparing to Move (Under 1 Year)

If a homeowner indicates they plan to move within the next year, we’ll assume they may be preparing to buy or sell. They’ll see follow-up questions such as:

  • “Why are you planning a move?”

  • “When do you want to move?”

We’ll then ask:

  • “What could you use help with?”

At this point, they’ll have the option to send you a direct message, opening the door for timely engagement.

Track 2: Longer-Term Ownership (Over 1 Year)

If a homeowner plans to stay longer than a year, they’ll move into the ownership track. Here, they’ll be asked:

  • “Do you have any near-future financial goals?”

Based on their answer, they can either explore more insights within their Home Digest or choose to reach out to you directly for guidance.
