GuideYour car has a service history. Your home — your biggest asset — usually has a drawer of lost receipts. A property passport fixes that: one private record of everything done to your home, so you know what's been serviced, what's still under warranty, and what's coming due.
A single, private record of your home: the work you've had done, who did it, what it cost, the warranties attached, and the documents that matter — kept together instead of scattered across email and shoeboxes.
When a pro arrives, knowing the furnace was serviced 11 months ago or the roof was redone in 2023 means no duplicate work and no guesswork. At sale time, a documented maintenance history helps justify your asking price to buyers.
Most workmanship issues show up well inside the warranty window — but only if you can prove when the work was done. Keeping invoices and warranty terms in one place means you can actually claim them.
Your home's record belongs to you. You choose what to share and with whom — a pro, a realtor, a buyer — and nothing is shown without your say-so.
Every job you book on Genie is written to your home's record automatically, and you can add documents and warranties yourself. Genie then uses that history to remind you before each service is due — turning a pile of receipts into a plan.
Service dates, who did the work, cost, warranties, and any documents or photos. Genie builds this automatically from your bookings and lets you add your own.
Yes — a documented maintenance history reassures buyers and helps support your asking price.
