HomeDiary for your clients and sphere
Sponsoring a HomeDiary or Ordering the Diary: What Is the Difference?
Both options let you introduce HomeDiary to past clients, current clients, future clients, friends or anyone else in your sphere of influence. The difference is what happens next.
A sponsorship invitation connects you to the homeowner as their HomeDiary Sponsor. Ordering a HomeDiary goes further by letting you collaborate, add reminders and other useful information and—depending on the package—provide an editable 2D/3D floor plan of the home.

Why ordering matters
Do More Than Make an Introduction
A sponsorship invitation establishes the relationship. An ordered HomeDiary lets you participate in creating something useful. That distinction matters around a real estate transaction. The buyer is receiving documents, inspection findings, recommendations, photos and important information from several directions at once. Some of it makes it into a folder. Some makes it into an email archive. Some disappears into the mysterious place where closing documents apparently go to hide.Add the record now.
Upload useful transaction documents and before photos.
Remember the later task.
Create maintenance reminders from inspection findings.
Share trusted help.
Add contact information for recommended home professionals.
Stay useful after closing.
Give the owner something that continues delivering value, and keeps you in front of them.
A floor plan answers questions photographs cannot.
Will the sofa fit? How much flooring might be needed? How could the kitchen be reconfigured? What layout should be sent to the contractor? The digital twin remains connected to the HomeDiary instead of becoming another static file that gets forgotten.

It is a practical way to visualize room designs, explore furniture and layout ideas, or plan patios, gardens and landscaping before making a commitment.

Which Option Should You Choose?
Order a HomeDiary when you are working with a client through a transaction—especially when you have documents, photos, reminders or useful property information that can give the owner a better start. Add the 2D/3D floor plan when you want to provide the most useful version: a HomeDiary the owner can build on, plus a digital model they can use for moving, planning and future projects. 92% of buyers want to experiment with furniture placement and more. We let them do it. On the flip side, the Sponsorship Invite is the practical alternative when you simply want to introduce HomeDiary to a past client, prospect or member of your sphere and remain connected as their sponsor.
