Getting started

Getting started

Create your account and open the dashboard

Use the same Google or email login as Handyman.com — your projects show up here automatically.

HomeManager is the homeowner dashboard for the eCorp home-services network. Sign up free at /signup/homeowner or sign in with Google.

After login you land on My Home — projects, messages, and your home record live in the sidebar.

Post your first project

Add a title, trade, location, and optional contractor quote — free QuoteNetwork starts automatically.

Go to Post a project, describe the work, and attach photos or an estimate if you have one.

Every new project is linked to your home record instantly so warranties and receipts have a place to live.

  • Free forever to post
  • No obligation to hire

QuoteNetwork & Deep Review

QuoteNetwork & Deep Review

How free QuoteNetwork works

A plain-language read on whether your quote looks fair, what’s in scope, and what’s missing.

When you post a project with enough detail, HomeManager queues a free QuoteNetwork opinion on the project record.

Use it to decide whether to negotiate, get another bid, or upgrade to a Deep Review.

What the $49 Deep Review includes

Line-by-line analysis, red flags, negotiation points, milestone plan, and $49 escrow credit.

Deep Review is a one-time upgrade per project. Checkout runs through ServiceEscrow — HomeManager never stores your card.

Your $49 comes back as credit toward ServiceEscrow protection on that same project.

Milestones & ServiceEscrow

Milestones & ServiceEscrow

Protect payments with milestones

Fund each stage through ServiceEscrow and release only when you approve photo proof.

Approve a milestone plan on the project, protect the project, then fund stages one at a time.

Release after you review proof. A final holdback gives you time to inspect the finish.

RealtyChain

RealtyChain

What is RealtyChain?

Post a project and your property appears for free to view. Plus unlocks editing, documents, and more homes.

Open RealtyChain in the sidebar. When you post a project, it links to a property automatically — free users can view that home and its projects.

Upgrade to Homeowner Plus ($99/yr) to add documents, appliances, extra properties, and edit anything on the record.

  • Free: view property + projects
  • Plus: add/edit docs and more homes
  • Property → projects → documents

Add another property (Plus)

Plus annual unlocks additional homes — each with its own projects and document file.

On RealtyChain, click Add property. Name the home and optionally add address, city, and ZIP.

Documents and projects are scoped to the selected property so you never mix files across homes.

  • Free: 1 property
  • Plus ($99/yr): add more homes
  • All docs live under a property

Upload warranties and receipts

Free for every homeowner — pick a type, add optional vendor/amount/expiry, and upload to the selected property.

On RealtyChain → Documents, choose Warranty, Receipt, Invoice, Permit, or Insurance.

Files always save under the property you have selected. You can enter vendor, amount, and expiry yourself. Plus members can also run an AI scan after upload.

AI document scan (Plus)

Plus extracts vendor, amount, dates, and product details into editable fields.

Check “AI scan after upload” when adding a document. We store structured fields in your home record so reminders and spend work automatically.

Always review the extracted fields — you can edit them anytime.

Appliances & systems registry

Track make, model, and serial for the big systems in your home.

Add HVAC, water heaters, roofs, and appliances under Appliances & systems.

Link a warranty document later so claim time is less stressful.

Home spend ledger

Amounts from receipts and invoices roll into a simple total by document type.

Enter an amount when you upload, or let Plus scan fill it in.

Use the spend section to see what you’ve documented on the house over time.

Photo proof library

Project and milestone photos can land on the home record when work is complete.

Mark a project complete or add it to your home record to promote photos into the library.

These photos are included in the Plus resale packet.

Maintenance checklist

Seasonal tasks you can mark done so the house stays ahead of surprises.

Spring and fall HVAC, gutters, detectors, and water heater flush are seeded for you.

Mark done when finished — your home record keeps the history.

Warranty expiry reminders (Plus)

Plus emails you 90, 30, and 7 days before a warranty or policy expires.

Set an expiry date on the document (or let AI scan find it).

Reminders use your project-alert email preferences.

Download a resale / claim packet (Plus)

Printable home record with projects, documents, spend, and photos.

Open RealtyChain → Resale / claim packet → Download packet for the selected property.

Use your browser’s Print → Save as PDF for a shareable file.
