How to Add Your Property

Before Soffit can do anything useful, we need to know which home is yours. Here's how to add it.

Finding your address

After signing in, tap "Add Property" and start typing your address. We use Google's address database, so you should see your home pop up in the suggestions pretty quickly. Tap it to select it.

Claiming your home

Once you select your address, your claim will be set to "pending" until you verify ownership. Don't worry — this happens automatically as part of your first annual review (more on that in a sec).

Verifying ownership

During your first annual review, you'll take photos around your property. We use the GPS data embedded in those photos to confirm you're actually at the address you claimed. If the location in your photos matches your property address, you're all set.

A couple things to know:

• Keep location services on when taking photos. If your phone's GPS is off, we won't be able to verify your location.
• If photos don't match, we'll let you know and ask you to retake them. This can happen if GPS was inaccurate or you took photos from a neighboring property.
• You have 3 months to complete your first annual review after claiming a property. If it's not done by then, the claim is removed and you'd need to add the property again.

Your first annual review

Right after claiming your property, you'll be guided into your first annual review. This is a four-step process where you photograph the outside of your home, confirm property details, photograph the inside room by room, and review the systems we detected. It takes about 15-20 minutes and you can pause and come back anytime — your progress is saved.

For the full walkthrough, see Annual Reviews & Seasonal Checkups.

What if my address doesn't show up?

If your home doesn't appear in the address search, it may be a very new construction or not yet in Google's database. Reach out to us at team@soffit.ai and we'll help get you set up.
