For renovation loan consultants and their lenders
One shared project for everyone on the loan, from the lender’s order to the signed report. Nobody has to ask where the file stands.
The problem
Five people, one stack of documents, and most of it moves by email and PDF. Every handoff is another place for the file to sit.
Nobody can see where the file stands without asking, so the borrower hears last.
Sign-offs, clearances and inspections get chased by email while the contractor waits to be paid.
Someone has to keep checking who hasn’t signed the report package.
Spreadsheets, inboxes and a separate e-signature tool don’t know what a renovation loan needs next.
How it works
A full report, step by step. Feasibility studies skip the site visit and convert to a full report if the borrower goes ahead.
The loan officer opens the project at the property address. The consultant accepts, and the job is on record.
The borrower gets the agreement and invoice, then signs and pays by card from one link.
The inspector e-signs the Work Order, offers times, and completes the MPS inspection on site, with photos on each item and flags for drawings, permits or engineering.
The inspection becomes the work write-up. Contractors price each line, and you see the gap from your own numbers. They never do.
You review a preliminary report, then RenoDesk compiles the final with the right form set. Nothing goes to the loan officer and appraiser until everyone has signed.
Automation
You make the decisions. RenoDesk does the sending, chasing and filing.
An order comes in
Your fee is proposed from the program’s schedule, extra units and mileage included. You approve it.
You accept the order
The agreement and invoice go to the borrower.
The borrower pays
The project moves on and the loan officer is told the inspection is being set up.
You assign an inspector
The Work Order goes out for signature, then the borrower picks an inspection time.
Someone goes quiet
Reminders go to anyone who hasn’t activated, scheduled or signed.
The last signature lands
The signed package goes to the loan officer and appraiser.
The report package
The report is what you’re paid for. RenoDesk compiles it in order, with the forms your loan program needs.
All 35 repair categories appear, marked N/A where no work is planned.
Subtotals, allowable fees, the contingency reserve and the grand total are calculated for you.
Photos are grouped by repair item, so underwriters aren’t hunting through attachments.
Review the finished PDF before it goes out. No exporting, fixing and re-uploading.
Real loans
The details generic project software gets wrong.
Swap in a new loan officer or inspector mid-project. The history stays and nothing is re-entered.
Report documents expire 180 days after the loan application. RenoDesk warns you at 150.
Radon needs a certification, not a permit. Propane, septic, wells, lead paint and buried tanks are covered too.
Inspector W-9s and IDs, contractor licenses and insurance: all on file before the first Work Order.
Who it’s for
Everyone sees what they need to act on, and nothing they shouldn’t.
Every order in one place, every file’s next step in view, and reports signed from the project.
Milestone emails and live status, without the consultant’s working documents or fees. The signed report lands with you.
One link to sign, pay, book the inspection and follow along. Nothing to print.
A Work Order with everything the visit needs, a map link, and the inspection recorded item by item.
Price the write-up and sign the report from a link.
