Get started: from sign-up to your first room

Homvi sets up your rooms for you, then you fill them in one photo at a time. This walks you from sign-up to your first room of items.

3. Add your address, or skip it

With an address, Homvi fills in your bedrooms and bathrooms from public records and puts the address on your reports. Start typing it and pick it from the list. If we find your home, you'll check the details before you go on. Public records are only available for US addresses.

What's your address?

Rather not, or not in the US? Tap Set up without an address. Give your home a name if you like, enter the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and tap Continue.

Tell us about your home: name, bedrooms and bathrooms

4. Check your rooms

Homvi builds a room list from your bedroom and bathroom count.

Are these your rooms? The list Homvi built

Need one that isn't there, like an office? Tap Add a room at the bottom. When the list looks right, tap Continue setup. You can rename, add or delete rooms any time later from Rooms.

Add a room and Continue setup, at the bottom of the list

5. Photograph your first room

Homvi suggests a room to start with. Tap the big green button to photograph it, or Pick a different room.

Let's start with Kitchen

Tap Take photo to use your camera, or Upload photo to choose one you already have. Stand back and fit as much of the room in the shot as you can.

Photograph Kitchen: Take photo or Upload photo

6. Review what Homvi found

Homvi lists the items it found, up to 10 per photo, each with an estimated value. Tap an item to leave it out, or tap its pencil to fix the name, category or value. Then tap Add N Selected Items.

Found 4 items, each with a value and a pencil to edit it

7. You're set up

You'll see what you captured and the room's total. Tap Add more items to keep going in this room, or Continue to dashboard.

Captured 3 items in Kitchen

Your dashboard shows your documented value, your rooms, and a short checklist of what to do next.
