How the Get a Quote Widget Works
How the Get a Quote Widget Works
Now that you've enabled and customized your Get a Quote widget, take a look at how a potential client would use it!
The client/agent will click "Get Started"
They will select which service they want to be performed
They will enter the address of the home
Then, they'll click "Next"
They will be prompted to confirm the property information
If they are satisfied with the price for the selected service, they can click "Book Now"
They can then select their preferred date/time for the inspection
If enabled, they can choose their inspector
If enabled, they will be prompted to enter the buyer's agent and listing agent's information
They will then be prompted to enter their (the client's) information
Once they've scheduled the inspection, they will see your confirmation text
The widget uses your services and add-ons set up in your Services and Fees area to give clients and agents an accurate quote of their inspection price.
When the customer first looks at the scheduler, they will see the base cost for the first service listed on your settings and fees. This is the cost of the inspection with no add-ons or modifiers.
This quote will update as they select services and add-ons and when modifiers are added.
❇️ Pro-tip: Your services can be re-ordered in your Services & Fees. You can put your least expensive service at the top of the list to display the lowest fee in the widget. Click here to see how!

If you want to send the link directly to agents and clients, you can click the "View Widget" button and copy the URL at the top of the page to paste into a text or email!

Fill in the email, then click SEND EMAIL
🔴 Note: 🔴
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the automatic square footage or year built will be the same as the online listing for a home.
There isn't currently a database that offers the square footage of homes without any margin for error. Some include the basement sqft, some don't have the most recent additions to the house, etc.!
You can always edit the square footage or pricing after the inspection is created, or turn off the square footage auto-calculation entirely.
This can be done in Settings > Scheduling Options > Uncheck the Enable Sqft/Age of Home Data. By turning off the automatic square footage and age of the home, your client or agent will need to fill in that field using the listing information.
If you have any questions or feedback, write into our chat bubble or email support@spectora.com!
