Yet despite its value, the way we manage property information hasn’t evolved much in decades. Paperwork is scattered across filing cabinets, emails, and drawers. Renovation records get lost, warranty documents go missing, and property handovers often leave buyers with more questions than answers.
That’s where Know Your Home (KYH) steps in — a smart property management app designed to modernise the way we store, share, and safeguard the story of every home. More than just a digital filing cabinet, KYH creates a seamless bridge between homeowners, investors, and real estate professionals.
Why Property Needs a Digital Upgrade
The property market has always been information-heavy, but until now, information management has been clunky at best. Sellers often scramble to pull together the required compliance documents. Buyers are left wondering if the air conditioner still has a warranty. Agents spend hours chasing down details from time-poor owners.
Recent reforms in Queensland — including the Seller Disclosure Regime under the Property Law Act 2023 (effective from August 2025) — have put an even brighter spotlight on the importance of transparency and accuracy in property sales. As REIQ notes, “Compliance is no longer optional — it’s essential.” (REIQ, 2024).
KYH is built for this moment. By digitising property records and making them accessible at the tap of a button, the app ensures compliance, confidence, and clarity across the entire property journey.
Features That Set KYH Apart
What makes KYH more than just another app? Its unique features are designed to solve real pain points:
-
Digital Property Log
Store everything from title searches to appliance warranties, council approvals, renovation records, and pool safety certificates in one secure, cloud-based location. -
QR Code Sharing
Generate a unique QR code for your property that allows agents, buyers, tenants, or even family members to instantly view selected information. Perfect for open homes, rentals, and property handovers. -
Customisable Access
You decide what gets shared. Sellers can provide full compliance documentation, while homeowners may only share appliance manuals or renovation notes with tenants. -
Seamless Ownership Transfer
When a property changes hands, all stored information can be securely transferred to the new owner — a feature that adds immense value to buyers and peace of mind to sellers. -
Analytics & Reporting
Real estate professionals can access insights on property history, compliance status, and user engagement, helping them stand out as trusted advisors.
Benefits for Homeowners
For homeowners, KYH is about control and convenience. No more digging through folders to find out when the hot water system was last serviced or whether the bathroom reno was council-approved. By logging this information, you not only protect your investment but also build a digital “story” of your home that adds value when it’s time to sell.
Imagine being able to hand over your property with a single QR code that contains everything the new owner needs to know. It’s a small touch that makes a big difference.
Benefits for Investors
Property investors juggle multiple homes, tenants, and maintenance schedules. KYH makes portfolio management simple. All compliance certificates, tenancy agreements, and repair records can be centralised in the app, reducing risks and saving time.
As one Brisbane-based investor put it after trialling KYH: “Managing three properties used to mean chasing paperwork constantly. Now, everything is in my pocket, and handovers take minutes, not weeks.”
Benefits for Real Estate Agents
For agents, KYH is more than a tool — it’s a competitive edge. In a market where trust and transparency are critical, KYH helps agencies deliver both.
-
Speed up compliance with seller disclosure requirements.
-
Provide buyers with confidence through transparent property records.
-
Reduce admin time by eliminating the need to track down documents.
-
Differentiate your listings with an innovative, branded point of difference.
As Map Lawyers highlights, “Sellers must ensure all required information is accurate and provided in a timely manner, as failure to comply can render the contract voidable.” (Map Lawyers, 2024). With KYH, that process becomes streamlined, error-free, and stress-free.
The Future of Property Management
The shift towards digital property records isn’t just a passing trend — it’s the future of real estate. Globally, consumers expect instant access to information, and the property market is no different.
Just as we’ve embraced digital wallets, online banking, and smart home technology, tools like KYH represent the next leap forward. They empower homeowners to manage their properties smarter, investors to stay on top of compliance, and agents to deliver a smoother, more professional service.
Or, as we like to put it: Know Your Home is more than just the keys — it’s the story of your property, in your hands.
Conclusion
In today’s property market, information is everything. The new QLD seller disclosure laws are proof that the industry is moving towards more transparency, accountability, and professionalism. Know Your Home isn’t just keeping up with these changes — it’s leading the way.
Whether you’re a homeowner looking to safeguard your investment, an investor managing multiple properties, or a real estate agent aiming to deliver standout service, KYH is the tool that makes it all possible.
