In a world where digital footprints are becoming essential to every aspect of life, your property’s story should be no exception.
From the moment you purchase your home to every renovation, repair, and document update, there’s a story being written — and that story holds value. With the property market becoming more competitive and compliance regulations tightening, especially in regions like Queensland, documenting and sharing the full narrative of a home is no longer just nice-to-have; it’s necessary.
Traditionally, a property’s story was passed down in fragments — receipts tucked into drawers, warranties lost in folders, or verbal accounts of improvements made. But now, modern homeowners and real estate professionals are turning to digital solutions like Know Your Home, a smart app that acts as a logbook for your property’s past, present, and future.
Why Does Your Property’s Story Matter?
When buyers look at a home, they see more than the walls and floors — they see potential, history, and value. A digitally preserved story adds a layer of transparency and trust. According to research by realestate.com.au, buyers are more likely to pay a premium for homes with clear documentation and evidence of upkeep or improvement.
With the upcoming Seller Disclosure Regime in Queensland effective August 2025, sellers are now legally required to provide detailed information about their properties. This includes renovation history, compliance with building codes, and even pool safety certifications. With stakes this high, apps like Know Your Home become essential tools for both buyers and sellers.
What Should Be Logged Digitally?
Your digital property log should include:
- Renovation records
- Appliance manuals and warranties
- Maintenance schedules
- Certificates of compliance
- Floorplans and design updates
- Trade contact details
- Insurance documents
Digitally archiving these elements ensures you’re always ready for inspections, valuations, or the next big sale.
How Know Your Home Makes It Easy
The Know Your Home app allows homeowners to upload, categorize, and even share this critical information via a unique QR code. This means during an open house or final sale, agents can provide instant access to key information that helps seal the deal. Buyers feel reassured, and sellers are seen as transparent and trustworthy.
Even better? You can select what information you want to share. If you’re renting out a property, you can make manuals and safety documents available to tenants. If you’re selling, you can show improvements and certificates that support your asking price.
The Bottom Line
Digitally telling your property’s story isn’t just about aesthetics or bragging rights — it’s about building trust, adding value, and staying compliant. In a market where knowledge is power, Know Your Home ensures that you hold all the cards.
