HomiQ Verification Standards & Quality Protocol

Because we make strong verification claims on our marketplace, we believe in complete transparency about what our on-site verification guarantees, how inspections are conducted, and where legal boundaries lie.

Audit Timelines

Verification Timeline & Freshness Policy

How listings are audited from the moment of submission to ongoing 30-day lifecycle checks.

Submission & Document Review

Landlord uploads property photos, price, address, and ownership document. Our digital verification team verifies IDs within 4 hours.

Physical On-Site Inspection

A certified HomiQ field inspector conducts an in-person visit within 24 – 48 business hours to audit layout, amenities, and take geotagged photos.

30-Day Freshness Re-check

Every listing is valid for 30 days. If the landlord does not confirm vacancy and active status, the listing is automatically unlisted to prevent dead inventory.

What Do HomiQ Badges Mean?

Every badge on our cards represents verified ground proof, not a paid marketing upgrade.
