How it works

Three steps from packet to shareable report

ScoutReport moves from your library to ScoutScore review to a secure share link. Each step is a stylized preview of the product.

The easy path

Built for your household, this packet, this contingency

Generic condo summaries treat every household the same. ScoutReport starts with your buyer profile so pet, rental, parking, and lifestyle clashes show up first - plus a ScoutScore 0-100 risk read on the packet - then you verify and share that version in one flow.

Compared to Eli Report, that is the StreetScout bet: ScoutScore, household personalization, and share speed for US HOA and condo deals - so you know whether THIS packet works for YOUR household before contingencies are waived.

  • Household profile first: alerts match how you live, not a one-size building summary.
  • ScoutScore: one 0-100 composite risk rating from the packet so you know where to dig first.
  • Easy to verify: click a personal flag, jump to the source page, ask "can I rent this?".
  • Sharing stays personal: one read-only or partner link, same cited report, no login chase.
  • Large 200 to 400 page stacks typically finish in up to about 120 minutes, and usually much less - so personalization still lands inside a short contingency window.
  • Simple money story: free preview, then $49 unlock. No subscription required for one deal.

Common questions

Straight answers for buyers

Why choose ScoutReport compared to Eli Report?
Eli summarizes the building. ScoutReport asks whether this packet works for how you live. You get a score, flags you can click back to the page, and a link your agent can open without an account. Preview is free. The full report is $49.
What is ScoutScore?
A 0-100 read on the packet you uploaded. Higher is calmer. It uses what the documents actually disclose: reserves, assessments, litigation, insurance, fees, and similar flags. Alerts about pets or rentals sit beside it. They do not change the score.
How does ScoutReport personalize the report?
You set how you, or this buyer, plan to live: pets, vehicles, rentals, renovations, and what matters most. ScoutReport still extracts assessments, lawsuits, and reserves from every packet, and ScoutScore stays a building-health read. The profile maps onto those findings so matching rules rank first, with a Personalized for You section and a page number on each clash.
Can ScoutReport put the review deadline on the report?
On a completed ScoutReport, you or your agent can set the resale review window from when the packet was delivered. The countdown shows on the report and the share link. You both get email reminders at 48 hours, 24 hours, and when the window ends. The exact deadline is still in your contract. The free preview does not start a countdown until a completed report has a window set.
Is ScoutReport legal advice?
No. ScoutReport is a research and document-organization tool. It does not replace an attorney, inspector, or reading the full packet. Always verify material issues with qualified professionals.
What if the packet is scanned or handwritten?
ScoutReport reads typed PDF text and OCRs image-only pages. That includes handwritten bylaws, CC&Rs, meeting minutes, and other exhibits that roll into a resale package. Quality flags still call out gaps so you know what to verify against the source.
How much does ScoutReport cost for buyers?
Preview is free. Unlock the full report once for $49. No subscription for a single deal.
How long does a 200 to 400 page package take?
Most packets that size come back in under two hours, often sooner. Giant scans can run longer. A 300-plus page package we ran on Eli Report took more than eight hours.
What makes the ScoutReport experience different?
Report on the left, PDF on the right. Click a citation and the packet jumps. Ask a question in plain English. Leave a note on the finding. Share that same version with one link.
Is ScoutReport for Canadian strata?
No. StreetScout covers US HOA and condo resale packets. Canadian strata is outside this product.
