Your property restoration professional sent you an invite from iink—why? In short, it’s because they want to help get your property restored more efficiently as soon as possible so they’ve enlisted iink’s help to get there. Read on for more information.

What The Traditional Claims Process Looks Like

Getting paid on property claims can be a hassle. When a property gets damaged due to a storm, the property owner needs to file an insurance claim in order to get the funds to pay the contractor to start repairs.

As you can imagine, this process often results in restoration professionals waiting weeks or even months before they can collect down payments to order materials and commence restoration. Furthermore, the extended waiting period can lead to issues with trust, communication, and insight into the status of the check.

Why Property Restoration Professionals Choose iink

Due to the digital automation iink provides, contractors can speed up the claims payment process and remove most of the hassles for themselves and property owners. Let’s be honest—the quicker the job gets done the better it is for everyone.

If you’ve ever dealt with mortgage companies, you know it can be a hassle getting what you’re owed. Oftentimes, this means contractors have to spend hours on the phone speaking with mortgage companies. With iink Pro, contractors can finally streamline the submission, tracking, and release of claim check funds from the mortgage company.

Momnt Financing

This is for property owners who don’t get the full amount they need from their insurance payouts to cover the full restoration and upgrades. Sometimes they don’t have enough money to cover the deductible, which can reach as high as 2% of the appraised value of each insured property. Through our partnership with Momnt, we’re able to offer qualifying property owners three primary property financing options related to insurable losses.

1. Deductible Financing. Financing on deductibles is as low as $3100.00.

2. RCV Gap Financing. Unsecured financing to help cover full replacement costs of property damage. Six months of deferred interest is available in some cases.

3. Retail Upgrade Financing. Property owner interested in adding skylights? Hardwood floors? Some other kind of upgrade? This financing option covers those jobs.
