Problem
Home buyers, sellers, insurers, and other real‑estate participants lack a standardized, comparable measure of how a residential property actually performs in terms of health, comfort, operational efficiency, climate resilience, and energy use. Existing listings rely on photos, floor plans, and fragmented data sources, making it difficult to assess hidden costs, safety risks, and long‑term livability.
Solution
Pearl delivers Pearl SCORE™, a unified rating on a 1‑to‑1,000 scale that quantifies a home’s performance across five pillars: Safety, Comfort, Operations, Resilience, and Energy. The platform aggregates data from public records, utility bills, inspection reports, and on‑site assessments to generate a single, comparable score for every single‑family home in the United States. Buyers can view the score alongside listings to understand health hazards, indoor air quality, temperature stability, system efficiency, and climate‑adaptation features before committing to a purchase. Real‑estate professionals, lenders, and insurers can incorporate the score into their workflows to evaluate risk, price homes more accurately, and promote climate‑resilient housing. Homeowners also receive a performance framework to track improvements and reduce utility costs over time.
Target Audience
Primary users are homebuyers and real‑estate professionals (agents, lenders, insurers, appraisers) who need objective performance data to inform purchase decisions and risk assessments.
