   Yarlow is like CarFAX, but about your house!We believe in transparency in real estate transactions so sellers don\'t leave money on the table and buyers understand what they are getting.Yarlow is a free app available on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store that let\'s you track receipts, appliances and warranty information. Get custom maintenance alerts based on your home features and geographical location. When you are ready to sell, you can use the Yarlow For Sale Report that summarizes all of the work you have done to your house and helps it sell for 1-10% higher than homes without maintenance records.Your Privacy matters!
