How to Add a Property

Step-by-step guide through the 5-step property wizard

The Add Property wizard guides you through a simple, five-step process to set up a new property in your iMaintain account. Once complete, your property will be ready for ongoing maintenance tracking, photo documentation, and intelligent insights from the iMaintain Copilot.

iMaintain works seamlessly on desktop and mobile devices, making it easy to add properties wherever you are. You can upload photos from your computer or use your mobile device's camera to capture images on the spot. iMaintain also uses AI photo analysis to interpret the images you provide—helping improve your initial setup and enhancing your Copilot's recommendations over time.

  1. Address – Locate and confirm the property's location
  2. Details – Review and customize basic property information
