Share Estimates with Spouses

Big home projects require both decision-makers. Spouse sharing lets homeowners forward estimates to their partner with one click – and you see when they view it.

One-Click Sharing

Customer clicks “Share with Spouse.” Partner receives a magic link with full access to the Living Estimate.

Track Engagement

See when the spouse opens the estimate, which options they view, and how long they spend reviewing.

Both Can Sign

If both signatures are required, each party can sign digitally. No more waiting to get everyone in the same room.

Why This Matters

“I need to talk to my spouse” is one of the most common objections. Spouse sharing removes the friction – they can review the estimate together from anywhere, on their own time.

  • No more “I’ll have to show this to my partner”
  • Follow-up when you see both have viewed
  • Close deals faster with household buy-in
