Products that do what Hown – Message Any Homeowner and Buy and Sell Off-Market does

Hi HN! A few years ago, I had a tough time buying a home in a competitive market where listings were scarce. I kept wondering—why isn’t there a simple way to contact a homeowner directly to ask if they’re interested in selling? So a friend and I built Hown, an app that lets buyers message any homeowner, creating a way to buy and sell houses outside the real estate market (sorry, US only for now). The app is for: -Homeowners who might be open to selling but aren’t ready to list. -Buyers who want to express interest in homes before they hit the market. -House enthusiasts who just enjoy…

    Hi HN! At Open Listings, we build technology to make buying a house simpler and more affordable. Ultimately, we want to make buying a house as simple as clicking a button. Our core technology is really our transaction process. While we also provide some shopping tools for house hunters, we recognize that people don’t just use 1 site when they’re searching for a home. In the spirit of supporting our clients even if they’er shopping on other sites, we made a “buy button” that we hope will work anywhere. When you click, it looks for address and MLS# on your current page and fills them in on our…

    We're a small team of 3 engineers, and wanted to make a better way to look for for properties online. Traditional portals (esp. outside of US) are just a bit rubbish for doing anything other than basic searching. So we've: - Created a crawler that reads through estate agents websites to find homes for sale - Parses that through a series of LLMs and other models to understand each home in depth (e.g. floor type, location, total sqft) - Parses every photo through an embeddings vector space so that people can search for whatever they want.

    Hey HN, My site http://RealtyPerks.com, just went live a few days ago and I have always sifted through HN admiring and gaining advice from everyone out there, so I thought I would show my start up, and would love any feedback from the HN community. It's far from done but it gets the message across. We have been establishing relationships with Realtors on the northeast and are gearing up to start Rewarding some new homeowners. Real Estate isn't sexy, and is hardly ever attacked my entrepreneurs, even though its a 60 Billion dollar market. Although recently sites like 42floors have come up and…
