Hown is a platform that lets users directly message any homeowner, creating a channel for buying and selling houses outside the traditional real estate market.
I had a miserable time buying a home in a very competitive market, where listings were scarce, and 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 by simply snapping a picture or searching for an address, 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 browsing and tracking the popularity of their home.
We launched recently. We’re still iterating, but curious to hear what Product Hunters think—does this seem useful? What would make it better? Really any thoughts would be appreciated! Also, happy to answer any questions.
