The home buying process is tedious and difficult to understand. Homy makes it easy to follow with relevant information, vendor/home comparison, cost prediction and an AI chat which knows where you are at in the journey when giving you advice.

Hello Product Hunt Community 👋🙂 My name is Deon and I love building cool stuff to help people! I recently bought my first home a few months ago and was surprised with how antiquated the process felt and how the real estate industry thrived on people not fully understanding it. Many people dream of owning a home but this is becoming harder than ever to attain with home prices and interest rates at all-time highs. There are also powerful groups such as the National Association of Realtors trying to maintain the status quo at the cost of home owners (They just settled a major lawsuit on March 15 regarding inflated buyer agent commissions) and mortgage lenders who take advantage of people for not understanding high and/or hidden fees. I felt compelled to build something to help. This is how Homy was born, it is a mobile app which aims to empower home buyers with the information and tools they need during every phase of their home buying journey. 🏠♥️ Key Features: 🗺️ Important info for each phase of the process 🗺️ Local Vendors with ratings 🗺️ Expected Cost transparency 🏡 Home rating system 💰 Mortgage lender comparison 📝 Document organization ✨ AI assistant with document analysis 🥚 Perhaps an easter egg I would love to get some feedback on what could be improved 😊 P.S. This is published on the Apple App Store but Google now requires 20 testers to publish to Google Play so if anyone has an Android phone and would be willing to test it out please send me an email at dpills@protonmail.com and I will grant you access.

@vit_aver The best way to see what I mean is to go give it a try 😉 but for example this information is in the Pre-Approval phase with hyperlinks to articles expanding on the information and a way to track the lenders who you have a mortgage pre-approval from. A mortgage Pre-Approval is a written verification that you qualify for a mortgage based on your credit score, employment, income and tax information. You will still need a final approval after your offer on a home has been accepted. Most home sellers will require this prior to allowing home tours and offers so they know you are a serious buyer who can afford their home. Note: A Pre-Qualification is different than a Pre-Approval. It is just an estimate of what you could qualify for based on limited and unverified information.

@dpills hey i loved the idea , how can i contribute to the codebade . i am a full stack developer currently in my second year .

Deon, congratulations on launching! I've been going through the process and one such app would have made it easier. The 'AHA' moment was when I learned how to look for hidden issues of the property. That made negotiation simpler and turned the balance a bit. Think about it ... if you can integrate such tips and if it would benefit others as well. Best of luck!

@andreiciulinaru Thanks! and I agree, I did not come across an app like this myself when going through the process so figured I should build it. Yep agreed, I found while touring homes I would get them mixed up and not always remember which things to check. That is why I included information on a lot of the important items to check for a home in the Home details page with the Home Tour Ratings, it reminds you what to check and gives a simple smiley rating system to compare different homes and make it quick and easy to track if you are on a home tour. 🙂

Congrats on the launch Deon, best of luck today ❤️🦄

@orchyan Thanks! 😊
