HomeFinder — For Buyers

The home search tool
that works for you,
not the seller.

Every major real estate portal serves both buyers and sellers. That means they will never tell you when a listing is overpriced, when a seller is desperate, or what opening offer to make. HomeFinder will.

Zillow works for Zillow.
HomeFinder works for you.

When you search for homes on Zillow or Realtor.com, you're using a platform that makes money from listing agents — not from you. That conflict of interest shapes every feature they build.

What the big portals do
Hide price reduction history to protect sellers
Show "Zestimate" as authoritative — it benefits agents, not buyers
Never tell you a house has been sitting for 120 days
No negotiation advice — ever
Score every house as desirable to maximize clicks
What HomeFinder does
Shows full price history and every price reduction
Scores listings on your priorities — 17 factors you control
Flags motivated sellers: high days-on-market, repeated price cuts
AI suggests a specific opening offer with reasoning
Tells you honestly when a listing is a pass

Six tools no other
search portal offers.

01
17-Factor Scoring

Every listing is scored across price, size, yard, flood risk, walkability, proximity to hospitals, HOA costs, and more. You set how much each factor matters. Change a slider and every score updates instantly.

02
AI Deal Analyst

One click gets you a buyer's-agent-style analysis of any listing: concrete strengths, real concerns, negotiation strategy, and a specific dollar amount to open with.

03
Portfolio Comparison

Star your favorites, then ask for a big-picture comparison. The AI ranks them, finds patterns, flags red flags across the set, and picks a "dark horse" you may have undervalued.

04
Tour Planner

Check the houses you want to visit, hit one button, and Google Maps opens with a optimized multi-stop route ready to navigate — built for the day you're driving around with your phone.

05
Notes & Visit Tracking

Write private notes on any listing. Track whether you've visited, scheduled a visit, lost interest, or made an offer. Everything is saved to your account permanently.

06
Flood & Area Filters

Charleston's flood zone risk is real. HomeFinder checks every listing against FEMA data and lets you filter out flood-zone properties entirely. Define your target areas down to the zip code.


What a typical session looks like.

Saturday morning, coffee in hand.

You open HomeFinder and see 8 new listings since yesterday's fetch. Two are in West Ashley — your target area. You click the first one. It scores 71/100 on your preferences. The AI flags that it's been on the market 94 days with two price reductions, and suggests opening at $412,000 against the $449,000 ask. The second listing scores 83. No price changes, newer construction, above flood plain. You star both as favorites.

On your phone, you open the Tour Planner, check both addresses plus two from last week, and tap "Open in Google Maps." By noon you've walked through four houses. That evening you add notes to each — what you liked, what bothered you — and check "Visited." Next morning you hit Portfolio Analysis on your favorites. The AI tells you the 94-day listing is your best negotiating opportunity, and the 83-scorer is the one to move on quickly.
