Early buyer feedback

The shortlist gets clearer when you can see the commute.

“We shortlisted homes twice as fast once we could see commute time baked into every listing. HomeHelper quickly became part of our nightly search routine.”

Priya, relocating to Seattle

“My partner and I both have hybrid schedules. HomeHelper made it obvious which houses would not work before we booked a showing.”

Marcus, Chicago homebuyer

Questions before launch

What shoppers need to know.

Do I need the Chrome extension?

No. The extension is handy while browsing Zillow, but the web app works from any browser — on your computer or phone.

Can I track more than my work commute?

Yes. Add school, childcare, relatives, gyms, errands, airports, or any destination that changes whether a home fits.

What happens after my free lookups?

You can keep your account and destinations, then upgrade to Plus when you need more property comparisons.

Can I cancel Plus?

Yes. Billing is managed through Stripe, and subscriptions can be cancelled from the customer portal.
