Our business model

Free research. Reader-led introductions.

We are testing whether independent city research helps people decide where to buy. Our articles and monthly newsletter are free. We are exploring realtor partnerships to support that work.

Your choice comes first

Reading or subscribing never enrolls you in agent follow-up. You can separately request an email from our team about a possible introduction. We are building the partner network, so we cannot promise a match. We will ask you to approve a named realtor before sharing details.

Partnerships do not determine our findings

A partner cannot purchase a favorable city conclusion or suppress an opposing case. Any sponsored placement will be labeled next to the placement and identify the sponsor. We do not currently display paid placements or paid agent rankings.

For potential partners

We are interested in agents who can contribute local context, help readers investigate individual properties, and respect the reader's contact preferences. Agents must identify their brokerage and license, describe the cities they serve, and agree to the reader's approved scope of contact. Commercial arrangements will be established separately before paid activity begins.
