Buyer research. Editorial independence.
Our published research and buyer tools are free. We are testing whether local evidence and home comparisons help people understand their options and make buying decisions.
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.
How we plan to support the work
We are exploring compensated realtor introductions and clearly labeled sponsorships to support our research and tools. No compensated introduction program is active.
Your choice comes first
Reading, signing in, saving work or subscribing does not enroll you in agent follow-up. An introduction requires a separate request. We are building the partner network, so we cannot promise a match. Before sharing, we will identify the realtor and brokerage, explain any compensation relationship, show the details proposed for that introduction, and ask for your approval. Your private comparison and account library are not part of an introduction request.
For potential partners
Meet buyers who have clarified their options and want local help taking the next step. We are preparing a small unpaid pilot with manually reviewed matches. Its purpose is to learn whether buyers and agents actually have useful conversations.
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. We will review the operating roles, licensing, payment terms and required disclosures before beginning any paid arrangement. This page does not offer paid leads or promise referral fees.
