PRE-SEED Swipe-native home search · USA

Every home,
one swipe away.

Buying a home still takes ten weeks and forty-seven tabs. NestSwipe replaces them with a thirty-second taste quiz and a deck that learns from every swipe, then routes each tour straight to the brokerage closing the deal.

The problem

The funnel is broken.

Buyers spend weeks inside desktop portals wrapped in an app. Agents fight over the same recycled leads. The best homes sit in group chats, never reaching a screen.

10 wks

Median time a U.S. buyer spends searching online.

<3%

Of visitors to the major home-search sites ever transact through them.

$223

Average portal lead cost, paid up front whether or not anyone closes.

How it works

From Sunday-night swipe to signed offer.

Discover

A thirty-second visual taste quiz: kitchens, light, architecture. No twenty-four-field filter form.

Swipe

A deck that re-tunes itself with every left and right, at sixty frames a second.

Match

Right-swipes become saved homes with a match score and a plain-English reason you would love it.

Tour

Tap to request a tour, routed directly to the listing brokerage.

Close

Offer, contracts and closing handled by the partner agent, inside the app.

The brokerage only ever sees buyers who have already qualified themselves through fifty or more swipes.

Why now
August 2024

The commission model broke.

The NAR settlement put the buyer-side commission, a pool of tens of billions a year, up for competition on value rather than default.

The buyer changed

The first-time buyer lives on a phone.

Millennials are the largest buyer cohort and expect consumer-grade UX. Every major portal is still a desktop site in a wrapper.

AI-native

Taste became computable.

Modern embedding models read light, materials and style from a handful of swipes. That was not possible at consumer scale in 2019.

Unfair advantage

Every swipe is a labelled signal.

Taste, price, geography and style feed a personalisation model that no MLS clone can match.

The model

Paid when buyers close, not when they download.

25–35%

Closing referral. A share of the buyer-side commission on NestSwipe-sourced transactions, paid by the brokerage at close.

$499

Brokerage SaaS. Per partner office a month: dashboard, lead routing, agent app and analytics.

$14

Buyer Pro. A month for off-market listings, instant alerts and AI tour-prep briefings.

Market: about 4.06M U.S. existing-home sales a year, a $414k median price and a 5.44% average total commission (NAR 2025; Redfin Q2 2025).

Go-to-market

Land four metros. Win each one.

First
Austin

Launch city, then Nashville, Phoenix and Raleigh: high concentrations of millennial buyers and mid-size MLSs that make integration tractable.
