Listing sites help you find a home.Your agent helps you buy it.BuyerPilot helps you think through the decision.
BuyerPilot doesn’t replace your agent, lender, inspector or appraisal. It gives you one place to organize what they tell you, what the listing claims, what you still don’t know, and what matters to your own buying criteria.
Listing claims, your Buyer Profile, true ownership cost, unknowns, questions, showing observations, inspection findings and comparison — together, that’s decision context. The same house can make sense for one buyer and not for another.
Catch the questions you didn't know to ask.
Unknown means unknown — never a judgement about the home. BuyerPilot simply shows you what has not been recorded yet, and who can answer it.
Roof age
UNKNOWNWhen was the roof last replaced, and is documentation available?
Why this matters: The home was built in 1950 and no roof replacement date appears in the recorded information. Replacement timing could materially affect ownership cost.
Annual property taxes
UNKNOWNWhat were the property taxes billed for the most recent year?
Why this matters: No annual tax figure was found in the recorded information, so it is currently excluded from the ownership estimate rather than assumed.
HVAC age and service history
UNKNOWNHow old are the heating and cooling systems, and has service been documented?
Why this matters: No installation or service dates appear in the recorded information for either system.
Interior square footage
LISTING CLAIMWhat is the source of the stated interior square footage?
Why this matters: Square footage is recorded as a listing claim. It has not been confirmed against an appraisal, plan or measurement.
Example interface with sample data — not a real listing, quote or appraisal.
Not a generic home score.A decision based on you.
Missing information is never counted as a failure. BuyerPilot separates how well a home fits you from how confident the underlying information is.

Questions buyers ask us
What is BuyerPilot?
BuyerPilot is decision support for people buying a home in the United States. You bring a home you found anywhere; BuyerPilot organizes what the listing states, checks it against your Buyer Profile, shows what is still unknown and tells you what to do next.
Is BuyerPilot free to use?
Yes. The free plan gives you the complete toolkit on one saved home, with no card required. Paid plans exist for buyers who have several homes in play at once.
Does BuyerPilot tell me what a house is worth?
No. It does not value homes and does not tell you what to offer. It organizes recorded information, separates claims from confirmed facts, and estimates ownership cost from the assumptions you enter.
What should I check when viewing a house?
BuyerPilot includes a 102-point showing system covering exterior, interior, systems, water signs, storage and neighborhood, so you tour every home with the same checks instead of relying on memory.
How does BuyerPilot compare homes?
Shortlisted homes are placed on the same decision framework — cost, Buyer Match, open unknowns and data confidence — so a home does not look better simply because you know less about it.
Does BuyerPilot replace a home inspector or real estate professional?
No. BuyerPilot is educational and organizational only. It does not inspect, appraise, lend or advise. It helps you arrive prepared to the professionals you hire.
