DwellWell

Hey PH! I’m Sam Carow, Cofounder & CTO of DwellWell (https://dwellwell.com). We launched our homebuying app to PH last year and it was great (https://www.producthunt.com/post...), so we’re pumped to announce our new Homebuying Community feature! The DwellWell Community was built so your home buying questions can be answered by peers and experts alike. You can post crazy home listings, ask about those cracks in your walls that make you nervous, or post your super-specific home buying situation. Your questions will be answered by other home buyers, the DwellWell staff, and real estate experts! The best part is that you can remain totally anonymous, so you won’t have to worry about getting spammed by brokers. The inspiration for our DwellWell Community came from the 5 years I spent as an engineer at Reddit. I know how valuable community can be, especially for millennials, who are the first generation that use internet communities to shape their opinions and behaviors. We found that most people had no clue what they were doing when it came to buying a house, but they did trust their peer network when asking for advice. We thought – why just rely on your peers when we could also bring experts into the mix? Now there’s a space for you to ask whatever you want, whenever you want. The team and I will be around all day, so please post your comments, questions, and feedback (either here or on our DwellWell Community at https://community.dwellwell.com)! 👋 We’re looking forward to chatting!

The idea for DwellWell came about when I was looking to buy a home and realized how woefully uninformed I was. The standard approach to overcome this information gap seemed outdated (relying on parents who hadn’t bought a home in decades) or overbearing (connecting with an agent before I was ready). We’re so excited to introduce our purpose-built community that allows you to get informed without getting bombarded by cold-calls. Enjoy!

What better way to connect with other homebuyers than this. Can’t think of another community like it. So much hard work and planning! Personally my favorite part of this new feature is the ability to comment on Zillow/Redfin listings, definitely going to share some opinions on those. Looking forward to seeing all the great questions being asked AND answered 🙌🏻

DwellWell is a total game changer! Initially the home buying process seemed very scary and intimidating but after using the most basic functions on DwellWell I feel much more secure in taking my next step in the home buying process. In addition their new feature allows you to get other people's experience as well so you're not alone!

DwellWell has given me so much peace of mind in the home buying process! It demystifies the whole process from end to end and helps me feel like I have some control over my experience and decision making. Excited this community is here to broaden the support even further!

Have just started thinking about what it would take the buy a home and it was awesome to go through the initial steps via Dwellwell and have the whole process laid out for us. Super excited to have the community section as well now to be able to read other people's experiences and ask questions!

I’m so excited this feature went live! For those who don’t have parents or friends to turn to when purchasing their first home it can be overwhelming and scary. This community changes that! Any questions, broad or hyper specific, will be answered by industry pros, DwellWell peers, and other home buyers to help even the playing field. This ensures that buyers feel confident throughout their home buying journey and can avoid any costly mistakes!
