Hey Product Hunt! We built Huthunt to help apartment hunters find their next apartments, and connect with potential roommates all on one social, easy to use platform.
A few quick things to note:
*There are a variety of different paths to finding a place to call home (specifically in a place like NYC and other urban cities) so we’ve built a product that supports users through their search process regardless of their path.
-We support users who have an extra room in their apartment and want to find a roommate to occupy it
-We support users who are simply looking for a new place to call home for themselves
-We also support users who are looking for an apartment, and a roommate to occupy it with
*We offer a “Genie” service (currently 100% free) that matches our users with a real human who works tirelessly to make every one of their wishes our command. We complete their entire search by finding an apartment that matches their preferences, allow them to approve any listings they like, and set up viewing appointments for them. Best of all, there are never any broker fees related to any apartments we suggest.
*We make the process of finding an apartment and roommate social. We use a personality algorithm to help you find the best possible match, allow you to get to know all potential roommates via chat on our platform before you have an in person meet up, and have a lot of different social features on our roadmap for the very near future.
*Our UI is extremely easy to use, and the Tinder-like interface allows us to simplify an otherwise complicated and time consuming process. You right swipe listings you’re interested in to move them to your favorites, and can communicate with the property manager directly via phone, or email from your favorites screen. You get notifications if any of the listings you’ve liked are no longer available, or if any of the details change at any point. (most notably price)
If you have any comments or issues, don’t hesitate to reach out to me at Shawn@huthunt.com . Any feedback is always appreciated!
