It is always exciting to see an individual who is doing the work and facing the problems, step back and create solutions. Trust, transparency and better outcomes are the next big changes in real estate. HomeSifter created by Patrick Neely, takes a different approach to searching for a home. This search helps you create a search based on what you want or need your monthly mortgage payment to be. It factors in interest rates, insurance, taxes, HOA fees and more while working to find the home that meets what you need in a home.

Would you like to search starting with a monthly payment in mind? We love bringing practical changes to the real estate market that saves the consumer time and money. Together, we can all create better outcomes in a changing market.

See what Patrick has to say:

When I launched HomeSifter, I wasn’t chasing trends—I was solving a problem that wouldn’t leave me alone. 🛠️

I was the one clients turned to with questions like:
“Can I actually afford this home?”
“Why did this lender reject me after I found the perfect place?”
“Why does my agent keep sending listings I can’t qualify for?”

I realized we were all reacting instead of leading. So I built a tool to change that.

HomeSifter lets agents, lenders, and buyers work from the same financial reality, right from the start.

✅ No mismatched listings
✅ No time-wasting recalculations
✅ No false hope—just clarity

This was never about tech for tech’s sake. It was about trust, transparency, and better outcomes.

Question for you: ➡️ What’s one problem in your business you just couldn’t ignore—and what did you do about it?
