I got tired of the hype. So I built HomeCode.

Real estate loves a shiny object. New AI tools, CRMs, dashboards, and platforms launch faster than anyone can keep up — and somewhere between the demo and the sales pitch, the only question that matters gets lost: does this actually help agents do more business, serve clients better, or buy back time? That's the question I built HomeCode Reviews to answer.

01 Why I Built It

The question nobody was answering

I've spent my career on both sides of this — building brokerages, running teams, and sitting through more product demos than I can count. And I kept noticing the same thing. Every tool sounds incredible in the demo. Every founder has a deck. Every expo hall is full of people looking for a way to pitch you. But almost nobody was doing the unglamorous work of asking the honest question afterward: did it actually work? Not "is it innovative." Not "did it raise a round." Did it help a real agent do more business, serve clients better, or buy back time?

So I built the thing I wished existed. HomeCode Reviews is my platform for trusted, real-world reviews of the property technology agents actually use — breaking down features, usability, and true ROI, from lead generation to transaction management, so agents and teams can invest with confidence instead of hype.

Alongside the reviews, my Insider Brief shares candid takes on where the tech — and the industry — are really headed.

“It's the same honesty I bring to the stage. It's why founders trust me to ask the hard questions, and why audiences trust me to call it straight.”

What I do on stage, I do at HomeCode

On stage I hook founders up to a polygraph, run proptech through an honesty test, and moderate the panels people actually talk about afterward. HomeCode is that same instinct, made permanent — a place where the hard question gets asked every week, not just once a year at a conference.

The Pitch Battle I host live at events now runs weekly on the site. The founders I interview on the main stage sit down for the long version there. It's one body of work: get the truth out, and make it useful.
