Real Estate Buddy

Real Estate Buddy gives you superpowers to help you find your dream home.

It calculates future mortgage repayments in your browser while looking at properties for sale on realestate.com.au , domain.com.au, zillow.com or trulia.com .

It gives you more insights on the properties for sale in your area and gives you more confidence to buy a property that fits your current financial situation.

🔒 What happens to my data?

Nothing. Your data is stored in your browser. I don’t have access to it. It is NOT backed up anywhere else. If you uninstall the extension, your data will be automatically deleted from your browser. All the calculations are made in your browser and are never sent to a third party.

💰 Is there a paid version of the extension with better features?

Not at this stage. If the extension proves to be useful, I may roll out a paid version with enhanced features. At the moment, there is no website, no support besides myself on Twitter and no product to upsell you. It is entirely free.
