The team
building this.

Every time I buy a home, I have the same feeling. Excitement followed by overwhelm.

There's so much to do and no system to do it. Right after you get the keys you stand in a house that you don't fully understand. There is no helpful guide other than your lived experience, skills, and network.

And of course, the constraints are everywhere. Limited budget, limited know-how, limited time. Plus the looming question on anything I repair: is this thing worth fixing, or am I burning budget on the wrong thing? I never really know, and I've definitely made the wrong calls.

I know I'm not alone. I spoke with hundreds of people while building Reyn. Homeowners have felt this, or still do, particularly in the early innings.

It gets worse when something actually breaks. Or when we need to find some part of the home's record. We want help, and for many of us it's tough to figure out who to ask. We resort to Googling the answer or winging it.

Reyn is meant to be that help. A system that actually knows a home, keeps the record, helps us figure out what to do next to make the most of the limited resources we have, and who to do it with.

The app is just the beginning. We're building the operating system for homeownership: every home with a living record, every owner with an expert in their corner, and the next generation starting from higher ground than we did. The trades who keep our homes standing are part of that vision too.

We're just getting started.
