For home buyers · Early access

The listing price is only the beginning.

See what a home may really cost to own and improve — what's known, what's estimated, and what's still unanswered — before you decide.

Free account required for new addresses. No payment needed. Nothing runs until you confirm on the next page.

How FairBeam reads a home

We show what sources say, separate estimates from unknowns, and make the next question actionable.

One home, from first look to years of ownership

  1. 1 · Before you offer

    Research

    Check a home for public facts, likely costs beyond the price, and the questions still worth asking.

  2. 2 · With your agent

    Decide together

    Share homes with the agent you invite, react, compare and talk through concerns in one place.

  3. 3 · After closing

    Own

    Keep the home's systems, documents, maintenance and improvements in a private Home Passport.

The true cost of a home

What the asking price doesn't tell you

Taxes, an aging roof, the kitchen you'd redo, the systems nobody mentioned. FairBeam helps you see which costs are known, which are estimates, and which are still unanswered — so you know what to ask before you commit.

  • How old are the roof, heating and water heater?
  • What might the changes I want realistically cost?
  • What has the listing left out?

Free Quick Check

Available now with a free account. Shows public information about one home, the assumptions behind any estimate, and the questions still open.

A one-time $20 pack of four household-shared analyses with sources, fit and evidence gaps. Not yet available to purchase.

Compare and Make It Mine

Line up homes side by side and model the changes you'd make with planning-level estimates and contingency — not contractor quotes.

For real estate agents

A better-informed buyer is better for everyone.

FairBeam gives you and your clients a shared workspace around the homes they're actually considering — so the conversation starts from the same facts and the same open questions.

Create a free agent account

Choose “Real Estate Agent” when you sign up. Buyers stay in control: you invite, they accept.

  • Invite clients

    Send an invitation; you see their workspace only after they accept.

  • Share homes

    Add homes to a client's shortlist for them to review.

  • See reactions

    Know which homes your clients love, question or pass on.

  • Discuss concerns

    Message about a specific home and its open questions.

Home Passport · After closing

The home you're buying becomes the home you own.

Keep what you learned instead of losing it in a closing folder: systems, maintenance tasks, documents and improvements, in one private record you can rely on — and hand over when you sell. Free with an account, whether you just bought or have owned for years.

Questions, answered honestly

Which homes can FairBeam look at?

Homes in the United States, entered by address or listing link. Public information varies by property; when we can't confirm something, we say it's unknown rather than guess.

How accurate is it?

Treat everything as a planning starting point. Facts link to sources where possible, costs are estimates with assumptions shown, and verified comparable sales are currently unavailable. Verify anything important with a licensed professional.

What does it cost?

Quick Check is free. A free account is required for new homes; already-saved public Quick Checks can be viewed without an account. Deep Analysis is $20 for 4 Deep Analyses shared with your household, as a one-time purchase with no subscription or automatic renewal. Not yet available to buy.

Do I need an account?

Yes — a free account. It lets you run Quick Checks, save homes, compare them, use Make It Mine, work with your agent, or keep a Home Passport.

Does FairBeam read my inspection or disclosure documents?

You can store documents privately and use Document Intelligence to organize source-linked information from supported uploads. Extraction can miss or misread details; it is not an inspection or legal interpretation. Have a qualified professional review the originals.

What FairBeam doesn't do

It doesn't inspect homes, give legal, lending or appraisal advice, provide contractor quotes, or guarantee prices or savings.
