Homesnap Rental & House Finder Reviews

by DeDar

I have contacted HomeSnap before about the erroneous info about our home and they tell me they cannot correct it, they use public records. Considering it was purchased in 2029 and listed on all public listings with the updated info, not sure why they can’t investigate and correct it. We have a finished basement that was finished back in 2019 when we purchased the home giving us 2 additional bedrooms and another bathroom but according to HomeSnap, these don’t exist. They existed on the multiple listing, is listed in the county website and Redfin, Realtor and Zillow all seem to have the correct info. My realtor said HomeSnap is the worst for correct info and not even use them. If you can’t provide the listing and the county website info for them to verify, what else can you do? They info is from 2015 and has changed and has sold years after the finished basement and additional rooms and square footage. They don’t seem to want to help you either. Don’t believe this is an accurate representation of homes for sale. Use other realty sites.

The good: I like the basic uncluttered layout of HomesnapRentalHouseFinder , photos are great to scroll through with maximum visibility on a smartphone. I like being able to communicate directly with my realtor and not triggering other realtors to call me like with Trulia.

Improvements needed: when a home is favorited it is hard to find again. There should be a button on the main screen to get back to favorites like layout of Trulia and Zillow. With Homesnap the list of favorites are buried in the settings menu a few layers deep. Not a good location for easy use.

HomesnapRentalHouseFinder needs more customizable options. I don’t want to see homes on my news feed that are way out of my price range or in another city or already sold. Found myself getting depressed looking at all the homes I had missed, couldn’t afford or in another area. It was like a 10:1 ratio of wrong homes/sold homes/different city to homes we were looking for.

The search feature sometimes didn’t find homes that were for sale in our area that I knew were still on the market because I called from the yard sign.

Overall I found myself using other apps to avoid these hassles but if they were addressed this is the best looking home app and I would use only this one.

We have been with Homesnap concierge for six months and our experience has lackluster. Paying almost $1000 per month to receive rental leads and poor support. Our rep Cassidy was very attentive initially but her attentiveness quickly dropped off after the first couple of months. Eventually it was difficult to even get Cassidy on the phone or get her to respond to emails. We later found out Cassidy was no longer our rep after multiple calls and emails and finally speaking with somebody at customer service. To our surprise we had a new rep who never contacted us to establish a line of communication. Do yourself a favor and pay much less to have someone to set up your Google presence. Having spent $6000 in the last six months we are likely not going to renew our contract with Homesnap.

Thought this was a heat solution but only caused more problems. Nothing is easy to understand and when you contact support they insist on speaking in the phone when all I do all day is talk on the phone making it difficult to make time to speak to someone, and even then it’s confusing! I have no control over incoming messages, how to delete leads that were improperly connected with you, inaccurate market information due to fluctuating markets, bad customer service who fail to explain things properly and good forbid you want to cancel it all not even the better business bureau can get that done for you because it requires a lengthy call to read you all of their policies and disclosures before they are even allowed to remove you from their service. So when you are ready for a nightmare, in Homesnap!

I initially signed up a year ago for a $99 trial. At the end of that year I was charged $599 on my credit card as I didn’t see the value of it because I’m not that active as an agent I called to see if I can get a refund it was impossible to get through to anyone. I submitted two support request over the course of a week and it took them nearly 7 days to respond. I also waited on hold on two separate occasions for over 20 minutes and finally abandon the call.

In complaining about the $599 charge they offered to refund $400 because that’s the walk up rate if you sign up as a new customer. It appears that Homesnap has taken a page out of the cable companies pricing models where they do a low teaser and then do an auto charge after a period of time. I wish they would simply charge what they’re going to charge and not play the game of promos and then charge their long-term clients more than the ones that are just trying it out.

Hi, I am a realtor in Austin and signed up for Homesnap IDX thinking it would be useful. I doubt I even got 1 lead from it…When I brought that up to them, they sent me a screenshot of my Grandma liking one of their posts. Fast forward, the year was up and the service auto renewed. The staff indicated that according to the terms of use, I agreed to a renewal and there was nothing I can do, I must pay $149 either way. I disputed the charge with my bank while I waited to resolve. Following that, I got another e-mail from them saying, “in the event that the charges are permanently reversed, your services will be canceled for non-payment and a balance due added to your READ account as you have agreed to reimburse Homesnap for all costs/fees incurred in any dispute. So, who knows, seems like they might try and bill me for some unknown amount of legal fees at this point. Working now to try and resolve the situation with Pugh losing more money.

HomesnapRentalHouseFinder seems to have the most up to date postings when comparing to other apps. The only thing is HomesnapRentalHouseFinder and website seem to be buggy and crashes frequently. Also, I noticed that a few features that are nice to have aren’t always accurate. For an example, the commute time when looking at a post is almost always incorrect. 5 minutes can sometimes make or break a house selection. One other tip I would recommend is showing houses within the last 3 days instead of just the postings for today and the week. This will help filter out postings especially in today’s market where houses are contingent within 48 hours of posting.

I love HomesnapRentalHouseFinder and actually used it consistently on a daily basis. The fact that HomesnapRentalHouseFinder shows homes that are available, under contract, contingent, coming soon, etc in real time is fabulous! Helps me make adjustments to what I am in the market for. However, for whatever reason, I can no longer view the school district a home is in. That was one of the things I absolutely loved about HomesnapRentalHouseFinder! Now, I have no idea what school district the home is in, and there’s no way to filter it either. Really unfortunate because it helped me sort through homes a lot faster if it wasn’t in the school district I desired. That’s the reason I gave it three stars because as a parent, making sure my child is in the same district while trying to find a house is absolutely important. But, I guess I’ll have to inconvenience myself and request a street listing from the school district and cross reference names. 1st world problems? Absolutely! But the reason for apps is to make things easier to navigate, not more difficult.

by Parealtoronthego

HomesnapRentalHouseFinder is our new standard of on-the-go mls. It’s almost perfect! It would be even better if it was easier to navigate through the more listing details - information section. There’s a lot of info in listings and it would be great if they can separate it with different headlines or something to make it more organized. For example the header for “utilities” is almost the same font and size as “electric service:” and the information in that subcategory. In situations where I need the information ready to read to our buyers, it takes a bit of scrolling and seems unprofessional. I try to have as much knowledge ready to go but you never know what questions you’ll be asked! Thanks!

by Taradise028

Great app. I find more houses here than on realtor or Zillow. I like seeing property lines. It would be nice to see upgrades such as linking houses to google street view. When signed into desktop version when you hover over a house the color dot correlating should change color or highlight so you know where on the map it is. I also have not found the feature that allows me to save my search so every time I go looking I have to redraw the area I’m searching in. An amazing upgrade and way that they could be different from any other app would be to allow people that have seen the houses to comment on them. To share what they like or didn’t like. Obviously people would have to behave and be professional or their comments would need to be reported. But so much time is wasted seeing houses that real estate agents make them look better than what they are and it just wastes everyone’s time.

by Hazelchic

Our realtor suggested for us to use HomesnapRentalHouseFinder while we are looking for a house to purchase, once I start using it I can’t stop using it, very user friendly and HomesnapRentalHouseFinder gives you more information on the houses that you are interested . My favorite part of HomesnapRentalHouseFinder is it’s very accurate and it gives you a map of the surroundings of the house that you are looking for and actually gives you all the houses that are for sale, sold, contingent and under contract. I definitely recommend HomesnapRentalHouseFinder especially when you are planning to buy a house! It will save you a lot of time!

There isn’t any way that I can possibly convey the amount of gratitude I have for the agent ( Christopher Batten ),who took it upon hisself to help me during this most difficult time of my life. Having been a renter for such a long time I never considered the idea of buying until I was unexpectedly faced with a notice to vacate after being in the same residence for 21+ years. Christopher worked tirelessly for more than 3 months to find us suitable as well as affordable housing which wasn’t an easy task. I have to say that I truly don’t know how we would have made it through this most terrifying and seemingly impossible time without him. Rarely anymore in life do we come across anyone who genuinely cares but I’m so very happy to say that I have come across such a person in Christopher Batten. Christopher, you deserve all the good that life has to offer, thank you from the very bottom of my heart.

I find HomesnapRentalHouseFinder to be a great tool for me when I’m on the move. I’m a realtor and I use it to find and share homes of interest. The handy tools built in are extremely helpful. Especially when someone is trying to communicate to me a home they saw but can’t remember an address. The snap tool makes all the difference they can take a photo get the information on the home and forward it on to me. The searching and filtering is also excellent, and in the current version I can set an area by commute distance from addresses I set. I can identify schools and their districts and where homes are located according to school districts. With filters I can identify the type of home I am searching for, number of bedrooms, and price. Most of all the information is accurate and always up to date with actual MLS that Realtors®️ use. So no calling on a listing that may or may not be available. The list goes on and I’m still learning all it can do but I love it.

We just purchased a wonderful riverfront condo in our hometown. Karen Etheridge with Sun Realty was and will always be our agent. She is a native of the area and she absolutely loves helping you buy or sell property. It’s her passion. Her vast expertise is phenomenal. If we experienced any “hiccups” they were not because of Karen, but one call to Karen and ALL was well with the world. We live is one of the most beautiful places in the USA, full of history, beautiful and scenic landscapes and friendly folks. Karen has her fingers on the “pulse” of the real estate market and can make ALL you dreams come true. So, come enjoy coastal North Carolina with us and let Karen Etheridge smoothly, quickly and expertly find that special property for you. She is “simply the BEST”!

Agents always seem to be impressed when I say I use HomesnapRentalHouseFinder, but searching for properties on Homesnap is not only super easy and useful -- it's actually something fun that I look forward to every day. I love being connected to my own agent through HomesnapRentalHouseFinder so we can keep our conversations all in one place, and knowing that I'm able to see the same up-to-date information that she sees is a HUGE benefit. Other sites like Zillow and Redfin have a lot of out-of-date listings and unhelpful points of contact, which is frustrating and discouraging -- especially in a competitive market. Even when we do find our dream house, I don't think looking around at what's new on Homesnap will stop being part of my day-to-day! I love HomesnapRentalHouseFinder!

Kudos to Homesnap because you can easily navigate on their website without having to fill out personal information every time you want to review a property.
Also, this is the only real estate website I’ve come across that allows you to see a minimum of 15 to 50 pics of all types of properties. It gives one a very good idea of the shape and space of various homesites and whether or not you want to take the time to go in person to check out the property further.
Living in a time where everyone is moving at warp speed, it’s invaluable to get the information you want without having to give up precious time away from you life.
Thank you Homesnap for making it easy to review what I and others want to see when we click on your website. 😊Well done!

HomesnapRentalHouseFinder is my favorite! Regardless of your realtor, investor, or a buyer. HomesnapRentalHouseFinder he is a wonderful tool to handle your real estate needs. I will call it the “iPhone” of apps it is so easy and user-friendly. No stumbling about through a learning curve like other apps. Trying to figure how to use all the tools. Which on HomesnapRentalHouseFinder is easily laid out. My clients simplyShare their desired property through HomesnapRentalHouseFinder . I open the link and within seconds, we have an appointment to show! Some features I would love to see you in the next update, land contract search option, FSBO, a shopping cart for showing request. To better assist with showing scheduling on multiple properties for multiple clients. This currently is something you can only do through the MLS, Showingtime on your laptop.

Outstanding home sale experience! Effective initial planning/strategy resulted in an mutually agreeable, aggressive sales price. Thorough, tasteful property exposure using all current tools assured a number of interested buyers the day of listing. Within 48 hours a reasonable offer was forwarded, but not immediately answered. Later the same day another interested couple offered full asking price to assure the purchase. Within 10 days all requests/obligations (including inspections and loan approval) were met by buyer and seller resulting in a smooth closing. Scot was prepared for all steps involved from initial property showing, transaction negotiations, property and paperwork preparations, to making sure the closing was on time snd fully funded within 3 business days of agreed closing date.
I highly recommend Scot Campbell for any and all of my Southern CA real estate needs.

Justin Bishop was more than helpful in finding me an specific property. He was extremely honest, upfront, and was able to find me a great property that fit right in my price range! He was extremely communicative and easy to reach and to answer any of my questions at all times. Justin made the process a breeze, he was professional and great to work with. Justin kept me up to date about available properties and always let me know as soon as a new one came on the market. He was honest and forthright- no games. After dealing with several other Agents in the area and being disappointed, I felt relieved to find him.

I truly recommend Justine Bishop.

Give him a call and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

I often know a street name that a house is on, but not the street number. If I type a street name into Homesnap, despite it knowing my location and the fact that the street in question may be close by, it pulls up CITIES with the name of that street in OTHER STATES. The opposite of user friendly. Instead I have to pull up a map and manually zoom in to find the listing.

Also, from an agent standpoint, there are two big gripes: 1) why can we only filter by ONE STATUS? I often want to see For Sale Listings AND for sale listings with an Open House. It would also be extremely helpful to see for sale, under contract, and sold all at the same time. And it also doesn’t show the Coming Soon category available on our MLS (Realtracs).

Lastly, the find an agent feature used to be fairly easy to find, but now it’s buried in multiple menus.

I’ve been wanting to write this review for over a year now, but keep thinking these issues will be fixed. No progress to date. All in all, lots of room for improvement.

1) This was my ‘go to’ app all the time, but with the new update it takes forever to load the scrolling pictures and if I’m in a spot with a shoddy cell signal, the pictures hang and none of the other data pulls up.
2) They also removed the ‘Exclusions’, so I’m not fully able to educate my Buyers when we walk into a home.
3) There is no where on HomesnapRentalHouseFinder to give feedback and future enhancement recommendations.

I guess I’m going back to the old days of printing the entire mls sheet and taking it to every showing —- boo!

by Llh239

Since HomesnapRentalHouseFinder is updated by MLS, I noticed that it shows when houses are under contract much faster than some of the other apps like Zillow or Redfin. It’s easy to use and easy to see all the pertinent information. I take away 1 star bc I wish they would make a few improvements.

I’d love to see a notes feature added. Also an option to print out about properties. Lastly, I really like that new homes pop up immediately under news, faster than I get mls emails from my realtor, but I wish I could filter them to only pop up ones within my criteria. Other than that, I am obsessed with HomesnapRentalHouseFinder!

by GreenEyes0912

As an agent, I really love the way of use of HomesnapRentalHouseFinder and love how it is branded to me. Sometimes, and especially within the last month or so, the data hasn't been the most up to date which is frustrating. I need to be able to know when things have gone under contract etc but overall, I love HomesnapRentalHouseFinder . I'm able to look up properties with ease and schedule showings with Showingtime, contact the listing agent in multiple ways, see agents' transactions, etc. It's great to be able to send properties in a message to my clients in HomesnapRentalHouseFinder and keep all of our chat about it in one place.

by DeniseCT

We love looking at real estate. We are soon to be retirees looking for that new location to explore. No matter where we travel we like to know what the price of the homes are. What that particular communities home are selling for. We find Homesnap just the tool to give us that information until we’re ready to talk to a realtor. Love all the details that Homesnap provides, as well as a link to the listing if the home is for sale. It even lets me save my favorites so I can go back and follow up with the realtor if I choose.

by Theresa Meyers

HomesnapRentalHouseFinder has so many great features you will not find on any other home search app. Example type in your work address one time and every time you look at a home it will tell you how long it takes you to get to work using 8 AM traffic. See houses for sale, snap a picture and it will tell you all about it and much more. It is a great app even if you are not looking for a new home, just want to keep up on the homes in your neighborhood. Check it out.

by BraggRealtyGroup

Homesnap is kept up to date constantly so that you don’t miss any opportunities when buying or selling your home. My clients love HomesnapRentalHouseFinder and can send me homes they like and receive ones I send them! You can even take a picture of a house with HomesnapRentalHouseFinder and it will tell you about it! How amazing! I always rely on HomesnapRentalHouseFinder as an active realtor but I’d rely on it if I were just looking at the market as well! User friendly score 5/5.

by K!is4awesome

Homesnap is by far the most comprehensive, accurate & reliable home search app I’ve used. As a property record professional & as an interested buyer, HomesnapRentalHouseFinder meets my needs when I’m looking for information about houses and land lots. It’s great that HomesnapRentalHouseFinder offers details for listings on the market as well as stats about any address that you’re looking for. Homesnap is a user-friendly app that can be helpful for everyone.

by Cribs With Chrissy

I love HomesnapRentalHouseFinder and use it faithfully to communicate with my clients as well as other agents. It has so many great features and I love the fact that it shows me GAMLS & FMLS listings without me having to log into each MLS separately. It saves me lots of time! I am also an investor and appreciate the fact that when looking at abandoned or depleted properties that may not have a visible address I can take a pic in Homesnap and it will give me the address and details bout the property!
