The short version: developers pay us, you don't, and the way they pay us is designed so we have no reason to push you toward any particular property.
When you buy a property we recommended, the developer pays us a commission — the standard mechanism in Egypt's primary market. What's different: we structure our agreements so the rate is roughly the same whichever developer you buy from. A recommendation can't earn us meaningfully more by leaning one way, so it doesn't lean.
No developer can pay to appear in a shortlist, to rank higher, or to have their delays and risks softened. The shortlist comes from the financial screen; the screen's assumptions are shown to you with sources and dates.
You're talking to an AI adviser. It understands your requirement and explains results, and every financial figure is calculated the same way every time — same inputs, same numbers, with every assumption shown. A human expert reviews every shortlist before you act on it, and handles visits, negotiation and closing when you're ready.
Projections are scenarios, not promises. We show base, conservative and optimistic cases, state every assumption, and never guarantee a return. If a property doesn't clear the screen, we tell you that too — including when the honest answer is "don't buy right now."
For clients whose properties we manage, our keep-or-sell advice is commission-blind: it compares holding your unit against a real alternative on the same engine, and "hold" is a full answer — most of the time it is the answer. If you do buy through us, the developer pays us the same flattened commission as for any other purchase; if you sell, our resale fee is stated in your agreement. Nothing in the advice earns us more by pushing you to transact.
Deleting a chat hides it from your list, but the consultation record is retained for service quality — it's how we audit that the advice you got was honest. If you want your data fully erased, email support@homeytalk.com and we'll do it. Also out of scope for Homey: legal representation, property management, and guaranteed resale — no one can promise that last one, so we don't.
