Great Game - Needs a Little Work Though!
Just started playing and it’s super enjoyable so far. Love that there are no adds, looking through Zillow listings is fun, I’m focusing on Tampa as my first location because I ❤️ the city and interesting to see prices. Appreciated the quick earnings for touring and the earnings on owned properties.
A few tweaks are necessary to hold my interest for the long haul:
- Takes far to long to get adequate hammers for sales and renovations
- Renovations are poor at best. It would be way more fun if all photos of a particular room were updated to illustrate a complete renovation. For instance the entire kitchen versus just one wall.
- Reno’s and sale listings are just too costly to do often, especially for the higher quality, but this is required to move up and complete tasks.
- I’ve already spent money on the game but pretty evident that full satisfaction would be very costly 😢
- It would be nice to browse other teams prior to leaving the one I’m in. Currently they aren’t super active and I’d like to check out others to decide if I want to change.

Excellent idea bizarrely executed
The price guessing mechanic is straight up bizarre and unfair. I hate that it gates more content for you to get through. I even paid for premium or whatever it’s called and I still find the touring to be offensively unsporting. Otherwise, it’s a fun idea. Cool way to see the world of Zillow while building a real estate empire.
Update:
The guessing has become better I guess. Less grueling. However, the payouts from owned properties is really low still. It would take real life months to break even on buying the in game properties with in game cash.

Response from developer
appreciate the candor! we're rebalancing the tour difficulty so it feels fair (even more so for Pro players), and we're adding the ability to hire employees to handle tough tasks for you. glad the core idea landed - i'd love to hear more at ankith@closingtheory.com
Great game long way to go
Apart from some bugs I’ve been absolutely hooked. Make late game more comprehensive. And change the progression of tours and such between cities. There is so much room. Since I’ve played for long the hammer cost aren’t too concerning but I can imagine new players getting deterred. And scale clan rewards up better. Also scale hammer production with properties better in cities like Montreal luxury homes at the bottom price for 700 k are the best value etc while Toronto is horrible to keep properties so reward people for getting billionaire level homes.

Amazing Game!!
A little slow at first, but once you get into it, it’s super fun and interesting, especially if you find interest in houses
In app purchases are a scam!!
I bought the $7.99 pack for renovation hammers with my Apple Pay. But after it went through, both my Apple Pay and bank sent immediate notifications that I was charged for $48. Literally what the heck?? What kinda scam is that? Don’t make any purchases unless you want to be charged for way more than you’re told.
