Frequently asked questions
Realm scores F on the API Report Card. No public REST API. Realm's only programmatic surface is an embeddable JavaScript widget, gated by a Public API Key that a Realm rep issues manually. The widget is one-way: partners cannot pull property reports, ROI estimates, or project data into their own systems.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Realm (Realm Living, Inc.) is a New York-based, ~$24.9M-funded (3 rounds, 10 investors per Tracxn/PitchBook) home-renovation planning platform founded in 2019 that combines a homeowner-facing iOS/Android app and web product (realmhome.com), a renovation-advisor concierge service, a vetted contractor network (described as a top-10% acceptance rate), and a partner-key-gated embeddable JavaScript widget for real estate agents and other partner sites (widget.realmhome.com/widget/v1/widget.js, documented at widget-docs.realmhome.com).
Property Management / PropTech-adjacent renovation marketplace. A homeowner downloads the Realm iOS/Android app or signs up at realmhome.com, enters their property address, and gets a free property report combining tax/permit/zoning data with renovation potential, ROI estimates, and suggested projects (kitchen, bath, ADU, primary suite, addition).
Low-to-medium. Realm reports having worked with ~4,000+ homeowners cumulatively (per third-party review aggregations) and is one of several well-funded but regional renovation-advisory startups.
Realm holds the homeowner's per-property renovation intent layer: address-level property reports merging tax history, permits, zoning, and listing photos with Realm's proprietary renovation ROI model; saved homeowner project plans (kitchen, bath, ADU, addition) with cost estimates, timelines, and design renderings; the comparable-bid history that underpins Realm's pricing model; advisor-led project scopes and contractor match assignments; refundable deposit ledger and downstream contract/warranty status for booked projects; the contractor network's profile, vetting status, and (likely) per-job placement-fee billing; and the real-estate-agent partner channel's co-branded report distribution lists.
Modern. Founded in 2019 in New York; product surface is a contemporary React/Next-style consumer web app, native iOS and Android apps (App Store ID 1589251076), and a lightweight embeddable JavaScript widget.
No self-serve developer portal, every partner integration requires a Realm representative to manually issue a Public API Key; no documented onboarding SLA. Widget is the only sanctioned surface, there is no REST/GraphQL API to pull Realm property reports, ROI estimates, comparable bid data, or contractor match data into a partner CRM or data warehouse.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
