Real estate search, rebuilt around your commute
Find the places you can live without losing your life to the drive.
Tell us where you work, how long you are willing to drive, and what you want to buy. In partner markets, we unlock matching homes. In new markets, we collect your request and use it to bring the right local Realtor onto Commutin.
Buyer requests first. MLS-backed listings when a vetted local partner unlocks the market.
The commute is the lead magnet
A buyer who says “I need to be within 20 minutes of Cleveland Clinic under $450K” is not browsing. That is high-intent demand a top local agent can actually work.
Buyer names the anchor
A hospital, campus, office district, school, or second household commute. The search starts with daily life, not a zip code.
Commutin captures the request
Budget, beds, timing, commute tolerance, and the neighborhoods that already look promising become a clean buyer handoff.
Partner unlocks the market
One local Realtor adds MLS/API access, turns the market from demand capture into live search, and receives the lead flow.
Major commute-pain markets we can launch before MLS access
We are prioritizing major metros and strong secondary markets where traffic is painful, employers create steady buyer demand, home sales are active, and top Realtors can justify $500/month for 5+ guaranteed leads.

Built for buyers who know the drive matters
Hospital and university workers
Shift times, parking, transfer points, and morning bottlenecks change what a “good house” really means.
Two-income households
Two jobs means two commute maps. The best neighborhoods are often hidden in the overlap.
Relocation buyers
Before they know neighborhoods, they know where they need to report on Monday morning.
Agents who want better leads
A commute-filtered buyer request is more useful than a generic portal click with no context.
Launch demand first. Unlock listings second.
That is the Commutin wedge: prove buyers want commute-first search, then give one local Realtor the reason to plug in MLS access.
See the Partner ModelCommutin is not a brokerage. We publish commute-first search experiences and route qualified buyer demand to licensed local partners. MLS-backed listings appear only in markets with approved data access.
