Buyhint is an Egyptian startup taking on a specific gap in the local real-estate market: investors want to know which unit will actually return on their money, but listings sites stop at price and photos. Buyhint adds the ROI layer on top — projected returns per unit, comparable inventory, and the broker network behind each listing — so an investor’s decision starts from numbers, not just square meters and a postcode.
What we built
The platform is a full investor-facing surface: web and mobile clients, an authenticated portal where users save units and build watchlists, and an ROI computation engine that combines unit-level factors, rental-yield baselines, and market-appreciation curves into a defensible projection per listing. Behind the scenes, broker-feed integrations bring stocked inventory in from five launch partners — five of Egypt’s leading brokerages — so the listings are real, current, and tied to a credible source instead of scraped from the open web.
The projection engine on a single listing: unit value and rental yield modelled out to year ten, then resolved into cash flow and a payback curve. This is the output the whole platform exists to produce.
Every projection is framed against the alternatives a buyer is actually weighing — a bank deposit, gold, a certificate of deposit — rather than presented in isolation.
Why the broker partnerships matter
Egyptian real estate is heavily intermediated. Most credible inventory lives inside brokerage networks, not on consumer listings sites. By starting Buyhint with five top brokerages signed on as launch partners, the platform launches with stocked inventory and live market data from day one — and the brokers themselves get a distribution surface that adds investor-grade analytics on top of their listings. It’s the rare alignment where the platform, the brokers, and the buyers all win.
