Smarter tools for homebuying success.
For too long, housing counselors and individuals have struggled with a patchwork of websites and Google Sheets to do their work. In a world of high interest rates and rising home prices, this is simply not good enough. Decision Fish is developing a suite of tools designed to accelerate and streamline the client’s journey to homeownership—freeing time for counselors to build connections, educate, and perform outreach.
