How StopLyte Works

When you claim your home on StopLyte, you pick one of three colors. Nobody sees your color, not buyers, not agents, not your neighbors. Your color decides what we do when a buyer fits your home:

Red, I’m not selling. Nothing happens. No alerts, no prompts, no inquiries. You can still quietly see who is looking near you, and forward us any spam you get elsewhere.

Yellow, I’m not listing, but I’d listen. StopLyte privately alerts you when a strong match arrives. The buyer does not know your home matched, and cannot see your signal. You decide whether to reach out.

Green, I’m ready for the right buyer. Your home can appear to well-matched buyers as a private opportunity, never with your address or your name. You still approve every introduction.

Red: nothing. Yellow: we tell you. Green: we bring them to you. Change it anytime. Nothing about changing it is visible to anyone.

Nobody can contact you through StopLyte, not buyers, not agents, unless you choose to reach out to a specific buyer. If you never reach out, nothing ever happens. When you do, the conversation starts with both sides’ names and contact details hidden; they are shared only if you both agree, and either of you can end the conversation at any time.

Buyers post what they are looking for: areas, budget range, size, and a sentence in their own words. Homeowners see those signals, never the buyer’s name or contact info. Buyers never see your address, your name, your signal, or that your home matched anything.

If you want the world to know you would like to be left alone, you can put a red shield on your home’s map pin. It is optional, off by default, and it is a contact preference, never a selling signal. Any home, shield or not, may be any color underneath, or none. It never changes when your signal does, so it cannot give your signal away.

We publish neighborhood-level statistics like “23 active buyer signals in the Green Hills area.” They are aggregates across the whole market, updated weekly, never tied to a street or a home, and never include anyone’s signal.

If a home is not claimed, a buyer can pay a small fee for us to ask the owner, once, whether they are Red, Yellow, or Green. The buyer gets that answer and nothing else: no name, no phone number, no way to follow up. If the owner says Red, nobody can ask again for a year, and owners can opt out of Honks permanently.
