We’d been searching for a safe way for our parents to age in place, but zoning felt like a maze. FutureLot gave us a clear roadmap in minutes - showing exactly how a backyard cottage could fit on our lot, how much space we had to work with, and which local pros were the perfect match.

It’s streamlined my workflow, helped me win bids faster, and filled my pipeline with homeowners who are already pre‑qualified.
