The local contest platform
Find the town’s ugliest house.
Housewreck helps local investors run owner-approved contests, turn public votes into attention, and transform one willing homeowner’s property into the makeover everyone follows.
Owner entries only. No purchase or sale required. Offers are always separate and optional.

Review before reveal
Keep submissions private until consent, eligibility, photos, and local rules have been checked.
Opportunity, handled quietly
Track who wants an optional offer without turning a community contest into a high-pressure sales funnel.
01
Collect owner-approved entries
A focused nomination flow captures the story, property details, photos, and signed owner consent before anything goes public.
02
Turn attention into a leaderboard
Publish approved homes, accept community votes, and keep each monthly contest moving with a live, shareable ranking.
03
Separate the offer from the prize
Privately identify owners who want to discuss an optional offer without making a purchase or sale part of contest entry.
04
Build the makeover story
Organize sponsors, winner updates, and before-and-after content around one memorable local transformation.
Pricing
Prove the format. Then own your market.
