Our Story
Built for a Generation That Needed a Different Answer.
TinyHomies was born out of a real housing crisis. We saw the demand, felt the friction, and built the infrastructure the tiny home movement was missing.
How We Got Here
The story behind the platform.
A housing crisis no one was solving.
In 2023, millions of Americans were priced out of traditional housing. Sustainable, modular, and modern tiny homes offered a real alternative — but finding them was nearly impossible. No central marketplace existed. Buyers were left searching dozens of scattered websites with no consistency, no verification, and no clarity.
Thousands of buyers. Nowhere legal to build.
As demand surged, a deeper issue surfaced: buyers were lined up but had no idea where they could legally place a tiny home. Zoning laws vary by county, permit requirements shift constantly, and navigating it all was a full-time job. Deals fell apart. Move-in dates got pushed. Builders lost sales. The bottleneck wasn't demand — it was the permit process.
We built ReadyPermit AI.
Rather than accept permitting as an unsolvable friction point, we built ReadyPermit AI — a tool that gives instant answers on zoning, building codes, and permitting requirements for any location in the US. Buyers can now know exactly where they can legally place a tiny home before they even shop. Builders know their listings are permit-ready. The bottleneck is gone.
The full ecosystem, finally connected.
TinyHomies is back as the definitive marketplace for tiny home buyers, builders, and architects. With ReadyPermit AI baked in, buyers can shop with confidence knowing the permit question is already answered. Builders get a platform with real buyer intent. Architects can list their plans. It's the complete ecosystem the tiny home movement has always needed.

ReadyPermit.aiThe permit problem
is now solved.
We built ReadyPermit.ai because we watched deal after deal fall apart over zoning confusion. Buyers were ready. Builders were ready. But no one knew where the home could legally go.
Now, before you ever contact a builder, you can get instant answers on where you can legally place a tiny home — by county, by state, by zip code. Permits no longer block the path to ownership.
