Overview

Apartment Scout is an automated apartment search workflow that pulls listings from multiple sources, filters them against defined criteria, and surfaces the highest-fit options in a more structured way than manually checking sites one by one.

Capabilities

  • Multi-source listing collection
  • Filter-based fit scoring
  • High-match result surfacing
  • Structured tracking workflow
  • Notification-ready outputs

Implementation

Apartment Scout is designed as an automation pipeline that collects listing data, filters it against user-defined rules, and pushes higher-fit options into a tracked review surface.

Problem

Apartment hunting across multiple listing sites is repetitive and noisy. I wanted a workflow that could collect listings, apply practical filters like neighborhood, size, and pet-friendliness, and surface the best matches without constant manual searching.

Public-safe workflow view for apartment scraping, filtering, and match surfacing.

Outcome

Apartment Scout reduces search friction by surfacing better-fit listings faster and turning a repetitive manual process into a more structured workflow.
