You found the house. You did the research. How much should you pay an agent to close the deal? Zillow alum @armanjava’s @BuyWithHoma raised $5M to help buyers keep more of the commission. It says buyers receive an average $10,560 credit at closing. My exclusive for @twifintech: thisweekinfintech.com/p/excl…

The national average for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage just hit 7.4% — the highest in nearly 3 years. Your home purchase could buy it back down. On a $500K home, that’s $10,000 back. With @BuyWithHoma, it’s yours to use. At today’s 7.40% rate, 0.75 points off a $500K home (20% down) saves about $200 a month.

Wall Street is moving to Dallas. And a lot of home searches may be moving with it. @TXStockExchange is rolling out corporate listings, @MorganStanley just announced a major new Dallas regional headquarters, and the city’s finance sector continues to grow. @BuyWithHoma is already live across Texas to help welcome the people and families behind those headlines. Tour homes on demand, work with a team of experts throughout the purchase, and receive up to 2% back at closing. tryhoma.com

I witnessed @zillow and @trulia lead the homebuying revolution for 6 years before starting @BuyWithHoma. They gave everyone access to property listings and empowered buyers with data and knowledge that had once been difficult to access. I’m incredibly grateful to @spencerrascoff and @peteflint, the CEOs of Zillow and Trulia at the time, for the opportunity to learn from two leaders who helped transform an entire industry. Those years also showed me how much work was still left to do. Search had been reinvented, but the rest of the homebuying journey remained fragmented. Buyers still had to navigate disconnected agents, lenders, tour providers, and closing teams, often without a single place to get answers or understand what to do next. I believe we’re now entering the second phase of that revolution. At Homa we’re bringing the entire journey together: → AI-powered search and property analysis → on-demand tours → licensed in-house agents → integrated mortgage financing → 24/7 operations team to answer questions → dedicated closing coordinators who keep everything on track. And because it all operates as one integrated platform, we can give buyers up to 2% of the purchase price back to lower their mortgage rate, reduce their closing costs, or lower the purchase price. The first phase gave buyers access to the information. The second phase will give them a better way to actually buy the home.

Most homebuyers still assume buyer-agent commission is just a fixed cost of the transaction. It isn’t always. On a $500K home, a 3% buyer-side commission is $15K. If your brokerage charges 1%, that can leave $10K eligible to come back to you at closing. At Homa, we believe better representation should create better economics for the buyer. With us buyers get full-service representation, and eligible remaining commission can come back as Homa Credit.

On a $500K home, a 2% commission rebate could mean $10K back to the buyer. That's a lot of money to leave on the closing table. With Homa you could use that money to lower closing costs, a mortgage rate buydown, & other eligible uses.

Did you know you can lower your mortgage rate with a commission rebate? We wrote a guide that explains: > how homebuyers can apply eligible commission rebates toward a permanent rate buydown > how to calculate the break-even point > when that approach makes sense. Your closing credit can keep working for you long after closing day with Homa. Read how. ↓ tryhoma.com/blog/articles/co…

We did the math on the @loveislandusa villa for fun 👀 Estimated value: $10M Homa cash back at closing: $200,000 That's about 28,571 matcha lattes or 200 round trips to Fiji. The villa isn’t for sale… but your dream home might be.

See a home you love? Check the Homa Credit before you tour. Eligible listings show your estimated cash back upfront, so you can search smarter and save more at closing.
