Homeward
Homeward is a real estate technology company based in Austin, Texas, focused on simplifying the homebuying and selling process. Founded by Tim Heyl, a former real estate agent, Homeward addresses the challenge buyers face when they need to sell their current home before purchasing a new one. Their flagship service, "Buy Before You Sell," allows Homeward to buy a new home for the buyer, enabling a smooth transition without the need for temporary housing. The company offers three main services: "Sell to Homeward," where homeowners receive cash offers for their homes; "Buy Before You Sell," which allows buyers to move into a new home before selling their old one; and "Make a Cash Offer," which enables buyers to make competitive cash offers on new homes. Homeward's services are designed to enhance the homebuying experience, providing flexibility and quick closing times, while also supporting real estate agents in delivering innovative solutions to their clients.
