Today, we\u2019re excited to announce we\u2019re launching <\/b>HomeLight Trade-In\u2122<\/b><\/a> and <\/b>HomeLight Cash Offer\u2122<\/b><\/a> throughout the state of Texas to transform how local residents buy and sell homes. The expansion is fueled by a\u00a0$100 million\u00a0credit facility from Credit Suisse, one of the world’s leading financial service providers.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all seen it: the past decade of innovation in real estate has focused entirely on making it easier to search for the home of your dreams.<\/span><\/p>\n

But that\u2019s when reality hits: there\u2019s been little, if any, innovation around the mechanics of actually buying or selling a property \u2013 the most complex and challenging part of the process. Millions of homeowners still face real estate\u2019s largest catch-22:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sell first, and you risk being temporarily homeless.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Buy first, and lose out to more competitive buyers.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Do both and it\u2019ll cost you thousands of dollars.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Worse yet, in today\u2019s red-hot market, buyers are finding it\u2019s nearly impossible to transact, as the <\/span>Wall Street Journal<\/span> recently reported. In some regions, homes are only on the market for hours before dozens of offers flood in, many of them all-cash.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But it doesn\u2019t have to be that way. In the past two years, HomeLight has built technology to make the process easier, all in the name of making buying and selling real estate simple, certain, and satisfying \u2014 and helping homebuyers and sellers compete and win.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The future of buying and selling a home \u2014 available today.<\/span><\/h2>\n

The expansion of these financial offerings comes at a crucial time for homebuyers and sellers, as record-setting inventory shortages continue to fuel steep growth in home values and intense bidding wars in Texas and across the United States. HomeLight Trade-In\u2122 and HomeLight Cash Offer\u2122 make real estate transactions possible for countless individuals who otherwise wouldn\u2019t be able to compete with traditional financing in today\u2019s competitive real estate market.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are <\/span>countless stories<\/span><\/a> of homebuyers and sellers using our products to successfully transact \u2014 whether they\u2019re <\/span>upsizing from a 1-bathroom starter home<\/span><\/a> for their family, <\/span>looking for their retirement home<\/span><\/a>, making a <\/span>cross-country move<\/span><\/a> with kids and animals, or simply <\/span>upsizing a family home<\/span><\/a> with kids underfoot.<\/span><\/p>\n
