Homebot helps millions of people build wealth through homeownership. If you’re a homeowner, we help you know your home value and make the best financial decisions you can. If you’re buying, we’re there to help you find the right home and win financially. Our business model is B2B2C, selling the software to lenders and real estate agents to help them be the trusted resource for their clients.
We help people succeed, and we drive that through our culture. Everyone is here to work for the mission, to help each other excel, to have the best time doing it, and to grow ourselves with an insatiable hunger to do what we do better.
