What is Homebot Home Search?
Homebot Home Search enables your clients to safely browse markets and explore homes for sale nationwide (including major metro areas and top 200 MLSs.), all while you're front and center on every listing. Your clients gain personalized financial insights for each property, empowering them to make confident decisions. Each listing provides an interactive smart calculator that makes it easy to understand affordability based on the client's budget and current market data.
Best of all, you stay connected with clients along their home-buying journey! In Homebot Home Search, your contact information appears on each listing, with ways for clients to send you a message or request a tour when they want to learn more about a property.

How Homebot Home Search Works
Your database of homeowners and buyers have easy access to Homebot Home Search through their Homebot reports and the automated monthly emails.
Homeowners and buyers can easily jump into the Home Search experience using the navigation bar at the top of their report. Listings are also featured throughout the homeowner and buyer reports.
When your clients land on the search homepage, they'll know what to do! Simply type in where they're looking for homes, and voila: Homebot's search portal will display properties in that area.

Important notes
Lenders should add a preferred agent to their buyer's profile. That way, their agent will receive the questions sent on a particular home instead of the listing agent. Agents on Homebot will receive all listing inquiries, not the listing agent. More about buyer profiles HERE.
Real estate agents on Homebot will need a lender co-sponsor to provide Home Search to clients and prospects. Here's an article explaining the benefits of having a lender co-sponsor and another on how to secure one.
We are required to feature the listing agent on each home for sale, however, agents on Homebot will receive all inquiries on a property, not the listing agent. More on that HERE.
