Here’s What Makes It a Game-Changer
✅ Private, Nationwide Search
Your clients can safely browse homes across the country (including major metro areas and the top 200 MLSs) without being tracked or sold to, unlike on public search sites.
✅ You Stay in the Spotlight
Your name, face, and contact info appear on every listing. Clients can easily reach out to you to ask questions or request a tour.
✅ Smart Affordability Tools
Every listing includes an editable mortgage calculator that uses real-time market data to help clients understand what they can truly afford, based on their budget, not just the list price.
Learn about our best-in-class financial calculators HERE.

Important notes
Loan officers should add a preferred agent to their buyer's profile. That way, their agent will receive property questions instead of the listing agent. Agents on Homebot will receive all listing inquiries, not the listing agent. Learn about listing agents vs. preferred agents 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.
