Our story

Moving should be fun and exciting, but many clients were filled with anxiety."
Tim Heyl
It all started with an agent
Tim Heyl became a real estate agent in 2009 and was named the city’s number-one real estate agent by The Austin Business Journal at the age of 24. His company, The Heyl Group, went on to become recognized as an Inc 5,000 business five times, and as a top 25 agent team by the The Wall Street Journal Top 1,000. 

He saw a problem

The real estate process felt broken. “I kept running into the same problem: my sellers had to wait months to find a buyer and were often unable to even make an offer on a new home until they sold.” Heyl watched his clients deal with the stress of months of showings, moving twice, or, worse yet, missing out on their dream home.  
Then came an idea
"Moving should be fun and exciting, but many clients were filled with anxiety," he reflects. "They felt rushed to make decisions and sometimes regretted their choices." Unlike investors and technology companies actively trying to displace agents, Heyl believed good agents are an integral part of the solution. This inspired him to build Homeward with the goal of empowering agents with a better way.
We created a solution
Heyl founded Homeward in 2018 and was named Inman News Innovator of the Year in 2019. Following incredible adoption and resounding feedback from buyers, sellers, and agents, prominent firms including Blackstone, Credit Suisse, and Norwest invested hundreds of millions of dollars to make Homeward available across the US.

The Homeward Way

THREE services. ONE SEAMLESS EXPERIENCE.
Buying and selling with cash removes the uncertainty and stress of moving, but at Homeward we know that’s only part of the solution. That’s why Homeward has bundled our cash home buying services with our affiliates, Homeward Mortgage and Homeward Title – together, we help buyers and sellers save money, time, and effort.

"Everyone I work with at Homeward is smart, kind, responsive, and helpful and wants to do things the right way. I love having a lot of autonomy and that Homeward welcomes new ideas and outside-the-box thinking."

I moved every few years as a kid, so I'm not used to staying in one place for too long. But I just bought my first home and am loving it!
