Maybe it’s our Austin roots. Maybe being remote first attracts people with a strong sense of self. Maybe birds of a feather really do flock together. Whatever it is, we’ve assembled quite the collection of “Homeweirdos.” Our team includes two former opera singers, a llama mama, and an upcycled garment designer. We take pride in our uniqueness because it’s what makes our team so much fun. And our remote workforce and independent culture give you plenty of freedom to be yourself while you get to know your teammates (and their kids and pets).
Our company was just getting started when the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Like a lot of businesses, we shifted to remote work, thinking it would be temporary. But as we grew from 20 to 200 employees remotely, we realized that a remote workforce offered a few advantages. Hiring people to work from home regardless of where their home is gave us a bigger, more diverse pool of talent to choose from and gave us the space and focus we need to get deep work done.
Our team is growing and changing, but our core values aren't.
Whether we’re dealing with colleagues or customers, we follow The Golden Rule, treating others the way we want to be treated. It’s a simple rule, but it’s also significant: we don’t prioritize money or growth over people, and we practice empathy at every opportunity.
We work in tech and build solutions for real estate. Both are fast-paced and stressful industries. So it’s important that we focus on the larger objective rather than rushing from one task to the next. If something is out of scope, we say “No.” If something feels rushed, we pump the brakes. This calm focus helps us create solutions our customers love.
Big problems require big solutions. We look at our customers’ experience holistically, and recognize that solving them requires collaboration across teams. This approach extends to cooperation among our three affiliate companies — Homeward, Homeward Mortgage and Homeward Title — and produces a more integrated homebuying experience.
