Real estate tools and services to compare real estate agents, research home prices, and view homes for sale and rent
About HomeGain.com
Established in 1999 by Brad Inman, HomeGain.com emerged as an early player in the online real estate sector, notably pioneering an online home valuation tool before many of its current-day competitors. The company operates as an online platform designed to connect home buyers and sellers with real estate professionals. Over its history, the firm has navigated several ownership changes, including a sale to Classified Ventures in 2005 and a subsequent acquisition by the online ad marketplace Reply.com in February 2013. Currently, it is owned by Buyerlink, a subsidiary of One Planet Group.
The core of HomeGain's business is facilitating connections between consumers and real estate agents. The platform provides consumers with a suite of free tools, including resources to compare real estate agents, research home prices, and browse property listings such as homes for sale, foreclosures, and new constructions. Users can get instant home value estimates and access professional Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) from an agent. The service functions as an agent search and referral platform, where consumers can find professionals who are a good fit based on the platform's data-driven suggestions.
HomeGain's revenue is generated through a referral fee-based business model. When a lead provided to a real estate agent through the platform results in a closed transaction, the agent pays HomeGain a referral fee. This fee is reportedly a percentage of the agent's gross commission from the sale. This model positions the company as a marketing solutions provider for real estate agents, offering them a source of qualified consumer traffic and leads. The platform serves both individual home buyers and sellers looking for representation and real estate agents seeking to grow their business.
