Revolutionize the home-buying experience.
Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions most people ever make — yet the process hasn’t fundamentally changed in fifty years. HomeDIY is building the tools that let buyers and sellers move through it together: directly, transparently, and on their own terms.
Four problems with how homes get sold today.
The 6% commission tax
In a typical sale, agent commissions alone eat $30,000-$60,000 of equity on a median home. That money should stay with the people doing the actual moving.
The information gap
Buyers are kept at arm's length — funneled through showings, scripted disclosures, and back-channel negotiations. We give them a direct line to sellers, a checklist of every document they should ask for, and an AI that helps draft the contract.
The escrow problem
Earnest money has to move through somebody both parties trust. We make the seller pick a title company up-front, surface it on every listing, and bake it into the contract — so there's no scramble at the moment money should change hands.
The contract maze
Purchase agreements are intimidating because they're hidden inside agent software. Ours are fill-in-the-blank, with every standard contingency exposed and explained, full revision history, and a printable version when it's time to sign.
Everything a real estate agent does. Without the agent.
