Here's how it works

   

Get approved.

Homeward approves you for a specific amount so you can start shopping and be ready to make an offer as soon as the house you want comes on the market.

     
Make an all-cash offer.

Homeward works with your agent to make a cash offer on your new home. Since it’s cash, your offer is three times more likely to beat financed offers.

   
Win the home.

After the seller accepts your offer, Homeward  works with your agent to finalize the purchase and things you’ll need to do to get it closed.

   
Move into your new home.

Homeward will close on your home as soon as the title is ready. You can move in the very next day and rent from Homeward until you buy it back.

   
Buy back your new home.
Once your mortgage is ready, you’ll close on your new home by buying it back from Homeward.

Homeward approves you for a specific amount so you can start shopping.
