Director of Mortgage Sales- Preferred Partner

Our Values

THE GOLDEN RULE

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.

CALM FOCUS

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.

ONE TEAM, ONE DREAM

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.

About Homeward

Buying a home should be an exciting milestone. But all too often, it's stressful, especially in a competitive market or when you're buying and selling at the same time. So we're redesigning the home-buying experience. We're a fast-paced real estate startup that empowers agents to help homebuyers buy with cash. We buy homes on behalf of our partners' clients with our cash, then the client buys the home back from us.

Founder and CEO Tim Heyl, a 10-year industry veteran and owner of one of the fastest-growing agent teams in the country, started Homeward in 2018. In fact, he bought our first customer's home with his own life savings. Today we offer two services — Buy with cash and Buy before you sell.

We've raised more than $160MM in equity capital from top-tier venture investors, including Norwest, Blackstone Alternative Asset Management, Adams Street, Javelin, and LiveOak. Our leadership team includes experts from the real estate, mortgage, and technology industries.
