About
HomeLight, Inc. is a U. S. -based technology company revolutionizing the real estate market by simplifying property transactions for homeowners and buyers, while connecting them with top real estate professionals.
Founded in 2012 in Scottsdale, US, HomeLight, Inc. specializes in providing innovative real estate solutions. In April 2026, HomeLight, Inc. raised USD 40 million in venture debt funding from BlackRock.
The company is co-founded by Bjorn Graarud, Drew Uher, Nikita Ramachandran, Philip Gay, and Vidushi Duggal, with Drew Uher also serving as the CEO. HomeLight specializes in innovative real estate solutions designed to simplify the buying and selling process for clients. Its core offerings include the Buy Before You Sell program, which allows homeowners to unlock equity from their existing homes through a 0% bridge loan, enabling them to purchase a new home without the contingent sale of their current property. Additionally, HomeLight provides access to a network of top real estate agents and cash buyers through its Simple Sale™ platform, catering to sellers looking for expedient cash offers for their homes.
These services target homeowners, buyers, and real estate agents across various U. S. markets, enhancing the transaction experience through modern title and escrow solutions and an agent matching service based on historical performance data. HomeLight generates revenue through transaction-based fees associated with its real estate services, including commissions from agent matches and fees from the Simple Sale™ cash offer program.
The structure of transactions typically involves the company connecting sellers with cash buyers or top-tier agents, facilitating a seamless selling experience. For instance, when a homeowner opts for the Buy Before You Sell program, they may receive a cash offer for their current home, allowing them to proceed with their new home purchase without delay. Revenue is derived from the successful completion of these transactions, along with potential commissions from agents engaged through HomeLight’s platform. The company’s focus on providing value-added services to both buyers and sellers enhance the likelihood of repeat engagements, further solidifying its position in the competitive real estate market.
The company will use the April 2026 funding to scale its platform across the US.
