About

HomeRun. com is a real estate technology platform that streamlines the homebuying process, reducing closing times from 42 days to just 7 days through the use of AI-driven workflows, enhancing efficiency for buyers, sellers, and agents alike. HomeRun. com is a technology platform focused on facilitating the homebuying and selling process.


The company was founded by Andrew Seldenrust, Tony Wilbert, and Haitham Sadoun. In September 2011, HomeRun. com was acquired by Rearden Commerce, which is backed by a consortium of investors including Empire Capital Partners and JPMorgan Chase. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, US.


Homerun provides a streamlined platform for homebuying that significantly reduces the average closing time from 42 days to just 7 days through AI-powered workflows. The service is designed for a variety of stakeholders in the real estate process, including buyers, sellers, and agents, addressing the complexities and inefficiencies often associated with traditional transactions. By offering integrated tools such as automated dashboards, task lists, scheduling, and built-in messaging, Homerun enhances communication among all parties involved, ensuring transactions proceed smoothly. The platform targets urban and suburban markets across the United States, focusing on individual homebuyers and real estate professionals seeking efficient transaction management.


Homerun's revenue model is primarily derived from service fees associated with its platform, which facilitates transactions between homebuyers, sellers, and real estate agents. The company operates on a direct-to-consumer basis, potentially incorporating subscription-based access for agents and listings, and typically charges fees for platform usage. Specific pricing plans are not disclosed, but the firm’s offerings ensure users can navigate the homebuying process without incurring out-of-pocket costs at the point of transaction, enhancing user engagement. Following the acquisition in September 2011, HomeRun.


com aims to leverage its funding to enhance its product offerings and expand into new markets. The company is currently designing new features to further streamline the homebuying process and plans to launch these updates in the near future. Specific geographic areas targeted for expansion include urban centers in the Eastern US, aiming for implementation by 2013. The funding received from its recent acquisition will support these initiatives, allowing for continued development and market penetration.
