Make home ownership easy, transparent, and accessible for every homeowner.
We can manage our 401ks, stocks, and bonds, but there is no easy way to manage our homes. Yet the average US homeowner has over 70% of their net worth in their home, equating to over $11b in unmanageable net worth.
We think that’s nuts.
A home is a very special place. It’s a community, a nest, and what you have within your home is a culmination of a life’s journey. We don’t typically consider our home an investment until major renovations, upgrading, or buying and selling.
Unlike other investments like stocks with systems to self-manage, the ability to manage a home as an investment has been overlooked. And yet, for most, a home is the most significant financial investment they will make. Leaving tens of millions with no way to easily make smart investment decisions around their home.
That’s why we created Homefile. We’re focused on modernizing how homeowners protect, manage and maximize the return on their home investment.
