Homeward distributes its services through real estate agents and reports partnerships with more than 25,000 agents. Its programs can unblock transactions when existing home equity or an unsold property prevents a buyer from moving.

For its cash-sale offering, the company returns the remaining market-sale proceeds to the homeowner after applicable costs. Homeward also combines cash purchasing with affiliated mortgage and title services to coordinate the transaction.

Homeward's CEO told Crunchbase News that Buy Before You Sell carries a 1% program fee and a monthly interest cost. Sell Before You List has a single program fee without a monthly charge, but the article does not disclose that fee's amount.

The company also earns revenue through its mortgage and title businesses. Its CEO said offering more services within the transaction can reduce the program fee Homeward needs to charge.

Homeward helps homeowners buy a new property before selling their existing one, make cash-backed offers, or sell quickly for cash. Its programs operate through real estate agents who maintain the client relationship.

The company can purchase a seller's home and return remaining proceeds after its market resale. Its affiliated mortgage and title services support the transaction alongside the cash purchase and financing programs.
