Hometap: Jeff Glass's Big Idea That Might Change the World

December 30, 2021


Authority Magazine

As a part of my series about “Big Ideas That Might Change The World In The Next Few Years” I had the pleasure of interviewing Jeff Glass the president, CEO and co-founder of Hometap, which has introduced an entirely new paradigm that allows homeowners to access the equity they’ve built in their homes to do more in life.

Thank you so much for doing this with us! Before we dig in, our readers would like to get to know you a bit. Can you please tell us a story about what brought you to this specific career path?

My entrepreneurial career began at age 17, when I started going door-to-door selling office furniture to make money for college. I began by canvassing the Empire State Building, top to bottom, and I’ve really been an entrepreneur ever since. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to run and create multiple companies. The satisfaction that comes from seeing how hard work can create something new and important continues to motivate me.

The Hometap family of companies utilizes Hometap Equity Partners, LLC and Hometap Homeownership Solutions, LLC to provide Hometap Home Equity Investments (HEI or HEIs). Each entity has the ability to enter into a HEI directly with the consumer:

Hometap Equity Partners, LLC dba Hometap. NMLS ID# 2467867 NMLS Consumer Access 361 Newbury St, 5th Floor, Boston, MA 02115

Hometap Real Estate Equity Partners, Inc. holds real estate brokerage licenses in certain states. California DRE #02191883

A Hometap HEI has a ten (10) year term, during which no monthly or recurring payments are required. Hometap records a lien against the property, in the form of a mortgage or deed of trust, to secure its interest. You may choose to settle the Investment at any time during the term without incurring any penalties by exercising an Owner Repurchase. If you do not settle the HEI by the expiration of the term, your Hometap HEI provider may exercise its right to acquire a percent ownership interest in the property and then work with you to sell the property. You may contact either Hometap entity at hello@hometap.com (for prospective or current applicants) or homeowners@hometap.com (for homeowners with an active HEI) for more information. Eligibility criteria are subject to change. For current criteria, please contact your Hometap HEI provider at (855) 223-3144 or visit www.hometap.com/faqs
