Hometap is a Boston-based fintech company on a mission to make homeownership less stressful and more accessible.
Its home equity investment product provides homeowners with a fast, simple, and straightforward way to access the equity in their home without taking on monthly payments or having to sell. By investing alongside homeowners, Hometap offers cash in exchange for a share of their home’s future value — all without any monthly payments over the life of the investment.
And its digital platform, the Home Equity Dashboard, allows homeowners to take control of their largest asset — their home — with tools designed to help them better access, understand, and control it.
Through a combination of financial innovation and best-in-class customer service, Hometap enables people to get more from homeownership so they can get more from life.
