Flyhomes Announces $141 Million in Financing to Continue Superpowering the Way People Buy Homes

August 15, 2019 By 3v.org Leave a Comment

Flyhomes, the Seattle-based startup reinventing the home buying process, is announcing $141 million in new financing, $21 million of which is Series B equity financing led by Canvas Ventures with participation from existing investors Andreessen Horowitz (a16z). $120 million in debt financing comes from multiple lenders, including Genesis Capital, who originates loans on behalf of Goldman Sachs Bank USA. The funding will be used to fuel the growth of products designed to make the home buying process as painless as possible. Flyhomes is also announcing the launch of its latest product, the Trade Up program.

“We have strong conviction in Flyhomes’ ability to reinvent real estate, a process that has seen little innovation in our lifetimes”

Flyhomes will leverage the new capital in several ways, including:

scaling its Trade Up program to remove friction and hassle for homeowners trying to buy a new home
empowering homebuyers across the U.S. to make a cash offer on their dream home
expanding operations to new cities on both coasts, adding new services and integrated technology solutions
hiring, with plans to more than double its headcount in 2019

Trade Up Program Designed for Homebuyers Who Also Need to Sell a Home
The Trade Up program, now available to homebuyers in Seattle and San Francisco, frees current homeowners to shop for their next home without worries about contingencies or timing. Flyhomes provides a guaranteed, competitive price for the home a buyer currently owns, thereby eliminating the risk and uncertainty of having two mortgages. Unlike the iBuyer model, Flyhomes lists homes to get the maximum value for the customer, while providing a 100% guarantee that the home will sell within 90 days, or they will buy it. If Flyhomes sells it for more than that price, they’ll hand over the proceeds from the sale. Now buyers who work with Flyhomes can make an all-cash offer on their new home—using Flyhomes’ cash—and move in before listing their current home.

“For most people, a home is the single biggest purchase they’ll ever make, and the traditional process of making that purchase is fraught with obstacles, stress, and worry. We believe our approach—which supports homebuyers with a vertically integrated product offering—is the future of real estate,” said Tushar Garg, Flyhomes CEO and Co-Founder, and alumnus of Kellogg School of Management. “Because we do everything from touring homes to funding their purchase, we have greatly simplified the process for buyers. We are thrilled to partner with Canvas Ventures and a16z on this investment, which represents a significant vote of confidence in our mission and ambitious goals for the future.”

Company Growth Proves Demand for Model
Flyhomes is leading a new generation of real estate companies for the next generation of homebuyers. Since launching in 2015, Flyhomes has experienced rapid growth while achieving significant milestones:

helped over 1,000 clients close on over $1 billion in homes bought and sold
won homes for clients 68% more than traditional brokerage firms
more than doubled Bay Area sales between the last half of 2018 and the first half of 2019
closed over 300 competitive mortgages in less than a year since launching Flyhomes Mortgage in June 2018
provided unprecedented service, achieving a “world-class” NPS score of 82 and 5-star Yelp reviews across all markets
“We have strong conviction in Flyhomes’ ability to reinvent real estate, a process that has seen little innovation in our lifetimes,” said Mike Ghaffary, Partner at Canvas Ventures. “Flyhomes offers a full-service real estate resource unlike anything currently available, and allows consumers to be more competitive in the home buying market. Their all-cash offer not only helps people buy a home, but it also helps them win over 68% more than traditional brokerage firms. The new Trade Up program from Flyhomes also now provides a minimum guaranteed price on an old home to give consumers the confidence to buy a new home they can afford.”
