With Homa’s expansion to Texas, buyers can receive most of their commission back at closing while leveraging AI-powered support throughout the homebuying process

AUSTIN, Texas: Since its initial launch in Florida, interest in Homa has skyrocketed, with over a thousand Texans joining the waitlist for access to the platform. Today, the wait is over. Homa, the AI-powered home buying platform that gives buyers back the commission, today announced its Texas launch, bringing its licensed brokerage model and AI-native buying experience to Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio, with services available to buyers anywhere in the Lone Star State.

"I found Homa. I researched the company as I do, and liked what I saw. I like the transparency, I like the support that they provided, I like the coordinator," said Frank Sweet, South Florida resident and Homa customer.

The move into Texas comes at an opportune time as the state continues to lead the nation in population growth, adding 391,243 residents in 2025 alone. It also coincides with the housing market’s peak buying season, with April through June accounting for nearly 30% of annual home sales, positioning Homa to meet growing demand from buyers during one of the most competitive and lucrative periods of the year.

A licensed brokerage, Homa helps buyers keep most of the buyer-side commission, typically 2% back, that would traditionally go to an agent. On a $500,000 home, that can mean up to $10,000 back at closing. Buyers receive those funds as a closing credit that can reduce closing costs, strengthen their cash position or buy down their mortgage rate. Depending on the loan and lender, a buydown can meaningfully reduce a monthly payment over the life of the loan. These savings can be the difference between a Texas buyer purchasing a home today and waiting another year.

Many Texas buyers are competing against multiple offers and making decisions worth hundreds of thousands of dollars with limited time and support. In competitive markets, Homa’s model gives buyers additional flexibility at the negotiating table. Instead of losing the 2% buyer-side commission to the traditional agent structure, buyers can put that money toward making a stronger offer.

Homa's platform gives Texans the necessary tools, such as AI-powered property analysis, plain-English explanations of listings and disclosures, offer strategy support and expert human guidance, to search, analyze and act with confidence. Notably, Homa’s AI has been trained extensively on the Texas market to ensure buyers get accurate, locally grounded offer price suggestions across the state, whether they’re looking for a home in a fast-selling Austin neighborhood or a more measured market in San Antonio.

"Texas buyers are sharp. They do their own research, know what they want and have never loved the idea of handing over tens of thousands of dollars to someone for opening a door and writing up a contract,” said Arman Javaherian, CEO and co-founder of Homa. “The traditional model has always relied on buyers not knowing they had another option. With Homa, they do. They get a licensed brokerage, AI-powered tools and real expert support when it counts, and buyers get most of the commission back at closing. We have had over a thousand Texans on our waitlist asking when we are coming. June 15 is the answer."

Homa’s Texas expansion advances its mission to make homeownership more accessible, less expensive and less dependent on a system that wasn’t designed with the buyer in mind. It extends the reach of a model that helps buyers keep more of their money in one of the nation's largest and most important housing markets, at a time when saving matters more than ever.
