Young professionals cannot afford to buy alone, but working together they can. HomeMates guides them through forming the group, the co-ownership agreement, financing and the City's down payment assistance, and works alongside their buyer's agent through closing. If you own a 2-4 family property in Greater Boston and are thinking about your options, here is what we can offer.
We bring groups of first-time buyers who purchase together. They pool their purchasing power to offer market price. The difference is who buys it: young locals building equity, not an investor adding to a portfolio.
If you have people you trust and would want as neighbors, we can help split the equity and structure the arrangement. If you don't have people yet, we can find them. Either way, you stay in the home, access the equity you've built, and we handle the legal structure.
We're building a library of real Boston multi-families to show future buyers what co-ownership actually looks like. If you're not ready to sell but want to understand what your property is worth, we'll pay you to record a walkthrough and give you a free property estimate.

first-time buyers in Greater Boston are on our waitlist. They are pre-screened, serious, and waiting for the right property.
Yours may be it.
A group of co-buyers pools their purchasing power. Each individual pays less than they would buying alone, but together they can match or exceed what a single buyer would offer. You don't have to discount to move the home.
Investors buy homes to extract value. Our buyers are young professionals who want to own where they live, build equity for the first time, and put down roots in Boston. You've held this property for decades. This is a way to get top dollar and still feel good about the answer.
Here is exactly what to expect.

We come to the property. We look at how a co-buyer group fits the layout and the units.
You get a written analysis and a video walkthrough. No commitment required to receive either.
Either on market or off market, we'll match your property to a group within 60 days.
We handle the lenders, the attorneys, and the co-ownership structure. The group arrives at closing prepared.
No commitment. We'll follow up within 48 hours.

HomeMates charges you nothing. Our fee is paid by the households buying the building.
