Texans now have access to Homa, an AI-powered home buying platform originally launched in Florida that gives buyers back the commission. 

Homa, which is headquartered in Austin, called Texas “the land of opportunity” as the state continues to lead the nation in population growth, adding 391,243 residents in 2025 alone. The company’s Texas rollout comes during the housing market’s peak buying season, with April through June accounting for nearly 30% of annual home sales.

Arman Javaherian, CEO and co-founder of Homa, said Texas home 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.”

“The traditional model has always relied on buyers not knowing they had another option,” Javaherian added in a statement. “With Homa, they do.”

What does Homa offer its customers?

“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,” Javaherian said. “We’ve had over a thousand Texans on our waitlist asking when we are coming. June 15 is the answer.”

Money back to lower rate or boost offer

A licensed brokerage, Homa helps buyers keep most of the buyer-side commission, typically 2% back, that would traditionally go to an agent, the company said. 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 to reduce a monthly payment over the life of the loan. The money saved can be the difference between a buyer purchasing a home today and waiting another year, Homa said.

Some Texas buyers are competing with multiple offers and making decisions worth hundreds of thousands of dollars with limited time and support. In competitive markets, Homa said it gives buyers the option of putting the buyer’s commission toward making a stronger offer.

AI-powered tools to support the buyer

Homa said its platform offers Texans such valuable tools 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. Also, Homa said that its AI has been trained extensively on the Texas market to see that buyers get “accurate, locally grounded offer price suggestions” across the state, whether they’re looking for a home in a fast-selling or more measured market.

Homa said its Texas expansion supports its mission to make homeownership more accessible, less expensive, and less dependent on a system that wasn’t designed for the buyer’s best interests. It extends the reach of a model that helps buyers keep more of their money in one of the nation’s largest housing markets, “at a time when saving matters more than ever,” the company said.

Frank Sweet, a South Florida resident and Homa customer said he liked the transparency and support provided by Homa. “I like the coordinator” as well, Sweet added in a statement.
