Hometap Named 2025 HousingWire Tech100 Real Estate Winner

Boston-based home equity investment provider earns industry recognition for the fifth time

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS – March 10, 2025 – Hometap, the Boston-based financial technology company pioneering debt-free home equity financing for American homeowners, announced that it has been named to HousingWire’s HW Tech100 Real Estate list. The list recognizes the most innovative and impactful technology companies in the housing economy that are creating practical, tangible solutions for the problems that homebuyers, homeowners, real estate agents, and lending professionals are dealing with today.

“This recognition from HousingWire validates our mission to empower homeowners with financial flexibility without the burden of additional debt," said Jeffrey Glass, CEO of Hometap. “As we continue to innovate in the home equity space, we remain committed to putting homeowners first and providing solutions that help them achieve their financial goals while maintaining stability in their most valuable asset: their home."

Hometap's home equity investment (HEI) product enables homeowners to access their equity without taking on monthly payments or selling their property. By investing alongside homeowners, Hometap provides cash in exchange for a share of the home's future value. This innovative approach has gained significant traction as homeowners increasingly seek flexible, debt-free alternatives to traditional financing options. With an HEI, homeowners can pay off debts, fund home improvements, start a small business, finance important life events, support retirement plans, or diversify their investment portfolio.

"Being recognized for the fifth time by HousingWire reflects our continued commitment to the home equity space," said Sarah Dekin, President of Hometap. "As we've scaled our operations and refined our technology platform, we've maintained our focus on creating solutions that truly serve homeowners' needs and educating homeowners about these solutions. This recognition validates our approach of combining operational excellence with homeowner-centric service, and we're excited to continue expanding access to home equity in ways that empower homeowners."

The HW Tech100 Real Estate list is determined by both a panel of industry leaders and a committee of HousingWire editors. Hometap was previously named to the 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 Tech100 Real Estate lists, alongside several other companies that are revolutionizing the real estate sector.
