Founding Purchase Pod

For brokerages, teams, and offices

Let five agents prove the workflow before the office buys the platform story.

Use a bounded 30-day pod to see whether agents activate real buyers, connect lenders, create meaningful property activity, and repeat the behavior—then decide what deserves to scale.

A separate individual pathway

The 90-day Fellowship does not replace the 30-day office pod.

HomeSifter intends to select up to three individual agents for intensive founder-led product development. The office pod remains a distinct five-agent operating proof with its own eligibility, scope, and terms.

Two brokerage operating paths

Choose the workflow your team is trying to improve.

HomeSifter supports the buyer and property-decision journey. ResiLink separately supports bounded field-side work around REO files. A brokerage can explore either path without treating one as a prerequisite for the other.

HomeSifter · Buyer workflow

Validate a shared property-decision workflow.

Use the 30-day purchase-pod path on this page to test agent activation, buyer activity, lender coordination, and repeat use before discussing a wider office deployment.

ResiLink · REO file operations

Evaluate the work around the REO work order.

Explore inspections, repair estimates, competitive bids, awarded-work scheduling, preservation, recurring property checks, evidence, closeout, and invoice support while the brokerage keeps its client relationship and judgment.

The sponsorship question

Can one shared property-decision workflow improve buyer activation, professional coordination, and repeat use?

An office commitment should follow observed use. The pod creates enough local density to reveal activation, support, lender-participation, and repeat-use constraints without requiring an enterprise rollout.

What the office provides

A bounded cohort and an accountable champion.

  • Five eligible agents with credible purchase-buyer paths
  • One office, team, or broker sponsor
  • One lender or branch contact
  • A defined market and 30-day observation window
  • Time for onboarding and a closing evidence review

What HomeSifter provides

Direct-agent access and a measurable proof loop.

  • Eligibility and market-coverage review
  • Agent accounts and brokerage attribution within approved scope
  • First-buyer onboarding and active-search delivery
  • Buyer/lender collaboration workflow
  • Pod-level activity and operating-evidence review

Pod evidence review

Measure the sequence that produces production value.

Website visits and account registrations are context. The operating sequence is account → first buyer → lender connection → meaningful action → second buyer → sponsor pull.

01

Activation

% of qualified agents who activate a first HomeSeeker within seven days

02

Repeat

% of activated agents who activate a second HomeSeeker within 30 days

03

Lender connection

% of active HomeSeekers with an identified or participating lender

04

Meaningful activity

Favorites, questions, showings, scenario updates, and lender reviews

05

Delivery cost

Support minutes, compute, messaging, payment processing, and contribution

06

Expansion pull

Agent, lender, office, or branch request for another pod or broader use

Initial proposed decision gates

Fix the earliest failing gate before adding volume.

60%first-search activation within seven days

If this fails, fix eligibility, onboarding, or offer clarity before recruiting more agents.

35%second HomeSeeker within 30 days

If this fails, test whether the product creates curiosity but not durable workflow value.

1 → 2one pod produces another pod

Professional network pull begins when participants request replication without founder-led selling.

These are proposed pass conditions for validation, not observed HomeSifter performance.

Expansion after proof

Standardize what active agents already value.

The office conversation changes from “Would you like to try HomeSifter?” to “Several agents used it with live buyers. Do you want to sponsor, standardize, and measure the workflow?”

  1. 01Founding agents

    Individual activation and first buyer.

  2. 02Purchase pod

    Five-agent local proof.

  3. 03Office sponsorship

    Administration, billing, reporting, and defined use.

  4. 04Branch production

    Volume, term, integrations, and support separately scoped.

Office-level category value

Make payment-fit discovery explainable, repeatable, and measurable.

The brokerage can give agents and lender partners a common affordability workflow without asserting that an estimate is an approval or that HomeSifter replaces professional responsibility.

Better matching may also change which existing listings enter a household's practical decision set. Whether that changes tours, offers, closings, or a seller's next move belongs inside an attributable pod study—not a sales promise.

Inspect the market-movement thesis

Request a pod review

Define the sponsor, cohort, market, and first active buyers.

Submitting starts eligibility and scope review. It does not create accounts, activate searches, or approve a production deployment.

01

Professional identity

Who will sponsor the pod?

02

First-value setup

Define the smallest useful pod.

03

Use boundary

Confirm professional use.

Submit business and workflow information only. Do not include borrower names, Social Security numbers, credit reports, account statements, or unredacted financial records.

Submitting does not create an account, activate a search, or authorize a charge.

Prefer to begin individually?

An eligible agent can start with one buyer before an office pod exists.

Eligibility and market coverage are confirmed before an account or search is activated. The public professional-onboarding form accepts business information only. A separately authorized HomeSeeker request may collect self-reported search context, but never Social Security numbers, credit reports, account statements, mortgage applications, or financial documents.
