Bonus Homes featured in Inman: Redefining what it means to sell your home
We’re proud to share that Bonus Homes has been featured in Inman—one of the most respected voices in real estate media. The article spotlights our innovative approach to home equity, our mission to empower middle-class homeowners, and how we're giving sellers a new way to win, without selling out.
This feature marks a major milestone in our journey, and we’re excited to introduce even more homeowners, agents, and industry professionals to the Bonus Homes model.
A New Way to Cash Out
As covered in Inman, Bonus Homes offers a completely different way for homeowners to access their home equity. Our model allows sellers to receive a full equity payout—without a traditional sale or a HELOC. We invest in the home, take over its management as a rental, and when the home appreciates, sellers get a second payout through a share of that future value.
We call it “cashing out twice”: once when you move on, and again when the home gains value.
Real Estate, Rethought
Unlike iBuyers or traditional investors, Bonus Homes is about long-term partnership—not just short-term transactions. Our founder and CEO, Kyle Kamrooz, put it best in his interview with Inman:
“Most people who sell do so because it’s the only way to get their equity out. We want to be the ‘don’t sell’ solution.”
This approach gives homeowners the liquidity they need now—whether it’s to buy their next home, pay off debt, or invest in their future—without losing their connection to an appreciating asset.
Agents Win, Too
Real estate agents play an important role in the Bonus Homes model. As highlighted in Inman, agents working with us still earn their full commission, without the time and costs of traditional listings. No open houses. No staging. No marketing budgets. Just a clean transaction, a fast close, and long-term upside for their clients.
We're currently active in 14 states and 25 cities, working with a growing network of brokerages who want to offer something new—and truly valuable—to their clients.
More Than Recognition, A Movement
Being featured in Inman is a powerful acknowledgment of what we’re building at Bonus Homes. But more than that, it's a signal that the industry is ready for change. Homeowners deserve more than one way out, and we're here to provide a smarter, more flexible path to real estate wealth.
To everyone who’s been part of this journey so far—thank you. We’re just getting started.
