Armadillo x Beycome: Expanding the real-estate ecosystem

MIAMI, Fla. -- Pioneering homeowner-centric tech startups Armadillo, a modern tech-enabled home warranty platform, and beycome, a leading tech-enabled digital real estate platform, have launched a partnership to provide homeowners and soon-to-be homeowners with an additional tool to facilitate the home selling experience.

This collaboration provides beycome's 'seller' clients with the ability to add an Armadillo home warranty in-app to reduce friction for the seller and move the transaction along more smoothly and efficiently. Armadillo's product also provides support via seller's coverage, which covers the cost of appliance/system breakdowns that may occur leading up to a closing date.

"Armadillo's value proposition goes arm-in-arm with beycome and their client base. Adding an Armadillo plan removes any uncertainties around potential breakdowns of home appliances/systems and removes obstacles that could hinder a sale. Armadillo x Beycome means that properties sell more quickly and at a higher value," said Armadillo CEO Matan Slagter.

"Our partnership with Armadillo aligns with our goal of making real estate transactions as stress-free as possible, and this home warranty plan is a critical component of that effort," said beycome CEO Nico Jodin. "We quickly discovered we share a fundamental ethos and circumstance: the inception of both companies was a response to the industry standard that just wasn't cutting it. We were both driven to do things differently and we knew there would be an opportunity in the future to do something meaningful together."

In December 2022, Armadillo and Beycome began work on an integration, and hit the market in under 2 weeks. When the Armadillo x Beycome collab dropped - despite it being during the slowest real estate season - home sellers jumped to add Armadillo coverage to their listings.

Armadillo and Beycome are next-generation platforms for homeowners and sellers. With the Armadillo x Beycome partnership, the platforms make buying and renting a home easier, faster, cheaper and fair by helping buyers and renters through every step of the process, consolidating it all in one digital platform and putting commission dollars back in the sellers' pocket.

ABOUT BEYCOME:

Beycome is a real estate technology platform that revolutionized the process of buying and selling homes. By eliminating the need for a real estate agent, beycome allows users to digitally purchase or sell their home and everything in between, resulting in significant cost savings on commissions. Since its launch in July 2020, beycome has closed 5,700 properties worth $1.7 billion, saving users over $51 million in commissions. With a remarkable pace of one property closing every 40 minutes, beycome is a modern, faster, easier, and cheaper alternative For Sale by Owner or traditional real estate practices. It is worth noting that beycome operates entirely without in-house realtors.

ABOUT ARMADILLO:

Armadillo is a technology company that offers home warranty plans designed for a new generation of homeowners. Founded in 2021 by Matan Slagter and Lansdon Robbins, Armadillo's mission is to provide an effortless homeownership experience. Armadillo plans are available nationwide.

78.9% of metro Atlanta residential housing inventory is eligible for down payment assistance – offsetting price and interest rate impact for aspiring homeowners

ATLANTA, Ga. -- As metro Atlanta homebuyers encounter the challenging trifecta of sharply rising home prices, elevated interest rates and institutional investor depletion of starter home inventory, Down Payment Resource (DPR), the housing industry's leading technology for connecting home buyers with homebuyer assistance programs, released a comprehensive report on the 46 active metro Atlanta homebuyer assistance programs. DPR issued the report to raise community awareness about resources that can make homeownership attainable for more families.

Methodology:

DPR produced homebuyer assistance program findings by analyzing its DOWN PAYMENT RESOURCE(r) database for active programs in 11 metro Atlanta counties. The DOWN PAYMENT RESOURCE(r) database tracks the funding status, eligibility rules and benefits of all U.S. homebuyer assistance programs using data sourced from more than 1,200 housing finance agencies (HFAs), municipalities, nonprofits and other housing organizations. Homebuyer assistance programs of all types are tracked, including down payment and closing cost assistance, Mortgage Credit Certificates and affordable first mortgages. DPR's market impact findings were produced by cross-analyzing its program data with First Multiple Listing Service (FMLS)-provided listing data.

Homebuyer assistance program findings:

* 37 of the 46 active programs currently have funding. Program funding is subject to fluctuation throughout the year depending on the seasonality of program funding and secondary market conditions among other factors.

* At least three programs are targeted toward public servants including educators, military service members, firefighters, police officers and medical professionals.

* Only 18 of the 46 programs have a first-time homebuyer eligibility requirement.

* 33 of the programs are forgivable, provided that all program conditions, such as owner-occupancy, are met.

Market impact findings:

* 78.9% of listings are eligible for one or more homebuyer assistance programs.

* Assistance amounts range from $2,000 to $25,000.

* Assistance is available for homebuyers that earn as much as $152,000 per year to purchase homes that cost as much as $548,000, noting that income and price limits are subject to household size, property location and could be higher in certain targeted areas.

* Listings in the studied area are eligible for $14,341 in assistance on average.

"Many people have given up hope on buying a home in Atlanta because they do not know that homebuyer assistance programs are available to help," said Down Payment Resource founder and CEO Rob Chrane. "As a community, we need to raise awareness about affordable pathways to homeownership."

"As a long-time Atlanta resident and housing industry professional, watching the average Atlanta home price nearly double over five years as investors pillage starter home inventory has been gut-wrenching because it makes sustainable homeownership less accessible to those who need it most," said Chrane. "Homeownership is about far more than securing the deed to four walls and a roof; it is the primary avenue for building generational wealth and supports long-term financial stability."

Select homebuyer assistance programs available in Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry and Rockdale County are profiled at https://downpaymentresource.com/professional-resource/spotlight-on-atlanta-homebuyer-assistance-programs/.

Individuals can search for their homebuyer assistance program eligibility for free at https://downpaymentresource.com/are-you-eligible/.

About Down Payment Resource:

Down Payment Resource (DPR) is an award-winning technology provider helping the housing industry connect homebuyers with the homebuyer assistance they need. With tool sets tailored for real estate agents, multiple listing services and mortgage lenders, DPR's technology empowers housing professionals to make affordable home financing opportunities more accessible while growing business and forging referral partnerships. The only organization to track the details of every U.S. homebuyer assistance program, DPR frequently lends its expertise to nonprofits, housing finance agencies, policymakers, government-sponsored enterprises, think tanks and trade organizations seeking to improve housing affordability. Its technology is used by five of the top 10 retail mortgage lenders by volume, three of the four largest real estate listing websites and 500,000 real estate agents.
