Catapult Homes — Helping Homeowners Buy and Sell their Home

Move Forward

You're ready to move.
We're here to help.

As a homeowner, buying a new home while living in your current home is way more complicated than it should be.

Vacating your house, staging it, finding an interim place to live, securing financing for the new home while carrying a mortgage on the current home — it can be stressful and even overwhelming.

We're here to make it easier.

No up-front costs

We only make money when your home sells on the open market. Catapult's fees are often a fraction of other options, and can be as low as zero percent for select clients. You never pay us up-front or out of pocket.

Our Approach

How it works

You shop for your new home. We make the rest easy.
‍
There are no upfront costs. We are not iBuyers or home flippers. Our product helps you buy your new home first, move just once, and then sell your current home on the open market.

Catapult starts with a First Payment, which enables you to secure financing with ease. It's 70-75% of the value of your home - the rest comes later - and pays off your current mortgage and often helps with the down payment.

Next you go shopping! With our offer, you can get fully underwritten (not just pre-approved!) by lenders — that means you can make strong, non-contingent offers.

When you find a new home, everything happens concurrently in escrow: our First Payment pays off your mortgage, we buy your home, and you buy your new home. You move just once.

Then you pick any agent and your home is sold on the open market. When it sells, you get a Second Payment from us equaling the sale price, minus our First Payment, our fee, and typical closing costs.

That's it! Free to start and our fee is only charged after your home sells on the open market.

You probably have a few questions.

These are a few of the most commonly asked questions. See our FAQ for more.

Are there really no up-front fees? How much will this cost me?

No upfront fees or deposits. Zero.

Catapult's fees are often a fraction of other options that help you buy first and sell second. And for select clients, Catapult is free!

Do you have your own real estate agents?

We believe that as a homeowner, you get the best outcomes when you have a wide range of top agents to choose from. That's why we give our clients full discretion to work with any agent they like.

We do partner with highly regarded real estate agents and can connect you to any of them. Agents do not pay to be in our network. You can also choose an agent on your own, and we'll happily work with them on the sale.

Where do you operate?

We currently help homeowners in Northern California and the San Francisco Bay Area sell their homes.

Why did you start this?

Homeowners looking to move usually have two bad choices: (1) move out first, stage and sell the home, then shop for a new one; or, (2) take on an expensive loan or a second mortgage - if they can even get one - and buy the second home first.
‍
We built Catapult to help free up homeowners to buy a new home without the stress. One move, no double mortgage.

What if you sell my home for a lot more than you bought it from me for?

The more your home sells for on the open market, the more you make from the sale. Catapult charges a small fee based on the final sale price for the home.
‍
You will get whatever the home sells for on the open market, minus our fee and the typical closing costs (agent fees, escrow fees, etc.).
‍
So if your home sells for more than we think it’s worth, we both make more money off the sale; if it sells for less, we both make less money than expected. Either way, we are aligned with you in wanting to get the best price for your home on the open market.
