Growing up, Mike Peregrina experienced how unfair, confusing, and expensive the current state of real estate can be. His mother worked multiple jobs at the same time so they could afford to buy a home, but even then they lived in the garage and rented out the house to make it work.
We help you get home
We're making buying or selling a home easier, faster, and more affordable than ever.
How Homie Started | How It’s Going
Fast forward to college, Mike started to build his future by investing in real estate. When the 2008 real estate crash happened, he lost everything. One thing was clear: the system is broken. Homeownership should be a dream for all, yet is a pipe dream for far too many. He had to do something about it.
Today, we’re so glad he did. Homie was founded in 2015 by two Mikes and a Johnny in the great state of Utah. Since then, Homie has saved clients over 100 million dollars in unwanted commissions and fees, all while putting thousands of people on the path to homeownership and wealth they can count on. The name Homie comes from someone you can always rely on, no matter what.
When you go with us, one thing is always certain: we’ve got your back.

We’re on a mission to bring equity and change to real estate, for good.
In doing so, we seek a changing of the guard in real estate: an easier and accessible path to homeownership for all. That starts from within, with a company led by values each of us live by and are inspired to work by. That’s where our difference starts; it’s at our core.
Our Values
Disruption
We start with why, fighting fearlessly for fairness. Leadership doesn’t require permission.
Loyalty
We are all in this together and accountable to one another, our customers, and our communities.
Balance
We care for ourselves, so we can take care of others, by fostering an environment that prioritizes mental and phsyical well being.
Humility
Grateful isn’t dead. Kindness is contagious. Progress over perfection, always.
Everyone Can Own a Home
Did you know that, on average, homeowners have a net worth that is 40x greater than renters? The possibility of homeownership should exist for all, not some. Homie is improving the odds by focusing on improving three areas in which traditional real estate doesn’t cut it.
Affordability
Affording a home is a challenge people everywhere face, everyday. The Homie family of companies offers solutions such as selling for a low fee, Homie Cash™, our 50/50 commission split, our low interest rate guarantee, and more to ensure you can both build and keep your equity.
Ease
In 2021, when we asked Americans about the home buying and selling processes, 49% said they were intimidated by it all. Homie has brought everything you would ever need to buy or sell a home under one roof, including local experienced expert agents, and layered in technology to make the processes easy as pie.
Transparency
In 2020, when we surveyed 1000 Millennials in America, 65% weren’t aware of the typical 6%** commission fee charged when selling a home, and 42% thought it was free to use an agent to buy a home. Through transparent, simpler pricing practices, as well as programs dedicated to awareness, education, and advocacy for change, we’re committed to making this right. We have nothing to hide, they shouldn’t either.

Because we made the process so streamlined and easy, you'll pay a low fee, no matter the price of your home.
The listing agent will take their cut of the commission and distribute the buyer's agent portion. All based on the sale price of your home.
