Why employers choose HomeVest

A benefit that works as hard
as your team does

HomeVest solves two problems at once — employees who can't save enough to buy, and employers who can't afford to lose great people.

Employer-matched savings

You set the match amount — a flat dollar figure or a percentage of contributions. Employees save, you match, and the account grows toward a real down payment.

Built-in retention mechanism

The employer match vests 25% per year over 4 years. Employees who leave before fully vesting forfeit the unvested portion — a meaningful financial incentive to stay.

Live employer dashboard

See enrollment rates, contribution totals, average vesting progress, and match costs in real time — all in one place. Know the ROI before you ever see a bill.

Competitive recruiting advantage

Fewer than 1% of employers offer this. When candidates see a down payment match on your benefits page, you stand out — especially with younger buyers locked out of the market.

White-glove onboarding

We handle setup end to end. Your team gets enrolled in days, not months — no HR overhead, no tech headaches, no compliance burden on your side.

Fully customizable — no risk

Set your own match cap, choose which employees are eligible, and adjust anytime. The 90-day pilot is completely free — no contract, no commitment until you've seen results.

Common questions

We've heard the concerns.
Here are the answers.

What does this cost us?

The 90-day pilot is free — you only pay the match amounts you've committed to, and only after employees earn them. Pricing after the pilot is based on enrollment and match totals, not a flat fee.

What if we can't afford a big match?

There's no minimum. Some employers start with $50/month per employee. The benefit has value at any level — it's the structure and commitment that matters most to your team, not the dollar amount.

How much HR time does this require?

Minimal. We handle onboarding, employee support, and reporting. Your HR team's only job is to share the invite link. Ongoing management takes less than an hour a month.

What if an employee leaves before they're vested?

They keep all their own contributions. Only the unvested employer match is forfeited — and those dollars stay in the program pool, reducing your future cost. It's designed to reward loyalty, not punish leavers.

What if an employee never buys a house?

The program is a savings benefit, not a home purchase guarantee. Employees who choose not to buy can use the funds for a future down payment or roll them to another approved use. The value is in the saving behavior and the retention effect.

How do I know this will work for my company?

That's exactly what the 90-day pilot is designed to answer. We run it with your real employees, collect real data, and give you a real report. You make the decision with evidence — not just our word.

What people are saying

The benefit employees actually talk about

★★★★★

"I've been at companies with 401k match, free lunches, gym stipends. HomeVest is the first benefit that made me feel like my employer actually wants me to build a life here."

SJ
Sarah J.
Software engineer, 3 years enrolled
★★★★★

"We were losing junior talent to bigger companies with bigger salaries. HomeVest gave us something to offer that they genuinely can't match — and our turnover dropped noticeably in year one."

MR
Marcus R.
Head of people, mid-size employer
★★★★★

"I thought I'd need a $100k salary to ever afford a house in this city. The employer match changed my math completely. We closed last spring — I can't believe it actually happened."
