Tim Heyl, Founder and CEO of Homeward, took the Austin real estate market by storm within years of starting his career at Keller Williams Realty. Voted Top Real Estate Agent by Austin Business Journal and having his team, The Heyl Group, ranked as the 25th most productive team in the Real Trends Thousand list, he attributes his success to knowing when to ask for help, taking the time to build close-knit teams, and spending an immense amount of time generating leads. He’s now looking to give real estate agents a leg up when competing with iBuyers through Homeward. Homeward is a startup that makes it possible for people to use their home value to make a cash offer on a house without having to put it on the market first, removing the burden of finding a transition home between sales. Unlike other tools, Homeward requires a real estate agent for the transaction, and Heyl believes this enables agents to offer their expertise while also offering clients the kind of tools the market now demands. In this episode, Tim explains how agents can power up their careers and stay competitive in a hot market.
