DJ bought his first home in Tampa without an agent — and pocketed $10,500
How a Tampa pharmacist used Homa to navigate his first home purchase — and walked away with thousands back at closing.
Saved $10,500
First-time buyer · Tampa, FL
"I saved about 2.5% in commission, around $10,500, which I'm going to use for other things around the house." — DJ, Tampa, FL
DJ had been thinking about buying for a while. As a pharmacist in Tampa, he knew the math — and he also knew that handing over thousands of dollars in commission to an agent he didn't need didn't quite add up.
When he found Homa, things clicked. The platform walked him through every step with clear checklists, AI-powered pricing analysis, and MLS listings filtered to exactly what he was looking for. When he needed to see a home in person, Homa connected him with an agent — paid by the hour, not the sale.
For the offer, the AI ran the numbers: time on market, comparable sales, the full picture. He didn't have to guess.
"It walks you through step-by-step," he said. "I felt supported the whole time."
At closing, DJ received a credit of over $10,500 — 2.5% of the $420,000 purchase price, returned from the commission Homa saved by cutting out the traditional buyer's agent. He plans to put every dollar of it toward the new home.
