That’s because our mission is to deliver an honest and transparent home shopping experience, not sell your leads to other buyer agents. We also launched the largest marketing campaign in real estate ever to drive over 100M+ visitors to the Homes.com Network, channeling them directly to agent’s listings and profiles.* This is home shopping how it should be. *The Homes.com Network includes Homes.com, the Apartments Network and the Land Network.
