Meet Real Estate Tech Entrepreneur: Jeff Glass from Hometap

Who are you and what do you do?

My name is Jeffrey Glass. I am the CEO and cofounder of Hometap Equity Partners. My job has five main requirements. My number one role is to ensure that we are capitalized to accomplish our mission of making homeownership less stressful and more accessible, as we have ambitious operating and deployment goals that can’t be accomplished unless we have the necessary capital. Secondly, I think of myself as a champion of company culture. Our culture centers around being a good owner of one’s work and a good neighbor to one another. I try to do all I can to ensure that our values are operationalized and practiced throughout our organization. Number three is that I work to ensure that we have a high caliber leadership team that functions well together, because talent attracts talent. Fourth, I seek to amplify and communicate our business strategy so that we all are working towards a common set of goals. And finally, I look to help with game-changing business development or sales opportunities that can make a major impact on the achievement of our strategy.

What problem does your product/service solve?

Tens of millions of American homeowners are house-rich and cash-poor. We seek to accomplish our mission of making homeownership less stressful and more accessible by offering these homeowners an alternative to debt. We provide qualified homeowners with capital today in exchange for a percentage of the future value of the home.

This debt-free cash allows homeowners to accomplish goals like making renovations, funding a child’s education, putting a down payment on a second home, starting a business, and handling other life expenses that were previously unattainable to them.
