This was a great experience. My Hometap adviser, Rafael was so helpful and patient with me through the process. He answered every question and responded promptly to my emails and calls. I will recommend Hometap to my friends.

Excellent Experience with Eric Kessler!— Plus a Birthday Twin!
I had a great experience working with Eric Kessler from Hometap. He was extremely helpful throughout the entire process and took the time to guide me through each step, answer all my questions, and make sure I understood what to expect.
Eric was professional, responsive, patient, and very easy to work with. He made the entire process feel smooth and straightforward, which I really appreciated.
And as a fun bonus, we found out that we share the same birthday! That definitely made the experience even more memorable. 😊
Thank you, Eric, for all your help and guidance. I truly appreciate the excellent service and would definitely recommend working with him!
The process with Hometap was smooth and quick. Doing this HEI saved us from filing bankruptcy, because we were eaten up with credit card debt, and could not get approved for any other kind of loan to consolidate due to our debt to income ratio being too high. Hometap saved us. I however would not resort to doing a HEI unless the situation was dire like mine, because you will end up paying A-LOT back to Hometap when you decide to refinance, sell or pay them back yourself. If you do use Hometap, it would be wise to refinance or sell ASAP, and do not wait the whole 10 years. You will end up owing them A-LOT more of your equity than you borrowed. But again, in a dire situation like mine, Hometap was our best and really only option. As long as you refinance quickly, the payback won’t be too bad. I really appreciate Hometap because it gave me a huge break when I really needed it. I was able to pay off almost all of my debt, and now I have an opportunity to breathe while I figure out the rest. My HEI investment manager Michael was nice and, for the most part prompt in responding. Also, when there was a delay in closing due to no fault of them or me, they compensated for that, so that was appreciated as well. Overall it only took about a month to finalize everything, and I got the money in my account in exactly 7 days after signing.
My settlement agent was very patient and thorough, and a good communicator. He explained all aspects of the process to me! I’m very happy that after an extreme medical condition ruined us financially, that there is through the home equity agreement, an opportunity, that is going to improve our financial future and get our finances back in order!
Thanks Victor!

Thank you, Patricia! It's fantastic to hear you found your Investment Manager patient and thorough throughout the process.
I get it, looks great, like a HELOC, but no monthly payment but buyer beware! Not only did I get dropped by my homeowner's insurance but they actively went out of their way to squash my home refinancing recently. They are intrusive into your home's financing in a very off putting way and are extremely less than forthcoming on their valuations and how they come up with their math. And when pressed on the logic (or lack thereof) on their math, their numbers change! When my bank, the largest bank in the US mind you, also found their practices less than logical or permissible even, they pressed them as well to explain their rationale, they refuse to respond.
