Utah Startup Takes On Affordable Housing

Huntsville, Utah, Today, ShowmeRebates.com, the revolutionary platform with the goal of making housing affordable again through rewarding home buyers with rebates on homes they are looking to purchase, announced the opening of its crowdfunding campaign to raise growth capital for the company through a crowdfunded equity offering in partnership with Wefunder. The proceeds will aid in accelerating customer acquisition and realtor awareness through a strategic marketing campaign and expansion into new states.

ShowmeRebates.com is a first-of-its-kind tool dedicated to providing rebates to home buyers through an innovative process that allows real estate agents to offer rebates for their clients in just a few clicks. Combining the full inventory of homes on the market with this state-of-the-art IDX search tool, allowing buyers to shop a new way for their next home and receive cash rebates once they purchase. For real estate agents, they can showcase their commitment to their existing clients while uncovering a wealth of new clients, regardless of if they are the listing agent or not by providing the rebate to the home buyer.

“With 97% of home purchases being started online, and 93% of homes being purchased starting with that online search, we wanted to reward the buyer for their efforts in finding their home” said Justin Robins, CEO and founder of ShowmeRebates.com. “As a realtor of over 15 years, I know the value and piece of mind a real estate agent provides throughout the home buying process. ShowmeRebates is the perfect fit for buyers and agents alike. It empowers the buyer to shop where they receive cash rebates for their time in searching and provides real estate agentes a way to reach new clients who are in the advanced stages of the buying cycle, giving them better qualified leads and in turn, more sales and commissions in their pockets.”

Mr. Robins is acutely aware of the rise in real estate prices and how the accessibility to new homes is dwindling for many prospective buyers. “I see ShowmeRebates as a way to help combat the increasingly unaffordable housing market. By creating ShowmeRebates, myself and my team have identified a way to make home ownership more affordable and help more people achieve their piece of the American Dream”.

In a 66 day span over the summer of 2022, ShowmeRebates saw over 16,000 new users and 68 registered buyers in just the state of Utah. With over 45,000 property views, ShowmeRebates has launched beyond expectations with incredibly high interest not just from buyers looking for rebates on properties, but for real estate agents to cash in on these leads as well. “Real estate agents are already being provided very high intentioned leads and buyers are taking advantage of the rebates being provided. In just one state, we have proven the model successful in a very short time span and are excited for the next five states on our roadmap to launch later this year”.

Beyond home buyers and agents, Mr. Robins also stressed the importance of this Wefunder campaign and reasoning behind it in his commitment to creating a better life for the average person. “We are already in talks with several companies for partnership and acquisition, but I wanted to give people the chance to be on the ground floor of this amazing opportunity. By partnering with Wefunder, we are able to allow people to invest now, while we are already launched and running, but before we become too big or people are shut out from the chance to truly take full advantage of this unique opportunity. I want to give everyone the opportunity to be a part of this that can and help them grow their wealth so they too can purchase their dream home off ShowmeRebates one day”.

The founder has used his experience and connections over his past 15 years in real estate and marketing to build a strong team of professionals and grow ShowmeRebates into a leader in the market. The ShowmeRebates team consists of a number of experts in both tech and real estate, bringing an unparalleled level of confidence to investors. The team is composed of experts in both tech and real estate, with accomplishments including 50 years of real estate experience totalling $1.6B in gross sales. As well, experienced tech startup members that have entered and exited seven different projects, with the projects being acquired for over $1B combined. To date, ShowmeRebates has been bootstrapped by over $300,000 of investment to launch and begin pairing buyers to rebates and agents to those new clients. With a five year projected income of over $35,000,000, ShowmeRebates is positioned to be a huge success story among Wefunder campaigns.

About ShowmeRebates

ShowmeRebates is an innovative, first-of-its-kind home buying rebate platform that gives agents the ability to showcase the rebates they offer in real time, for any home available on their local MLS. The platform solves two major issues plaguing the real estate industry, the ability to keep homes affordable through rebates and keeping costs in check for agents with high ROI leads at a fraction of the cost spent on traditional formats such as Zillow, Realtor.com, or CINC.

ShowmeRebates provides buyers a robust search platform for new homes where they are also able to see rebates in real time. This has never existed before ShowmeRebates and provides unique value to those looking to purchase a home and create the only place buyers need to go to find their next home.

For real estate agents, the days of long lead times, exhaustive, low value follow ups, and low ROI on their lead generation spend are gone. With ShowmeRebates, leads generated have a much higher intent due to the value supplied by the rebate and a greater urgency to convert to sale. This results in less follow up and chasing of prospective clients, and a greater focus on revenue generating tasks. Also, with ShowmeRebates being just launched in the summer of 2022, there are no waiting lists for high interest zip codes that agents covet, giving them ground floor opportunity to corner the hottest markets available.
