BOULDER, Colo., March 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — zavvie, a leading fintech company bringing liquidity to residential real estate, has launched an AI-powered platform designed to accelerate the speed of cash offers and funding, giving homebuyers a decisive competitive edge.
The new HomeFAI system enhances zavvie’s Cash Portal for cash buyers and strengthens its Cash Buy Before Sell program, providing homeowners the financial flexibility to secure their next home before selling their current one.
“This is AI meets modern home financing – and it’s transforming the way people buy homes,” said Lane Hornung, co-founder and CEO of zavvie. “Our new platform brings unprecedented speed and certainty to home financing, helping loan officers and their clients win more deals. With AI automating underwriting, risk assessment, and transaction management, we’re making cash offers and alternative financing solutions more accessible than ever.”

- Stronger Offers: Cash-backed and all-cash offers help buyers win in competitive markets where multiple bids are common.
- Higher Conversions: zavvie’s Cash Advantage program results in 92% mortgage attachment.
- Surging Adoption Rates: HomeFAI app adoption has more than doubled year-over-year, increasing by 155%. Moreover, 83% of loan officers using the legacy application process switched to the new streamlined HomeFAI, most commonly through the mobile app.
- Seamless Integration: Works with existing Loan Origination Systems (LOS), CRMs, valuation tools, and underwriting platforms, making adoption easy for lenders.
“HomeFAI offers a next-gen system for loan officers, real estate agents, and their homebuyers,” said Venkatesh Baglodi, zavvie’s Chief Technology Officer. “By leveraging AI for automation, risk assessment, and real-time decision-making, we’re enabling a more accessible, secure, and efficient financing experience – a major breakthrough in the alternative financing world.”
Helping buyers win in today’s “all-cash” market
According to data from Attom, “all-cash sales” have surged, nearing record highs and accounting for 39% of all home sales over the past year. Nearly 38% of single-family homes were bought with cash, the largest purchase share since 2013.
Homebuyers using zavvie-powered cash offers are experiencing increased offer acceptance rates. Loan officers across the country have seen a surge in deal flow and borrower confidence thanks to HomeFAI’s streamlined process.
