Taylor Morrison Home Corporation (NYSE: TMHC), the nation’s fifth largest homebuilder and developer, and Offerpad (NYSE: OPAD), a leading tech-enabled platform for buying and selling residential real estate, have created a national, customer-focused relationship to help Taylor Morrison’s new buyers in 14 of its current markets. (Graphic: Business Wire)

The companies’ new relationship expands from an initial successful launch in the Phoenix market across 40 Taylor Morrison communities to a nationwide presence. Since launching, more than 70 customers have benefited from selling their home through Offerpad and over 1,180 more customers have explored the benefits by visiting the Taylor Morrison and Offerpad online portal.

“Our strategic relationship with Offerpad creates a more seamless real estate experience when selling your current home and purchasing a Taylor Morrison home,” said Taylor Morrison’s Chief Customer Officer Amy Rino. “Like Offerpad, Taylor Morrison recognizes the positive momentum in leveraging digital solutions when making real estate decisions, and I’m excited for the flexibility and benefits this expanded relationship will offer our customers.”

The business relationship between Offerpad and Taylor Morrison allows homeowners moving into their new home an easy and convenient sale of their existing home with added benefits including:

  • A competitive cash offer on the existing home from Offerpad within approximately one hour during business hours
  • The flexibility to schedule the existing home’s closing date up to nine months out in order to align with their new Taylor Morrison home’s closing
  • An extended stay of up to six months in the existing home post-closing
  • A free local move (certain restrictions apply)
  • Skipping the cost of owning two homes

Charles Bumpous, a recent home seller to Offerpad and a Taylor Morrison homebuyer in the Phoenix area, said, “We decided to use Offerpad for the convenience and ease and it was the best decision we made. We were building a new house and wanted to move once, without the headache of showing our current home. We would totally do this again!”

Offerpad’s National Vice President of Sales, Kyle Rush, said, “This relationship is designed to remove roadblocks many homeowners encounter when selling their existing home while trying to get into their new home. When the seller can receive cash for their home with certainty before moving out, they can make decisions that might not have been available otherwise.”

Offerpad is available in nearly 1,500 cities and towns across 21 markets with plans to enter more in 2022 beginning with Sacramento, Riverside and San Bernardino, California. As Offerpad expands, Taylor Morrison and Offerpad’s relationship is set to extend to all incoming markets where both companies operate.
