Why loan officers choose Homebot over Highway.ai

Loan officers choose Homebot for one bundled price, higher ongoing engagement, and a referral engine that Highway.ai's per-product suite does not include.

01

One plan instead of three add-ons

To match Homebot's engagement, Highway.ai users buy the Home Report at $169/mo, then stack MBS Highway ($199.95) and ListReports Elite ($249) for marketing and agent intel. Homebot Pro bundles the digest, buyer search, and co-sponsorship at $225/mo.

$225/mo vs $600+ stacked
02

Engagement, not a monthly artifact

Highway's Home Report is a monthly email. Homebot runs a living portal at a 75% open rate, with real-time alerts on price drops, new listings, and equity milestones that start conversations between sends.

75% open rate
03

A referral engine, not just reports

The Homebot Network pairs you with buyer's agents and splits cost 50/50 with co-sponsoring agents (RESPA-compliant). Highway pairs agents with LOs, and the LO pays for the agent's Home Report.

Co-sponsorship in every plan

Why real estate agents choose Homebot over ListReports

Agents choose Homebot for a branded client experience they own, real retention features, and built-in lender cost-share, not just free marketing graphics.

01

A homeowner portal, not free graphics

ListReports for agents is a free content tool: social shareables, listing flyers, and branded single-property sites. Free ListReports covers posting. A client equity report only comes if a paired LO pays for Home Report.

Retention, not just reach
02

A real plan you own

You own your subscription, your data, and your full feature set on Homebot, with Solo, Partner, and Team tiers from $25 to $100/mo. Lender cost-share is built in, so a co-sponsoring lender can cover part of the bill.

$25-$100/mo, agent owns it
03

A buyer experience off Zillow

Branded private home search keeps buyers in your portal. The mobile app gives every client a place to check their home value any time, with affordability calculators in every listing. ListReports has none of these.

Highway.ai vs Homebot FAQ

The questions loan officers, lenders, and real estate agents ask most when evaluating Highway.ai, MBS Highway, and ListReports against Homebot.

Is MBS Highway better than Homebot for client retention?

They are built for different jobs. MBS Highway is a rate-market tool for loan officers. Homebot is a client-retention and referral platform. If your goal is keeping past clients engaged and turning them into repeat and referral business, that is what Homebot is built for: a 75% monthly open rate, predictive seller insights, private home search, a mobile app, and a built-in referral network.

How much does Highway.ai cost compared to Homebot?

Homebot bundles homeowner engagement, buyer home search, and agent co-sponsorship into one plan: $125/mo Starter, $225/mo Pro, and $300/mo Unlimited, each with a $100 setup fee. Highway.ai charges per product, so matching Homebot means stacking the Home Report ($169/mo), MBS Highway ($199.95/mo), and ListReports Elite plus Agent Intel ($249/mo), which can run past $600/mo. For real estate agents, Homebot plans start at $25/mo with a co-sponsoring lender.

Can I keep my MBS Highway subscription and add Homebot?

Yes. They solve different problems, so you do not have to choose. Keep the rate tools you rely on, and let Homebot run your client retention and referrals in the background. Homebot is the piece that keeps past clients active every month and surfaces who is likely to transact, which MBS Highway does not do.

Does Highway.ai have a home search tool or a client mobile app?

No. Highway.ai's homeowner product, the Home Report, is a monthly email with no buyer home search and no client mobile app. Homebot includes a private branded home search that keeps buyers off Zillow, a mobile app for every client, and affordability calculators inside every listing.

Are MBS Highway's ListReports free for agents?

Yes, but the free ListReports account is a marketing-content tool. It gives agents social graphics and listing flyers, not a relationship with their clients. It has no branded homeowner portal, no home value or equity tracking, no home search, and no seller signals. Homebot gives agents all of that, a branded client portal, private home search, and a mobile app, for $25/mo when co-sponsored by a lender.

What does Homebot do that the Home Report does not?

The Home Report is a monthly email. Homebot is a living platform: a 75% open rate, real-time alerts on price drops and new listings, predictive seller insights, six prioritized opportunity lists, a buyer home search, and a mobile app. The Home Report informs your clients once a month. Homebot keeps them engaged and tells you who is about to transact.

Is Homebot a CRM?

No. Homebot is a homeownership platform for client retention and referrals that sits alongside your CRM, not in place of it. It connects natively to CRMs loan officers and agents already run on, including Follow Up Boss, Sierra Interactive, and Usherpa, with Salesforce and Total Expert available on Enterprise plans.
