About Us

Homestead Road is a tech enabled company and a leading purchaser of single-family residential properties with operations in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Florida. Since 2007 the company has helped more than 2,000 homeowners sell their homes simply and stress-freely. Homestead Road’s competitive advantage is its ability to provide selling homeowners quick access to cash while allowing them to avoid the stresses of the complicated and tedious traditional home selling process. With Homestead Road, sellers also enjoy freedom from pricing, market risk, needing to pay for real estate commissions, and managing home improvement projects. After acquiring a property, Homestead Road makes necessary improvements and markets the property at a price typically attractive to first-time home buyers. Homestead Road has been recognized in the INC 5000 as one of America’s fastest growing companies for six years in a row.

The Homestead Road Story

Andrey Sokurec and Alex Delendik had a vision of creating a different kind of home buying company. Inspired by companies renowned for their customer service (think Zappos, Amazon, Disney, Costco and Nordstrom), they have built a culture dedicated to creating raving fans.

From no pressure sales appointments to thoughtful touches like bringing cookies to potential home sellers, Homestead Road provides best-in-class customer service from start to finish. Their goal is to educate customers and help them make the best decisions for themselves and create “Feel The Joy” experiences for everyone.

The Story Behind Our Logo

The Homestead Road logo is a watercolor painting of a house at the end of a road. The house pictured in the logo is an actual house that lies at the bottom of a man made reservoir that swallowed up the Western Massachusetts towns of Dana, Enfield, Prescott, and Greenwich.

Over 2,500 people were forced to give up their homes to make way for the reservoir. Deeply affected by the heart-wrenching story, artist Sue Chaffee decided to bring the lost homes back to life in watercolor paintings.

We recognized what she did as a great metaphor for what we do at Homestead Road, which is to find homes that need repair, to buy them “as is”, and to restore them back to life for future families.
