The numbers speak for themselves: 🇺🇸 Operating in 16 major US markets including Austin, Denver, and Miami 🏡 Over 100,000 buyers assisted since 2020 ✅ $250M+ in sales generated for homebuilders 📈 90% of new construction inventory listed in their active markets Congratulations to CEO Dan Hnatkovskyy and the entire Jome team on this milestone! We at SID Venture Partners are proud to support their mission of becoming the leading marketplace for new construction homes in the US.
