These days, it’s harder than ever for marginalized buyers to break into the market. Prices are high, lending rules are tighter, and misinformation is everywhere. The path to homeownership can feel impossible.

Agents aren’t off the hook either. With all the changes to buyer representation and compensation, agents are being asked to prove their value in every single deal, while trying to serve clients who need more help than ever.

That’s where Midwest Home M@tch comes in.

We built an AI-powered referral network that connects agents with pre-approved, ready-to-go buyers. Especially those who qualify for down payment assistance, employer housing support, parishioner programs, and more. 

These aren’t just leads,  they’re matches. And the system is built to help agents close deals that would otherwise fall through the cracks.

What are some of the things you’ll get with Midwest Home M@tch? How is this referral network different? 

In this episode, I’m joined by creative design, brand development expert, and my partner in Midwest Home M@tch, Anita Clinton. 

We get into how this all works, how agents can plug in, and why the future of real estate might just be about matching people to money, not just homes.

If real estate agents implemented down payment assistance, 30% of deals that are canceled would be salvageable. -Marki Lemons Ryhal
