How HOMII is paid

HOMII does not bill property owners. Professional fees stay negotiable directly with the professional. If you appoint a professional we introduce, HOMII may receive a referral fee from that professional.

Our arrangements in full

  • HOMII does not charge property owners for matching, shortlisting or introductions.
  • Participating professionals agree commercial terms with HOMII. Where an owner appoints a professional following a HOMII introduction, that professional may pay HOMII a referral fee, typically calculated as a share of their commission or management fee.
  • The referral fee is paid by the professional. Fees charged by a professional are always negotiable directly between you and them, and you should confirm their fee in writing before signing anything.
  • Commercial terms are set out in each professional's participation agreement. Referral arrangements do not decide eligibility or the Vibe Score, and a professional cannot buy a place in your shortlist.
  • We do not currently sell sponsored placement. If sponsored placement is introduced, it will be clearly labelled and will never override eligibility or the Vibe Score.

What this means for you

You pay HOMII nothing, at any stage. The fee a professional pays us is agreed individually between HOMII and that professional. HOMII does not add a separate owner charge; the professional's total fee remains negotiable and should be confirmed in writing. You are free to appoint someone we did not introduce, or nobody at all.

How this interacts with matching

Matching uses hard eligibility filters and a published weighted fit score, capped at 3 matches, with a person reviewing every shortlist before an introduction is made. Commercial terms are not an input to that process.

Conflicts of interest

Because we are paid by professionals rather than owners, there is an inherent commercial interest in an owner appointing someone we introduce. We manage that by keeping referral arrangements out of the matching logic entirely, by publishing our matching model, by capping introductions, and by requiring human review. If we ever cannot serve an owner well, our policy is to say so rather than make an introduction.
