Company set to grow Denver, CO headquarters, increasing office space with plans to hire

Top agents and their clients flock to cash offer service that gives homebuyers and sellers certainty during market turmoil and increased competition

DENVER, Oct. 07, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BoardRE, a fintech lender leveling the playing field for homebuyers by upgrading any offer to an all-cash offer, today announced that it has changed its name to “Accept.inc.” The name change reflects the company’s mission to give buyers a better chance at having their offers accepted and help them become more competitive in a housing market that increasingly presents multi-offer situations.

Accept.inc believes every homebuyer should have equal access to the home of their dreams, without needing hundreds of thousands of dollars in the bank. The value in its service is in enabling homebuyers to make cash offers, giving them a leg up in highly-competitive housing markets and offering them significant discounts off list price in single-offer situations.

“We’re solving a two-sided problem for consumers,” said Adam Pollack, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Accept.inc. “Home sellers crave the speed and certainty of all-cash deals. Homebuyers can typically afford a loan, but often don’t have the cash to purchase the home outright. Our mission is to give homebuyers a better shot at having their offers accepted and ensure home sellers don’t need to accept anything less than a cash offer for the most important transaction of their lives.”

“We’ve seen it all with our service: from first-time homebuyers beating out more than 20 offers to VA (Veterans Affairs) buyers winning against other cash buyers. Home has never been more important than right now during COVID-19 and, therefore, our commitment to leveling the playing field is even more critical,” said Nick Friedman, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Accept.inc. “And we believe the new company name better reflects that.”

The company also announced it is expanding its headquarters location in the Cherry Creek neighborhood of Denver, CO. The new location boasts nearly 6,000 square feet of office space and will accommodate the company’s expanding workforce, which has already grown to more than 34 full-time employees (a five-fold increase year-over-year) and will increase further as the company plans to hire in the near-term, including experienced loan officers, transaction managers, software engineers, and more. The company’s founders chose to build and grow their business in Denver not only to support their mission of creating a truly universal cash offer that could serve a wide range of buyers and price points, but also because of its rapidly growing technology and venture ecosystem.

Accept.inc has bought and sold over $100 million worth of homes on its platform and its business is on pace for well over a thousand percent growth year-over-year, making it one of the fastest growing mortgage companies in Colorado. Accept.inc uses its cash to buy homes on behalf of buyers. Once a buyer’s loan with Accept.inc is ready to close, Accept.inc sells the home to them at the price it was purchased for, typically in two weeks or less. Because Accept.inc generates revenue as the mortgage lender, it does not add costs to buyers, sellers, or real estate agents who leverage its cash offer service. In enabling homebuyers to give all-cash offers, Accept.inc also offers homebuyers an average discount off list price three to four times the average discount of buyers submitting mortgage offers in single-offer situations.

“If I can come in with cash and offer the seller a seven-day guaranteed close in the middle of COVID-19, I’m not just winning the deal, but I am locking down the lowest price, building instant equity for my buyers,” said Taylor Wilson, a real estate agent featured recently as part of the #1 producing small team in Denver at Compass. “Once you do this, the value and benefit of a cash offer becomes so clear. This service is spreading like wildfire throughout Denver metro and beyond.”
