About HomeSmart Realty Group OR - Salem

In 2000, Matt Widdows, founder of HomeSmart, believed that the real estate industry had been left behind in technology and systems to support real estate agents in their day to day business needs. Agents and their clients lived and communicated online and they now expected to find answers and resources at their fingertips. Matt wanted to combine traditional real estate concepts with innovation and a technology approach. This thought gave birth to the HomeSmart “low-fee, high-value” brokerage model.

Matt believed in the opportunities the real estate industry provided and wanted a brokerage model that welcomed every individual. His vision was to utilize technologies that supported systems and services to make both the agent and the brokerage successful. This approach would provide long-term growth and stability for the brokerage and ensure success for the agent.

“Low-fee, high-value” brokerage services has deeper meaning to our mission. It’s who we are and guides everything we do. See, anyone can charge low fees but it’s the way that we are able to consistently deliver high value that is the real “secret sauce” that makes HomeSmart special.

Technology That Makes Real Estate Easy
HomeSmart’s technology stands apart from anything else offered in the real estate industry! Our systems minimize redundancies to make life easier for the agent and for the brokerage. At HomeSmart, we take pride in streamlining our technologies making it available to the end user with — our favorite term — “a click of a button”! With HomeSmart, technology and SMART execution is a way of life. It’s taking the time to do things right no matter how big or small the task, so our agents and brokerages have time to provide the best services available to their clients.
