Newfound

The Newfound Group parent company is changing real estate by putting the consumer first and simplifying homebuying and home selling. After experiencing the frustrations of dealing with traditional agents, Mike Maher, CEO and founder of Newfound, knew there had to be a better way. That's why he founded Houwzer, with a mission to prioritize the needs of consumers. Thanks to Houwzer's innovative one-stop-shop model, the transaction experience is now seamless, with in-house title and mortgage services. But that's not all. Houwzer has expanded across the eastern seaboard and recently acquired Trelora, extending its coverage to the midwestern and Pacific states. Under the umbrella of the parent company The Newfound Group, we are making the home buying and selling process simple again. By offering a fair and transparent approach to real estate, we're putting the power back in the hands of consumers. Join the movement and discover the difference with Newfound.
