CatapultReviews of catapult.homes

The Catapult Homes team with Ankur at the helm was just what I needed to help me navigate through my tricky situation, and as it turned out, a tricky market. They offer a well-crafted program that features the best elements compared to various borrowing options and the buy-first-sell-later options. Using Catapult's services, I was able to get my mortgages paid off, get additional funds to work with, and get help selling my home of 30 years -- all without me having to pay for any of it until my house got sold. Intelligent partnership without the greed and hefty price tag is how I would describe what I experienced with Catapult. Opposite to the predatory behavior I experienced with the company behind one of my prior mortgages, which Catapult's funds actually paid off for me, with Catapult Homes I enjoyed a symbiotic relationship wherein I felt that Ankur and his team genuinely cared about what was in my best interests -- a truly rare and exceptional quality in this industry.

We were about to lose our dream house. Catapult saved the day. Review: When we first reached out to Catapult in June, we were in a situation that felt almost impossible. We owned a home in the East Bay that we had purchased and had substantial equity but it was tied up in the house. We wanted to move to Lafayette and found our dream home there and made an offer contingent on the sale of our current home. The seller accepted, which was incredibly exciting, but then our home didn't sell quickly enough. We thought we'd lost the Lafayette house. That's when the listing agent introduced us to Catapult and what happened next honestly changed the entire experience for us. We reached out and they replied right away. They stepped in with capital that let us close on the new home without waiting for our old one to sell. That alone saved the deal. But what stuck with me even more was how they handled the entire process itself. We sent them many emails and texts, asking for sample contracts, pricing breakdowns, every "what if" scenario we could think of, and they answered fast, clearly, and never made us feel like we were asking too much. They earned our trust. When our second payment came through after our home sold, it actually arrived earlier than they'd promised, which felt like a small thing but says lot about how Catapult operates and treats its clients. For us, Catapult was not just a financial solution. They solved a very real problem at exactly the moment we needed it, and they gave us not just capital but confidence and peace of mind. We went from genuinely thinking we had lost the Lafayette house to buying it, moving into it, and now happily calling it home.

Our home purchase wasn't a simple, fast closing, non-contingent deal as is so common in the Bay Area. We were looking in Marin/Sausalito and wanted to upgrade our home from our townhome to a single family and were focused on a special home and not a cookie cutter home. We were approved for Catapult's financial product if we needed it, and Catapult represented us on the buying side as well. When we made our offer, we had a 14-day inspection period, and with it came a long list of questions around structural, drainage, and a handful of other. This is exactly where Catapult earned our trust and shined. Every question we sent got a real, thoughtful answer, and not a canned response pulled from a script, but something that showed they'd actually thought through our specific situation. And their turnaround time was consistently fast, even when we were sending questions late at night or over the weekend or when I was abroad. During a period that can feel stressful and uncertain, it made a huge difference to have someone in our corner who was both quick to respond and genuinely sharp about the details. We never felt like we were just another file. We felt like we had a smart, motivated advocate working the deal alongside us. That combination of responsiveness and real expertise is hard to find, and it's why we'd recommend Catapult without hesitation.

We always wondered if it was possible to move home and to move home equity at the same time. This combination seemed much more attractive than paying all cash for a new home, having concurrent mortgages, or renting for an indeterminate period after selling. When we found Catapult in August 2025, it was immediately clear they had the answer. With Catapult both providing capital and acting as our buyer's agent, we felt extremely confident visiting properties, getting disclosures, discussing comps, and deciding if (not when -- never any pressure from Catapult) to make an offer. The speed and quality of service from Catapult was exceptional at all times. We ended up winning a home we loved in a competitive situation, with Catapult and our bank lender working together to support our offer. We swiftly listed our old home (using a listing agent we chose -- again no pressure from Catapult) and everything went exactly as Ankur said it would. What stood out with Catapult is that they understand the actual problem faced by homeowners and have built an elegant combination of product and service to solve it efficiently.

We were looking to expand from a condo to a larger single family and came to the conclusion that unless we sold our condo first to cash out the equity in it, we could not buy a new home. Unfortunately, this plan would require us to sell the home we were living and settled into, then move out into some new apartment, and pay rent until we found a new place and if we changed our mind, we could not stay in our home either since we would have already sold it. All of this was simply a bad setup. Our agent told us that there is a better way, and he was right, and that is Catapult. When we reached out to Catapult, they explained their product clearly to us and proved to be very responsive every time during our months of communication after that. With the Catapult proof of funds letter, we won an offer on a new home and after buying that home and moving in, we put our condo up for sale. During the sale, a couple hiccups and unforeseeable events happened, and Catapult remained professional and patient with us. We never paid them anything out of pocket, received no bills, never got any pressure. They simply collected their fee after our home sold and sent us our Second Payment quickly, during the Christmas holiday season when many businesses are closed or operating slowly. It was an amazing experience and we are so grateful for their help. Ankur and the team are fantastic and we recommend Catapult to all homeowners.

As a busy family with kids living in the Dublin/San Ramon area, we simply outgrew our home. It was three stories with limited outdoor space, and we wanted a large single family home with a great backyard. However, we were a bit stuck and the math did not work unless we sold our place and moved into some apartment part time while house hunting. This was absolutely a non-starter option for us. Catapult's model is so simple. We had an intro call, they visited our home which was free with no paperwork to sign, and we received their letter of intent outlining everything. That's all! And we went house hunting right after that. Amazing process. A friend of ours worked with Catapult and had only great things to say. We're so happy he told us about Ankur & the Catapult team. They answered all of our questions patiently and openly, never making us feel pressured or rushed. As I told Ankur, we simply could not have done it without them. Their funds helped finance the whole transaction, and they were also our buyer's agents on the new home and did a wonderful job as agents too. Just like my friend recommended Catapult to me, I want to recommend Catapult to any homeowner looking to buy a new home, for the finance product or for the buyer's agent product or for both.

We first reached out to Catapult almost exactly a year ago, in November 2024. We met Ankur in person at our home and had several questions about the process, which he and his team answered very directly without pressuring us in any way. The first thing that made me feel assured about the process is that their contracts are simply written and easy to understand. We knew our search was not going to be straightforward, because a couple of homes meeting our criteria come up in the Los Altos/Los Altos Hills area in a month. Catapult was extremely helpful along the way, showing us multiple interesting off-market homes and doing really helpful analysis for any home we were interested in that went beyond just sending us the cookie cutter comp sheets. The whole team, top to bottom, is professional and client focused. They know the Peninsula and the Bay Area really well. Most importantly, we never felt any kind of pressure from them whatsoever, even when we weren't finding the right home despite looking at 20+ houses. But then finally when the perfect house came up, we felt very confident in making a good offer with them in our corner. Catapult sent us multiple millions to enable the new home purchase and new home mortgage approval, and our Catapult fee in the end was $0. Seriously. It's pretty amazing to get that much money and this amazing service and pay nothing out of pocket on top of that. Our listing agent was then able to showcase our home well, given we had already moved into our new home, and it also sold well above list price. All in all, we truly are grateful for the whole Catapult team, and this product is one of the best out there for homeowners buying a new home.

We are a busy couple, both working in senior roles at big tech companies and raising two babies. We loved our home, but wanted better public schools and a bigger home for our expanding family. One option was to simply sell a bunch of assets, pay a bunch of taxes on it, and go from there. But this is clearly not a great solution. Thankfully, we found Catapult. With Catapult's capital, we did not need to incur any taxes on asset sales and they helped us get our mortgage at a great rate, too. Amazingly, for these millions of dollars of capital, we had an option to pay no fee to Catapult, too. They served as our buyer's agent, and the service was world class. They really know the Bay Area well and are very thoughtful with their analysis on homes we liked, both qualitatively and quantitatively. After we bought the new home, they helped us find our listing agent, and we achieved a sale well above listing price. So Catapult truly handled everything for us, and made this process so much smoother and lower stress. In the end, their capital helped fund the purchase, we got an amazing new home at a great price, and sold our prior home for a very strong price. One simply could not ask for more. Thanks again to Ankur and the team.
