FirstHome IQ is the housing industry's 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We give housing professionals the education platform that turns confused renters into confident buyers, with them as the guide the buyer chooses first.
The next generation wants to own a home, and most were never taught how. They're drowning in information they can't verify, from TikTok, Reddit, and ChatGPT, and only 1 in 8 trust a housing professional not to take advantage of them. So they stall, they ghost, and many never start. The average first-time buyer is now 40 years old, the oldest on record.
Confusion is a design flaw, not a character flaw. Nobody is bad at this. The material is bad, and the system never taught it. That reframe is the whole organization.

Three programs, one gap. The work compounds in this order.
