OUR STORY

HOMEstretch is a Cincinnati-based service company founded by Derek Shewmon and Nick Lobert, two Cincinnati-born entrepreneurs. They created HOMEstretch for homeowners to have one point of contact when preparing a home to sell.

Derek and Nick quickly found that HOMEstretch’s comprehensive service offerings were invaluable to their clients because a difficult life transition is, a lot of the time, associated with a move. Our goal is to help eliminate the stress of preparing a home to sell while moving, downsizing, dealing with a loved one’s estate, or transitioning into an assisted living home.
