The Purpose of Homage

When you leave a house, apartment, or dorm, the walls get painted, furniture moved out, and new tenants are ushered in.

Your memories fade.

These memories, fragile and unique, can’t be experienced again, despite people living in the same square footage you were.

You knew which stair creaked.

You cooked your first real meal.

You found your people.

You fell in love.

You fell apart, and rebuilt.

You threw the best party of your life.

and then you left.

What if you could leave it all in a time capsule for others to experience?

Homage is the gateway for this. Not only are there millions of stories to share, but the memories of the past may serve the tenants of the future.

Homage is a way for you to know a bit below the surface of the objective details presented when shopping real estate. Thanks to the past, you know just a little bit more about your new home before you step into it, and that can make all the difference.
