Changing the way homes are bought and sold isn’t going to be easy. For most people, this is the biggest transaction in their entire life. Traditional real estate agents are entrenched. Historically, they have controlled all access to homes and the ability to sell your home. But the process isn’t consumer friendly. Buyers and sellers feel pushed to buy and sell quickly, they feel there isn’t transparency, and they’re forced to pay high fees.

We want to put the consumer first. Ultimately, if people can buy and sell more easily with lower fees, we hope there will be more liquidity in the marketplace.

This is a $1.6T market with $16B paid annually in fees. It’s a huge market. We don’t take this challenge lightly.

We start all of our product efforts with listening and caring deeply about customer needs and jobs to be done. You can hear just how strong the pain is for yourself with a few user highlights here.

About the Team:

We’re a small but mighty company with 40 people. Currently the build team includes two product managers, four designers, and twelve engineers. Our team is a more senior team than you would find at a typical startup, as we wanted to build a culture where people can move independently in a relatively flat org structure.

We aim to hire Product Managers who are passionate about changing the way people buy and sell homes.
