Simplifying Real Estate Through Consumer Empowerment & Transparency.
Old Model
-
Outdated brokerages and agents have the power.
​
-
Too expensive (5% to 6%).​
​
-
Each party is encouraged to have its own agent doubling the cost to transact.​
​
-
Sellers offer an arbitrary commission to an unknown buyer agent.​
​
-
Sellers pay a buyer agent who works for the buyer and negotiates against them.
​
-
Sellers pay a buyer agent who shows all of the competing properties.​
​
-
​Sellers are told if they don't offer a buyer agent commission then buyer agents won't show their property.
​
-
Buyers are told they need a buyer's agent.
​
-
Buyers are told their agent is free.
​
-
No transparency with offers.
​
-
Little to no transparency with sales data.
Our Model
-
We empower consumers.
​
-
Consumers only pay for the services they need.
​
-
When a property is marketed with full transparency we don't need a buyer agent and a seller agent.
​
-
Sellers are encouraged to rethink offering a buyer agent commission upfront.
​
-
All properties listed by Local include a pre-listing property inspection.
​
-
All properties listed by Local include professional virtual tours and professional photography.​
​
-
Buyers learn how to buy directly from seller.
​
-
Buyers buying new construction get a buyer rebate. (thousands of dollars towards a new house!)
​
-
Full transparency with offers.
​
-
Full transparency with sales data.
