9 startups helping homebuyers and sellers save money on traditional real estate agents
New platforms are disrupting real estate by providing homebuyers and sellers options, sometimes helping them avoid real estate agents entirely.
Nine startups are helping homebuyers and sellers save money by bypassing traditional real estate agents. Vicki Lynn saved $7,000 when she bought a Florida home using Homa, an AI-powered buying platform that charges a flat fee and writes contracts for buyers. Beycome, founded by Nico Jodin, serves as a one-stop shop for homebuyers and sellers, acting as a broker and crediting the buyer after taking 1% of the commission.
Clever Real Estate, founded in 2017, offers flat-fee rates of 1.5% and works with full-service real estate agents from various brokerages. Galleon, an off-market, for-sale-by-owner residential marketplace, removes brokers and agents entirely, potentially saving sellers $30,000 or more. These startups aim to give homebuyers and sellers a few different options in the post-NAR world.
