Listy Realty gives you all the help you need… absolutely free. We basically do everything a traditional agent can do… but a million times easier. We answer all of your home buying questions, help create custom neighborhood and home searches, provide a list of comparable homes, and even contact a listing agent for you. Here’s what you need to do… kick back and relax.
HOW DOES LISTY REALTY HELP ME FIND MY DREAM HOME?
We take out the “guesswork” that you normally get with traditional agents. The ideal way to locate your new dream home is to monitor the market for new listings on a daily basis. Listy Realty provides a free, personalized feed that updates new listings the second they become available. Home buying just got way more fun.
HOW DOES LISTY REALTY HELP ME FIND MY DREAM HOME?
You bet we do! Now, it’s easiest to view a home during a scheduled open house. However, if you can’t make the open house and would like to do a walk-through at a more convenient time, then simply contact us and one of our agents will gladly show you the home. And keep in mind that some listings don’t allow private showings or may have limited showing opportunities.
Step # 2
YOU FOUND YOUR DREAM HOME. NOW MAKE AN OFFER ONLINE
Home buying hassle and sales tactics are the worst. That’s why Listy Realty lets you make a simple offer online in less than a minute, hassle free.
Did you feel that just now? That’s right… your home buying stress was just lifted off your shoulders.
Once your offer is complete, we’ll collect necessary documentation (e.g., proof of funds, pre-approval documents, etc.) and then assist with the submission and negotiation process. Taking it one step at a time. And before you know it, you’re living in your new home.
HOW DOES MY OFFER GET SUBMITTED TO THE LISTY REALTY AGENT?
We submit most offers through email. Then we hop on the phone and talk to the listing agent about the offer we just submitted. Everyone’s situation is different and we like to give them more in-depth details about the offer.
HOW MUCH SHOULD I OFFER?
Listy Realty uses the latest in data technology with a simple-to-use online platform that can help you see exactly what other nearby homes are going for. And if you need extra help (because it can sometimes get a bit tricky), we can easily provide individualized customer support no problem at all.

How and why does this work?
Traditionally, buyer agents spent most of their time searching for, finding, and securing access to properties for buyers. Most homebuyers used to find their home through their buyer agent, and this agent would typically earn a 3% commission from the seller. Nowadays, most buyers find their homes online, and agents are doing less work than ever, all while collecting the same high commission. We’re changing that.
So will I work with a full-service agent?
Absolutely! Our agent partners provide you with the top-tier service you deserve without any compromises, from private showings to putting together board applications and negotiating your offer. Better yet, thanks to leveraging technology to be more efficient, our partner agents are outperforming the competition and closing more deals, making them more experienced and better able to secure the best deal for you.
When do I receive my commission rebate?
You’ll receive your check at closing. In some cases, you may be asked to wait 1-3 business days to cash it.
Will I need to pay taxes on my rebate?
No, your commission rebate will not be considered taxable income.
