It Shouldn't Be a Nightmare

Slide 1 of 12

"We had no idea how to interview agents. A work colleague suggested an agent and we used him. Big mistake!"

"The mortgage process was very unsettling. It was like a roller coaster ride in the dark."

"It was difficult determining which inspection issues were major. Was our agent minimizing the problems just to move the sale forward? I didn’t trust her."

"My agent wouldn’t tell me what was a good offer price. I had to do my own market analysis."

"Waiving or limiting inspections and appraisals was unnerving. What risks were we bearing?"

"I felt extremely nervous wiring money. I received different wiring instructions - one from my agent and the other from the title company."

"We didn't know where to look for the right home. Most agents couldn't guide us. They were worthless."

"When we finally got under contract, I was concerned that I missed something. It felt like buyer’s remorse."

"Early in the process, I wanted to know how much cash I needed for the downpayment and any other costs. I couldn't get a clear answer."

'We had lots of questions. It was rare for us to get a timely answer. I felt like I was annoying my Realtor and loan officer."

"I was constantly asking – 'How long until we hear back?' and 'What do we do next?'"

"Attorneys aren’t involved in real estate purchases in my state. I felt vulnerable signing all the papers at closing."

Find & Work With an Exceptional Agent



We believe the key to a great home buying experience is working with an exceptional agent.

An agent with deep local expertise, who understands the nuances that matter, and has a proven track record of guiding buyers to success.

An agent who puts buyers first.

No egos. No pushy sales tactics. No “deal breath!”

But, there's a problem. It's nearly impossible for buyers to find these agents.

That’s why we built SmartBuyers AI.

Through our professional network, we handpick and personally interview only the best. It's a time-consuming, old-school process, and it works.

Our highly-vetted agents genuinely care about their buyers.

We connect buyers to these agents through our AI-powered chatbots and one-on-one consultations.

The result... buyers work with exceptional agents and become happy homeowners.
