About ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍø

±¬ÁϳԹÏÍø is radically simplifying the home buying and selling experience from search to close. Traditionally, homeowners looking to purchase their next home face a stressful and uncertain process—they have to either sell their old home first and move twice or buy as a contingent buyer and risk not getting their dream home. ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍø pioneered the “buy before you sell” model in real estate with its Move First offering: after enabling the customer to move into their new home, ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍø sells their old home for top dollar. The company’s Offer Boost option is particularly attractive to customers in competitive markets by giving them the option of using ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍø’s cash to secure their dream home. Cash offers are more likely to be accepted by sellers—a huge benefit in the current highly competitive market environment. ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍø’s products and services have transformed the home buying and selling experience with AI-powered home search and a vertically-integrated platform with ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍø Home Loans, ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍø Title, and ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍø Insurance, offering an all-digital closing for customers. ±¬ÁϳԹÏÍø is headquartered in New York City and offers its services in Colorado, Georgia, Texas, North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland.
