Let us get you home.

Start with a search or a conversation. We’ll take the next steps with you. Here is what happened for buyers who came before you.

What happened to the buyers before you

Selling, beating the asking price is the win. Buying, getting under it is. These are the buy-side numbers, and every one of them is in the MLS for anyone to check.

57%
of our buyers closed below the original asking price
$22.8M
total they paid under those original asking prices
4.2%
median saving when they came in under

Measured across the 392 buy-side closings where the MLS carries a usable original list price, 2012 to today, of 631 in total. 224 of the 392 closed under it. Two honest caveats. Some of that gap is a price the seller had already cut before we wrote an offer, which is why this says what our buyers paid rather than what we negotiated. Measured instead against the asking price on the day the offer went in, 358 purchases came in a combined $11.3M under. Both numbers are real and we would rather show you both than pick the flattering one.

Three of them, with the numbers attached

The three biggest gaps between what the seller first asked and what our buyer actually paid, in the last two years.
