SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
July 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- With
more home selling options available than ever before, knowing where
to start can be a challenge. Realtor.com®'s new Seller's
Marketplace empowers homeowners to sell their home their way and
allows them to compare information side-by-side and choose the
option that works best for their situation. At launch, consumers
can determine availability and be connected
with Opendoor,
EasyKnock, HomeGo
and WeBuyHouses.com, with more options
coming soon.
Realtor.com® is the only national home search site to compare
different selling options and enable consumers to determine the
right fit with just a few clicks. Users simply provide basic
information about their home and Seller's Marketplace will present
them with available options in their area. Homeowners will see
side-by-side estimates for sale price, timeline and more with no
upfront cost or commitment.
iBuying and sale-leaseback programs provide flexible
alternatives for consumers looking to move quickly, get fast access
to home equity or sell a home in need of TLC without having to do
updates. Realtor.com® connects consumers with companies who
specialize in these areas and allows homeowners to weigh factors
including estimated time-to-cash and potential profit.
"Seller's Marketplace is a one-stop shop for home selling
information, resources and connections," said David Masters, director of product management at
realtor.com®. "Rather than become an iBuyer ourselves, realtor.com®
aims to be a trusted and unbiased source that points consumers in
the right direction and enables them to make the right decisions
for their home and their family."
Seller's Marketplace educates people on several different
selling scenarios including instant offers, sale-leaseback programs
and listing the home on the open market. At launch, options
include:
- Sell Now via an instant offer with Opendoor
- Sell Now, Move later with EasyKnock
- Sell Now in Any Condition with HomeGo or WeBuyHouses.com
- List on the open market with an agent
"Even as retail, grocery, and financial services have gone
digital, the real estate transaction has remained mostly offline,"
said Tom Willerer, Chief Product
Officer at Opendoor. "With a simple idea to give consumers the
freedom to move on their own terms, we've created a digital
experience that removes the hassles of buying and selling a home.
And now, when a homeowner visits realtor.com to start their selling
journey, they can request an offer from Opendoor, realtor.com®'s
iBuyer partner as an alternative to selling their home on the open
market. We're looking forward to working with realtor.com to
provide a fully digital, safe and hassle-free selling experience
for even more homeowners."
Seller's Marketplace is now available at
realtor.com/sell/sellers-marketplace.
