Stop scrolling for listings.

Start connecting to sellers.

Until now, there was no way for you to see beyond the market of listed homes. Whoovia gets you noticed and connects you to real sellers months before they formally list.

Get Early Access

Here’s the problem: Traditional property searches only show a fraction of willing sellers.

But there’s good news: If introduced to the right buyer, an estimated 4 million pre-market owners would happily sell privately this year.

We built Whoovia to give you access to these properties before they are listed.

HOW IT WORKS

FAQs

Nope. Nada. Nothing: Whoovia doesn’t charge you to create a profile, connect with sellers, or negotiate using our tools. We also don’t take a piece of your agent commissions as a referral fee.
When a seller sells off-market, they are saving thousands of dollars in commissions. In many metropolitan areas, the savings can be close to $75,000 when you add what a seller spends just getting their home ready for a traditional online sale. Even compared to what they might get as a result of a bidding war, the off-market deal typically ends up putting more money in their pocket. Check out our calculator here to get a sense of the seller savings at your price range.
In addition to the monetary value of an off-market deal, sellers also enjoy not having to spend months worth of nights and weekends preparing their home. With Whoovia, most sellers can clean the house as though they are having guests over, and set up a private showing with you, saving time, and reducing stress.
We’ve also found that sellers enjoy being able to control the timing of their sale in a way that’s far more difficult when they are subject to a traditional MLS sale.
Just like any fiduciary - attorneys, financial advisors, doctors - this is between you and your agent. Since the majority of homes that are not listed have not advertised a willingness to pay a buyer agent commission, it’s typical that you will compensate them as your agent. Experienced agents are accustomed to finding a way to allow their clients to pay them. In an off-market situation, a client will often pay their agent as part of their closing costs at the time of settlement. They may also structure the deal to amortize the cost of the commission into their loan. Ask your agent what makes the most sense for your circumstances. Since they are introducing you to inventory you would have not had access to without them, their value is pretty clear.
It’s all about measuring interest. Your agent will be able to share with you the number of views on your profile, how many owners save you to their favorites, and how many shares your profile has too. Your agent will also be able to monitor new buyers in the market, and how you are competitively positioned. Armed with data, you’ll be able to see the playing field, change strategy as needed, and make better decisions.
