Realtor.com partners with WeBuyHouses.com

[Omar Merced]

Just read this article. Will this affect local wholesalers? How about agents? What do you think?

I’m still amazed and trying to understand how an organization that uses the owns and uses REALTOR.com keeps on doing things that don’t benefit REALTORs and we still continue to feed them the data. Hats off to Jeremy Brandt, CEO of WeBuyHouses.com for the partnership.

Some excerpts from the article:

Instead of becoming an iBuyer itself, the home search site created partnerships with other iBuyers to offer more options to home sellers.

iBuying alternatives for sellers include an instant offer from Opendoor; Sell Now, Move Later with EasyKnock; WeBuyHouses.com’s HomeGo option, where homeowners can sell their home as-is; or homes can be listed traditionally on the market with an agent.

iBuying and sale-leaseback programs are made available to provide flexible alternatives for consumers looking to move quickly, get fast access to home equity or sell a home that needs repairs without worrying about that hassle.
