Places Offers a Whole New Home Buying & Selling Experience

Real estate startup Places, is a San Jose based company, which began in 2015, and hopes to optimize the home buying and selling experience. In their own words, they’ve stated in a recent blog post “We’ve built a data-driven platform that makes it easy to thoroughly and quickly research homes, get to know neighborhoods, and make offers quickly — without a traditional realtor.”

Unlike sites like Zillow, Places isn’t just a place to list homes. It offers an easy and stress free way to navigate the housing market, which is notoriously competitive and unfriendly for first time homebuyers. “The experience can make you feel like a number…That’s not a great feeling when you’re talking about a transaction in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.” Places wants to change that. The company offers home buyers and sellers a simple platform to list and buy homes as well as offering a personalized, friendly community.

Most listings on Places sell within ten days or less. Selling a home on Places allows home buyers and sellers to avoid dealing with realtors, agents, and many other hassles previously associated with traditionally selling and buying a home. Sellers can, for instance, schedule viewings, upload photos, and manage all aspects of selling the home right from the Places website. Users can save money on the buying and selling process. Sellers can save 50% on commissions. Buyers receive a 1% rebate of the purchase price. More money means more spending power and less anxiety during the buying and selling process.

Places offers advising services for buyers, helping them navigate the home buying process. Whether they’re a first time home buyer or a veteran of the process, all home buyers receive the help they need without excessive paperwork or having to spend even more cash on commissions. Everything can now be done through Place’s innovative website.

More and more people are now using the Internet to purchase homes. This is why Places is taking advantage of technology to put home buying and selling in the hands of the people, not realtors. While the company is currently only based in San Jose and surrounding areas, Places plans on expanding throughout the country soon, spreading the ease of their platform to millions of Americans and simplifying the home buying and selling process through technology. Keep your eye on Places as it is primed to revolutionize the real estate market.
