An Easier Way to Buy a Home? Yes, Please!

Prevu real estate

Buying a home is easily one of the most exciting times in a person’s life. It’s also among the most stressful.

There are endless meetings and phone calls with brokers, bankers, realtors, lawyers… all happening during the work day when you need to, you know, work! You’re expected to respond quickly to every question, while continuing to earn the income that will eventually pay for your home. It can be overwhelming, to say the least. Especially for parents, who are shuttling kids to and from school, play dates, and soccer matches in between scheduling house tours. But what if there was an easier way to buy a home, that took advantage of the modern conveniences of shopping online?

A New Way to Shop for Homes Online

With so many industries moving online, it was only a matter of time before the real estate sector caught up. But you don’t just want to browse listings online; you want the full purchase experience — or, at least, as much as possible — online.

What if, rather than seeking out a real estate agent to show you properties and schedule showings, you could set the criteria for what you’re looking for (and where), and get a daily alert with all of the new listings that meet your requirements? As you find homes you’d like to learn more about, you can set up a tour according to your schedule without ever leaving the site.

Prevu was designed to make this possible. As a tech-enabled brokerage, Prevu’s platform allows buyers to create an account that details what they’re looking for. The site then automatically serves up properties based on those qualifications. Buyers receive daily emails with new listings, as well as weekly wrap-ups featuring open house schedules for the weekend. As you find homes on the site that interest you, you can click to schedule a tour, and even make an offer directly through the platform. No phone calls; no hassle.

Home Buyer Commission Rebates: a Game Changer

The benefits of Prevu’s digital real estate platform go beyond convenience. Unlike a traditional brokerage that works solely off agent commissions, Prevu’s real estate agents are all salaried employees. This takes the pressure off them when it comes to chasing down new deals, and allows them to focus 100% of their time on helping customers find and buy their dream homes.

The benefits of having a salaried real estate agent go much further, however. This model allows Prevu to put money back into the pockets of home buyers after closing. Whereas a buyer’s agent might typically receive 3% of the purchase price as commission, Prevu buyers get back two thirds of that amount, which generally equals 2% of the purchase price. On average, Prevu customers receive a Smart Buyer Rebate of about $23,000 (though it varies depending on the purchase price).

Buying a Home in Fairfield County, CT

While Prevu got its start in NYC, it is quickly expanding throughout the region and currently has more than 5,700 active listings here in Fairfield County. A quick search reveals homes to fit just about any budget.

Whether you’re looking for a starter home to build your family, or a dream home that can accommodate kids, friends, and extended family (all at the same time!), there are literally thousands of options available on the platform. Just set up your account, choose your price range, select the desired number of bed/bathrooms, and see what’s listed in your custom feed. Once you find something you love, request a tour to see the property in person, and when you’re ready, make an offer directly on the platform.

Prevu’s agents are helpful and informative, and are there to lend a hand when you need it. No pushy sales tactics. No unsolicited calls. It’s a new approach to home buying.
