What Makes SellBuyMe Different

Three reasons SellBuyMe is unlike anything else in real estate — and why it matters for you.

Actually Free. No Catch.

No BS.

Agents take commissions. Discount brokers charge fees. FSBO sites charge listing fees. Rebate services still take a cut. SellBuyMe doesn’t charge buyers or sellers a single dollar. No fine print. No hidden fees. Actually free. Full stop.

Buy and Sell Directly.

No Middleman. No Hassle.

On other major real estate platforms, you’re not the customer — you’re the product. You are the inventory they market and sell to agents. Contact a seller directly? Impossible. Bypass agent representation? Not likely. They’re built for agents, not people. FSBO sites aren’t much better. MLS access you pay for sounds empowering until a buyer’s agent walks in and collects a commission anyway. SellBuyMe is fundamentally different. Buyers and sellers connect directly — no agents, no commissions. You do the work either way. Here, you keep the reward. The way it should always be.

Simple. Powerful. Yours.

Real estate doesn’t have to be overwhelming. The tools, resources, and access to vetted service providers are built right into the app. When you need professional support, our vetted service providers are ready — no unsolicited calls, no strangers competing for your business. Just the right professionals, on your terms. Powerful enough to handle everything. Simple enough that you won’t need help figuring it out.

About SellBuyMe

Built To Serve People. Not Agents.

SellBuyMe was founded on a simple but radical idea — that buying and selling a home shouldn't cost you thousands of extra dollars due to agent commissions. We built the platform we wished existed. One where buyers and sellers connect directly, keep their money, and navigate one of life's biggest transactions confidently on their own terms.

We're Free. Here's How.

SellBuyMe is completely free for buyers and sellers — and we want to be transparent about how that's possible. We don't charge you to use the platform or nickel and dime you with various fees. Instead, we've built a network of preferred service providers — mortgage lenders, real estate attorneys, home inspectors, photographers, and more. That's how we keep it free for you — and how we keep the lights on. You're not required to use them. They're simply there when you need them.

That's it. No hidden fees. No fine print. No agents or middlemen taking a cut. Just a marketplace that works for the people using it.

Why We Exist.

The real estate industry was built around agents. And while newer platforms promised a better way, most still find a way to charge you — listing fees, transaction fees, subscription fees, a la carte fees, or commissions by another name. The middleman just changed clothes. We think that's wrong. You do the work either way. You should keep the reward.

SellBuyMe is the answer to all of that — built for the way real estate should always be.

The Movement Starts Here.

SellBuyMe will be launching in Ohio with plans to expand to additional states shortly after. The industry won't change itself — so we're changing it. Every buyer and seller who joins makes the movement stronger. We're glad you're here to be part of it.

FAQ

How much money would I save using SellBuyMe?

A lot. On a $500,000 home, sellers can save up to $30,000 and buyers can save up to $15,000 due to agent commissions. Now imagine keeping it and what you could do with your money instead.

Is SellBuyMe really free?

Yes — completely. No listing fees, transaction fees, one-off fees, hidden fees, or commissions. Ever. No catch. No BS.

How does SellBuyMe make money if it's free?

We’ve built a network of preferred service providers — that’s how we make our money. We don’t take a dollar from you.

Do I need a real estate agent to use SellBuyMe?

No — that’s the whole point. Buyers and sellers connect directly on SellBuyMe. No agents. No commissions. You’re in control of your transaction from start to finish.

Is it legal to buy or sell a home without a real estate agent?

Yes, absolutely. Agent-free transactions are completely legal and happen every day.

Where is SellBuyMe available?

SellBuyMe is launching in Ohio with expansion to additional states shortly after. Not in Ohio? Join our waitlist, tell us where you are, and make your voice heard — you help decide where we go next.

How do I sell my home on SellBuyMe?

Download the app, create your account, and follow the listing creation flow — your listing can be live in just minutes. Share it across your social media and other platforms to get in front of even more buyers.

How does a seller connect with a buyer or schedule showings?

Once your listing is live, interested buyers can reach out directly through in-app messaging. From there you can answer questions, schedule tours, and manage your availability — all directly in the app. No middleman, no delays.

What if the home I want isn't listed on SellBuyMe?

You can still use SellBuyMe. Share your invite link with the seller, invite them to list their property in the app, connect and work through it directly together — free for everyone. Even if they choose not to join, you can still use the app to track and manage your buying process and leverage the tools and resources available to you.

How does the offer process work?

Buyers submit a price offer directly to the seller through the app. The seller can accept, counter, or reject it — all through in-app messaging. Once a price offer is accepted, both parties can share the documents needed to get the deal across the finish line. Need help with the docs? You can easily connect with a real estate attorney to draft and review the Purchase Agreement, Seller’s Disclosure, and everything in between.

Do I need a real estate attorney?

Not required — but strongly advisable. Legal documents are a critical part of every real estate transaction, including the Purchase Agreement and Seller’s Disclosure among others. Connecting with an attorney can be invaluable in protecting your interests and helping ensure a smooth closing — particularly in states that require attorney involvement. SellBuyMe makes it easy to connect with a real estate attorney directly through the app.

How much does a real estate attorney typically cost?

Costs can vary based on your location and what’s required in your state but typically range from $500 to $1,500 — significantly less than what agent commissions cost you. Working with a real estate attorney also provides legal protection that an agent simply cannot offer.

Does SellBuyMe help with the mortgage or financing process?

SellBuyMe is not a licensed mortgage lender or bank — but we know financing is a critical step in the process. That’s why we’ve made it easy to connect with a licensed mortgage lender directly through the app to explore your options and get pre-approved.

Does SellBuyMe help with home inspections?

We do. While SellBuyMe is not a licensed home inspection company we know an independent inspection is an important step before finalizing any purchase. That’s why we’ve made it easy to connect with a licensed home inspector directly through the app.

What are preferred service providers?

Preferred service providers are the vetted professionals available to buyers and sellers directly through the SellBuyMe app — mortgage lenders, real estate attorneys, home inspectors, photographers, and more. You’re never required to use them. They’re simply there when you need them, on your terms.

What types of services are available through the preferred service provider network?

Mortgage and financing, real estate attorney services, home inspections, and photography — with more being added. We’re constantly working to bring more services directly to your fingertips right in the app.

How do I access and connect with preferred service providers?

Preferred service providers are accessible through the Tools & Services section of the app or through the relevant step in your buyer or seller journey. Simply tap to connect — no unsolicited calls, no strangers competing for your business. Just the right help, when you need it.

What's the benefit of using one of SellBuyMe's preferred service providers?

Personalized, white-glove service when you need it — without the baggage. On most other platforms, submitting a request for information means your data gets sold to multiple bidders and your phone doesn’t stop ringing with calls from companies you didn’t ask to hear from. That doesn’t happen here. We don’t sell your information. You connect with who you choose when you choose.

Can I use my own service providers?

Yes. You’re never required to use SellBuyMe’s preferred service providers. They’re simply there as a convenient option when you need them.

How does SellBuyMe protect buyers and sellers?

All buyers are required to verify their identity before messaging a seller or scheduling a tour. Sellers are required to verify their identity and certify ownership of their property before publishing a listing. Both measures help keep the SellBuyMe marketplace safe and trusted for everyone.
