Sawbuck Realty is an online real estate broker.
The company connects buyers and sellers with top local real estate agents, streamlines their transactions and saves them money at every turn. Buyers who work with Sawbuck’s agent partners get a below-market mortgage with the lowest closing costs and settlement fees, saving thousands up front and hundreds more every year. Sellers receive a 20 percent refund of the listing agent’s commission at closing; saving $3,000 on a $500,000 sale, with a typical seller’s agent commission of three percent.
Sawbuck’s site, service and model provide radical transparency and consumer value that is unique in the world of real estate.
Headquartered in Washington, D.C., Sawbuck’s network of real estate agent partners currently serve the Maryland, Virginia, Washington, D.C. and Greater Los Angeles area markets. The company will expand into Texas and further into California in 2009.
