Sawbuck Realty

edit

Sawbuck Realty is an online real estate broker.

The company connects buyers and sellers with top local real estate agents, and streamlines their transactions.

Sawbuck’s site, service and model provide radical transparency and consumer value that is unique in the world of real estate.

The website gives users access to real–time MLS data, including active listings, contracts and recent sales.

The iPhone app offers sophisticated mobile home search, intended to function as a buyer’s primary search tool.

Sawbuck partners with local buyer’s agents (or teams of agents) in target communities. The company handpicks the very best agents, no matter their brokerage affiliation. Each of these local agents and teams have more than five years experience, have completed over 50 transactions, and were targeted based on their resumes and local reputation. Working with a top local agent is critical to getting the best deal on the right home.

Sawbuck is the first real estate company in the country to:

• Give users as much MLS information as possible the site, rather than holding it hostage to generate a “lead”;
• Connect buyers and sellers with the best local agents, regardless of broker affiliation.

Headquartered in Washington, D.C., Sawbuck currently serves Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Houston, Inland Empire, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Providence, San Diego, the SF Bay Area, and Washington, DC Metro Area real estate markets.
