What exactly does this app do? How does it save me money? Will it be US only or available internationally?

We're LA and SF only for the time being. We save you money by refunding most of the buyer agent's commission (usually 3% of the total price). We're able to do this because we're automating a lot of the time consuming things normal agents such as pushing you listings as they come on the market.

How do you get the listing information? I assume you wont be connected into every realtor database so where are you pulling data from?

We have real-time listing data in LA and SF at the moment as broker members of a local MLS. The only real way to get quality data for a listing product is to connect to every realtor database.
