Problem
Traditional real estate transactions often involve buyer's agent commissions, which can be a significant expense for homebuyers, averaging around 2.5% of the home's purchase price.

Many homebuyers lack comprehensive guidance and resources to navigate the complexities of the home-buying process independently.
