Reinventing Homebuying: How Landy Uses AI to Help You Buy Real Estate Without an Agent
Last year, on a chilly fall evening, I sat in front of my computer for the umpteenth time, staring at Zillow. My dream property — a wooded spot near Nashville with a pond — was right there on my screen, yet it felt as distant as ever. My attempts to engage sellers with my offers, carefully crafted from online templates, but evidently lacking the realtor’s secret handshake, were met with silence. Reluctantly, I agreed to pay a 3% buyer’s agent fee, a decision that weighed on my budget, but finally opened the door to an accepted offer.
This journey was far from unique. With home prices soaring to near record highs, the financial impact of a system that keeps people paying real estate agent fees is becoming unbearable for many. High-stakes legal battles across the US and Canada are bringing these exorbitant costs ($30,000 on a $1 million home!) under scrutiny, highlighting a ripeness for disruption. But even with change on the horizon, the real estate industry and its large tech incumbents seem complacent, benefiting from a status quo that leaves buyers and sellers longing for a better alternative.
It became clear to me: The true value of a realtor today lies not in finding or even pricing properties — a task most of us can do just fine with online tools — but in bridging the gap between interest and transaction. This revelation sparked an idea, a solution to not just my frustrations but those of countless others. That solution is Landy.
