Ben Kubic, a recent Harvard Business School graduate, noticed that real estate agents didn’t provide the value his peers were looking for when selling a home. After talking with hundreds of home sellers and buyers, he decided there was a better way.

The result was the first virtual real estate agent, catered towards home sellers looking for an easier, more cost-effective way to sell their home. Ben teamed up with Jude Rasmus, a 25 year veteran of the real estate industry and a Wall Street Journal Top 3 Broker, to form Virgent Realty and reform a broken industry.

Virgent’s online platform provides a step-by-step process that walks home sellers through the necessary aspects of selling their house. In addition to providing the on-demand services of a licensed realtor, Virgent’s flat fee includes a professional home valuation, photographs, and closing support.

We at Rough Draft Ventures are excited about Virgent because we believe Ben has identified a long underserved market. He has put together a team with both great technical and real estate backgrounds. Virgent is launching at the end of June in Atlanta, and will soon be expanding nationally to offer a better solution to anyone looking to sell their home.
