About Houwzer
Houwzer is a modern, socially responsible real estate and mortgage brokerage designed for savvy homeowners. The company operates primarily in the residential real estate market, serving both home buyers and sellers. Houwzer's business model is built around providing a customer-centric experience through the use of technology and a team of full-service, salaried agents and mortgage advisors. Unlike traditional commission-based models, Houwzer employs salaried agents who focus on the client's goals rather than their own paycheck. This approach helps home buyers find the best home for their needs, while home sellers save an average of $15,000 through Houwzer's flat fee listing service. The company promotes its home listings across major real estate platforms such as MLS, Zillow, Trulia, and Realtor.com. Houwzer generates revenue through its flat fee listing service, which costs $5,000 plus 2.5% to the buyer's agent, all paid at closing. Additionally, the company offers mortgage advisory services, further streamlining the home buying and selling process. Houwzer is committed to giving back to the community and maintains an average rating of 4.9 out of 5 stars from over 850 clients.
