Frequently Asked Questions
Company
How does Wahi work?
Wahi is a digital real estate platform that redefines the home buying and selling experience by putting more power into your hands.
By combining cutting-edge tech and market data with expert Realtors, you’ll get unmatched access to insights, tools, and the team that make buying or selling your dream home faster and easier.
How does the Wahi Cashback program work?
When you buy your next home with an in-house Wahi Realtor – you can get up to 1% cashback of the sale price back in cash after closing.
When a home is purchased, the commission is typically paid by the seller to both sides of the deal. Wahi, the buyer’s brokerage, will receive our share of the commission from the listing brokerage after the transaction is completed. For example, if we receive 2.5% of the sale price in commission, we would give 1.0% to the buyer in cashback.
Our digital business model means we create efficiencies and pass the operational savings onto you. For more information, click here.

Buying and Selling
How can Wahi help me buy a home?
You can browse property listings, and set up property alerts to help you get your home search started. Download the Wahi House Hunting App to get personalized real estate listings and open houses in your area. You can also invite your co-buyer to collaborate and find your dream home together right in the app. When you’re ready to buy a home, we’ll connect you to a Realtor who best suits your needs, whether that’s with the Wahi Cashback program that offers cashback or with one of our Partner Realtors who specializes in their local area.
How does Wahi recommend Realtors who will meet my needs?
Wahi’s AI recommendation engine does the heavy lifting to match you with the perfect Realtor for your property search area. We’ll only recommend local Realtors with the right expertise, in the right location.
What’s the difference between a Wahi Cashback Realtor and a Partner Realtor from your network?
Wahi’s in-house Realtors do more deals and bring that negotiating power into your corner, when it comes to buying your dream home. Our Realtors leverage technology to get you more insights, move faster, and simplify the process.
Wahi Realtors are salaried, licensed experts offering digital services, and instead of meeting you at the property, we send a licensed Tour Assistant to meet you there. This digital model enables us to pass operational savings back to you as cashback after closing.
A Partner Realtor provides expert local knowledge and personally accompanies you to all your home showings. Wahi only partners with proven local Realtors, so you know you’re in good hands.
How can Wahi help me sell my home?
If you are looking to sell your home, Wahi can provide an accurate instant home value estimate to help you shape your selling strategy. You can even track your home’s value over time to monitor the market and pick the right moment to sell.
We can also connect you with a proven Realtor in your local area, who can help provide a more customized home value estimate, as well as help you successfully sell your home. Learn more here.
How accurate is Wahi’s home value estimate?
Wahi’s instant home value estimate is 90% accurate at estimating the value of your home. Our AI is constantly learning and improving its accuracy to ensure that we provide the best results. Keep in mind that markets fluctuate and that this is an estimation.
For a more customized home estimate, Wahi can connect you with a Realtor in your area who can layer their local knowledge to your instant estimate.
