Wahi’s data-driven recommendation engine helps you compare top REALTORS® in your local area and their offers, such as fees and services, before you connect with them.

Wahi makes money in two ways. If you buy a property with one of our Wahi agents, we make money through real estate commission fees. Or, if you choose to buy or sell with one of the top REALTORS® in Wahi’s network, Wahi will get paid a referral fee upon closing, which is a percentage of the REALTOR®’s commission. Wahi does not sell leads to REALTORS® or get paid by REALTORS® to advertise on our site. We only make money when a home is purchased or sold.

You don’t need an account to browse our listings. However, creating an account will allow you to get the most out of your Wahi experience, such as access to agent-level property insights and to get matched with top REALTORS® in our network.

Wahi’s customer ambassadors are available to answer your questions via chat or phone and can easily connect you to a Wahi real estate agent if you have more specific real estate questions. Get in touch.

You can browse property listings, and set up property alerts to help you get your home search started. Download the Wahi app to get personalized real estate listings and open houses in your area. When you’re ready to buy a home, we’ll connect you to top local REALTORS® that best suit your needs, giving you the opportunity to compare their offers and choose your best match.

Wahi’s MyBuy program gives you access to a top-notch virtual Wahi real estate agent who will help you buy your home. You will get up to 1.0% of the sale price back in cash after close – this translates to an average of $10K* back in your pocket. Every eligible property has the cashback amount listed right on the property. Please note that MyBuy is currently available in select areas. Learn more about Wahi’s MyBuy Program here.

When a home is purchased, the commission is typically paid by the seller on both sides of the deal. The buyer’s brokerage receives their share of the commission from the listing brokerage after the transaction is completed. For example, if we received 2.5% of the sale price in commission, Wahi would give 1.0% back to the buyer in cashback after we are paid.

Wahi’s data-driven recommendation engine does the heavy lifting to match you with proven experts in your property search area. Only the top 10% of REALTORS® are invited to join the Wahi platform so we’ll only recommend top-tier local REALTORS® with the right expertise, in the right location. You’ll have the opportunity to compare REALTOR® offers upfront and choose which agent best suits your needs before you connect with them.

A Wahi agent is a REALTOR®, offering virtual service for Wahi’s MyBuy program, which offers up to 1.0% of the sale price in cashback after close. Wahi agents will provide you with remote service through your home buying journey, from finding properties through to managing the offer with our pricing desk and closing stage. Instead of in-person tours, Wahi Tour Assistants meet you at the property for your showings. Wahi’s pricing desk is there to price offers intelligently, to help win the bid without overpaying. This digital model allows Wahi to pass cash back in your pocket after closing.
