How it works
From address to offer, in one sitting
You bring the home you love. We handle the paperwork, compliance, and delivery — every offer is reviewed by a licensed California agent before it goes out.
Find your home
Enter the address or MLS number. We pull the listing details and the listing agent's contact information straight from CRMLS.
Build your offer
A guided, five-step wizard walks you through price, financing, contingencies, and timelines — in plain English, mapped to the C.A.R. purchase agreement.
We review & deliver
Your licensed agent reviews every term, prepares the official forms for e-signature, and delivers your offer to the listing agent.
Why 1%?
You did the searching. Your commission should reflect that.
Most buyers today find their own home online. With Hippo Realty, the buyer agent commission we request from the seller is just 1% — not the traditional 2–3% — and submitting your offer costs nothing. The difference strengthens your offer or comes back to you as savings.
- Free offer submission — no upfront or hidden fees

“The commission conversation has changed. Buyers who come prepared deserve to keep more of their money at the closing table.”
