QUESTIONS

Question 1

How does WeVett get paid?

Answer

In the simplest way possible – we are paid a referral commission by the real estate agent when you close on a home. You pay us nothing out of pocket. There are a lot of different models out there, but the main difference in what we do is that before ever considering any payment, we first find the right real estate agent for you. That means we are searching for agents regardless of whether or not they will pay us. This allows us to search through the top agents that don’t typically subscribe to marketing or referral lists (because they generate enough business on their own.) The reason this works is because in the real estate industry, it is standard to pay referral fees out to another real estate agent if a client has moved out of the referring agent’s service area.

Question 2

Does WeVett help find rentals?

Answer

Unfortunately, at this time we are unable to help with finding rentals or rental real estate agents.

There are a few online sites such as Zillow, Apartments.com, Realtor.com, Hotpads, etc. that can give you a good idea of the available rentals in the area. That is a good place to start. You can also search for local property management companies - they will have a list of available homes and apartments that they manage and can quickly coordinate showings and leases for you.

Question 3

How long does it take to be matched with a real estate agent?

Answer

Our entire vetting process, from our first phone call with you to our recommendation typically takes 1-3 business days. That gives us time to research and coordinate all of our interviews. If you need an agent sooner, we can expedite our vetting process, just know we might not be able to interview as many candidates.

Question 4

I already have a real estate agent, but it's not working out. Can WeVett help me find a different one?

Answer

Yes, but WeVett can only match you with a different real estate agent if you officially end the relationship with your current agent. This will need to be a discussion between you and your agent. If you signed a representation contract, you will both need to sign a document saying that the relationship has been terminated.

Question 5

I'm not moving for several months, can I still contact WeVett?
