California's first digital real estate brokerage.

TEAL's founders are attorneys, technologists, and licensed real estate professionals with decades of experience. They recognized a need in the marketplace to serve modern buyers who are already accustomed to digital purchases, from food delivery, to taxi rides, to auto purchases. Those same home buyers were already doing most of the work to procure a home themselves. They would do the research on neighborhoods, find the homes for sale online, visit the open house events, and even pre-qualify for their home loan before ever contacting a real estate agent. When these buyers finally contacted an agent, they were paying often 2%-3% of the purchase price - $20,000 to $30,000 on an average California home - even though they had done the majority of the work themselves!

TEAL was founded to address this burden on motivated home buyers. You did the work, why pay an agent tens of thousands of dollars for work they didn't do?  What will you do with the savings? Sweeten your offer to stand out amongst other buyers? Use the money to remodel parts of your new home to really make it your own? Lower your mortgage payment? Or maybe just sock it away for a rainy-day fund? Whatever you decide, the options are up to you. You did the work, now claim your reward!

Buyers have three options with TEAL digital brokerage service, depending on how they want to use the savings. You can sweeten the offer, increase your down payment, or get cash back at closing. All of the options have one thing in common: they cost less and return the savings to you!


Proudly representing motivated home buyers!


Remember when you had to pick up a phone and talk to a grumpy taxi dispatcher just to get a dirty, broken-down cab to pick you up? No, neither do we. But it was probably a horrible experience, and you had to pay extra for the privilege. So why, in today's digital economy, do you have to pay an agent $10,000, $20,000, $30,000 (or more!) when you can do most of the work of finding and buying a home yourself online? What could you do with that money if it wasn't going to line an agent's pockets?

Buyers have three options with TEAL digital brokerage service, depending on how they want to use the savings. You can sweeten the offer, increase your down payment, or get cash back at closing. All of the options have one thing in common: they cost less and return the savings to you!

Option 1:

Cash back at closing


Our most popular choice gives money directly back to buyers at closing. With this option, TEAL charges a 1% fee with the remaining buyer's commission returned directly to the buyer as a check at the close of escrow. The exact amount will vary depending on factors like the total commission split and the cost of the home. On an average California home, a buyer would receive between $10,000 and $20,000 cash back.*

All TEAL options include:
- Fully digital transaction
- AI and licensed agent offer review
- Inspection support
- Contingency assistance

Option 2:

Increase your offer


Increasing your offer by 1%-2% can make a real difference when a seller is comparing multiple offers. With this option, TEAL would charge 1% fee and then allocate the remaining buyer's commission toward increasing the total offer amount to the seller. Especially in competitive markets, this additional amount can make offers really stand out.

All TEAL options include:
- Fully digital transaction
- AI and licensed agent offer review
- Inspection support
- Contingency assistance

Option 3:

Reduce your loan balance


Reducing your loan balance by 1%-2% can reduce your monthly payment or save tens of thousands of dollars over the term of your loan. Applying your savings back toward the loan balance is a smart long-term savings move. While it doesn't return cash at closing, it increases your savings over the life of the loan thanks to interest compounding.
