About the company

Fair Trade Real Estate connects homeowners who want to sell with a network of real estate investors in California, enabling property sales without traditional seller commissions or closing costs. The process works by the company acting as an intermediary in a property marketplace: sellers list a home and investors purchase the property, with the company earning fees from the investors for facilitating the deal. Unlike typical broker-led transactions, the model reduces seller costs by removing commissions and many closing fees, aiming for a faster, more direct sale. The company differentiates itself through its focus on commission-free, cost-efficient transactions and its emphasis on connecting sellers with a network of investors to close deals quickly. Its goal is to provide a financially advantageous option for homeowners seeking a hassle-free sale while enabling investors to acquire properties through a streamlined, California-focused marketplace.
