Welcome to TurboHome!
Our mission is simple: make homebuying more accessible.
We provide you with the tools to become a smarter, self-reliant homebuyer. Browse new listings, compare comps, review market data, and learn everything you need to know about a property before you tour it.
Whenever you need us, your TurboHome team is here to help.
Here are your next steps to get started:
Step 1: Meet your TurboHome agent
Your agent is a licensed local expert who's excited to learn about your homebuying goals. The best way to make sure you're completely aligned is through a brief introduction call.
During this call, you'll go over where you are at in your homebuying journey, what your priorities are as a homebuyer, and what your ideal home looks like.
Every TurboHome agent is a fully licensed Realtor who works directly for our brokerage and specializes in your local market. No freelancers, part-timers, or faceless agents halfway across the country.
Step 2: Log in to the TurboHome app
It's your home base for property inquiries, requests, documents, and messages with your team. Submit requests directly, or ask Turbo, our virtual assistant, for help.
Step 3: Sign your Buyer Representation Agreement
The Buyer Representation Agreement (BRBC) is a standard, non-exclusive 90-day agreement that lets your agent officially represent you as a buyer. It's a legal requirement for touring any property that's listed on MLS.
What does non-exclusive mean?
Unlike some brokerages, we don't lock you in to working with us exclusively. We hope that the quality of the service you receive from our team (and the money you'll save with us thanks to our flat-fee commission structure) will motivate you to keep working with us, rather than a contract that forces you to.
You can work with any other agent or brokerage while working with us.
One simple ask: if we analyze a property or book a tour for you, we represent you on that listing.
Step 4: Start sending us properties!
You can request more information on any listing directly through the TurboHome app.
We can pull nearby comparable sales and prepare a valuation report so you know what the fair market value of the property looks like.
If disclosures are provided by the seller, we can prepare a disclosure analysis or risk assessment to help you accurately gauge the value of a home and predict what kind of expenses or repairs may be necessary.
You can also browse local market data such as average DOM, $/sqft, % over/under asking price, etc., all through the TurboHome app.
You can always ask Turbo for help with any property request. Simply say what you need help with and Turbo will do the rest.
Step 5: Request a private tour
Want to see a home in person but can't make the open house?
All TurboHome clients enjoy unlimited private tours at no additional cost.
Submit a tour request via the TurboHome app or notify your TurboHome team.
What we need to know:
- Property address
- Requested date & time for touring
- Any alternative timing that works for you in case that timeframe is unavailable
Please note: ALL tour requests are subject to approval and confirmation from the seller's listing agent.
We will do our best to honor same-day tour requests but we must receive permission before the tour can be officially scheduled.
Step 6: Submit an offer request
Found the perfect home? Ready to make an offer?
Your TurboHome agent is here to help.
This is their time to shine. Your agent will contact the listing agent to get more intel on the listing: offer date, expectations on price, number of competing offers, etc.
We will make sure you have as much information as possible before submitting your offer. Your agent is here to advocate on your behalf and give you the best advice they can on how to submit a competitive offer.
We're committed to helping you win the house without overpaying. Because of our flat-fee commission structure, we don't make more by getting you to pay more. Our goal is aligned with yours: saving you as much as possible.
Step 7: Negotiate with your agent beside you
We don't just submit the offer and cash the check. Your agent & team are here to fight for you every step of the way through negotiation, escrow and closing.
Your agent will draft the offer based on your specific needs & timeline.
We'll keep you updated on counter offers, concessions, and all other aspects of negotiation.
Once your offer is accepted, our Ops team ensures that you stay on track through escrow & closing.
We'll help you stay on top of inspections, deposits, appraisals, and all the little details to make sure nothing gets overlooked.
