Iggys House, further empowering consumers

Iggys House was launched in March 2007 by the team who created both Web Street Securities and Iggys House Brokerage Services.

Web Street was at the forefront of the online investing revolution. We saw the power of the internet to arm consumers with information that was previously difficult to obtain, empowering them to make their own investment decisions at a much lower cost. Web Street became a publicly traded company in 1999 before merging with E*Trade Financial Group in 2001.

Then, in 2006, we saw that the real estate industry was poised for same dramatic change as the stock brokerage industry was in the mid nineties. So in April of 2006, Iggys House Brokerage Services was created, fueled by the idea that self-motivated consumers who find their own new home to buy, (and there were over 3 million of them last year alone), deserve to keep up to 75% of the buyer’s agent’s commission.

The rapid success of Iggys House Brokerage Services has clearly demonstrated that the time is right to offer this same kind of empowerment to consumers looking to sell their home.

So we built Iggys House.

Iggys House offers consumers free access to the MLS, and an easy-to-use tutorial to help them create their own listing. Their home will be listed for free on the MLS, and placed on both Iggyshouse.com and REALTOR.COM®, where over 50% of prospective home buyers shop for new homes. Other companies offer to help self-motivated sellers sell their home, but only do so for a fee. Iggys House will be the first and only real estate brokerage to offer this service for absolutely no charge.

Thanks to Iggys House, buying and selling real estate will never be the same.

It’ll be better.
