The most important part of the vetting process is our team getting to know you.

What type of home am I looking to buy? How can I find a reputable real estate agent in the area I'm interested in? Are there any military-friendly neighborhoods or communities? Should I use a VA loan? What is the process for obtaining a mortgage while stationed overseas?

If you find yourself asking any of these questions, please reach out to us. We can help.

Plus, our service is 100% free to you.

In order to find you the right real estate agent, we first need to discuss your goals for your real estate transaction. We usually do this in an initial 10 – 15 minute phone call. WhatApp numbers accepted!

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Our entire vetting process, from our first phone call with you to our recommendation typically takes 24-48 hours (during 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 will not be able to vet as many candidates.

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

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 current agent. If you signed a representation contract, you will both need to sign a document saying that the relationship has been terminated.

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

Yes! We will help you get all your boxes checked before you need to actively start searching for a home. This includes helping you find a real estate agent who can familiarize you with the local area and neighborhoods.

How does WeVett get paid?

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.) In the real estate industry, it is then standard to pay referral fees out to another real estate agent if a client is outside of the referring agent’s service area.

Does WeVett help find rentals?

No. 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.
