HOW IT WORKS
Owner Listed.
Cribbed Assisted.
Heidi Laros
Founder & CEO
Designed by Top Real Estate Agent & Marketer
Cribbed was created on the notion that, with the right professional tools, anyone can easily sell their home on their own, saving not only pricey commissions, but resulting in a more rewarding overall experience. It solves previous barriers to successfully selling on one’s own...
- Sellers know their home the best but had no way to professionally market their home.
- Buyers know their needs best, and are already searching for their future home themselves, but had no way to access a home without an agent.
Cribbed provides the same marketing tools a top agent might provide to their highest-end properties, but to everyone. Buyers and sellers connect directly on the platform, pampering both with a powerful search platform, easy-to-use portals, and automated instructions and reminders. Streamlining the process and eliminating unnecessary layers and middlemen, along with their busy and conflicting schedules and agendas.
How it works: Every Cribbed purchase includes professional photographs, professional signs and installation, disclosures, contract, in-home materials (lock box, shoe covers, etc.), in addition to floor plans and a 360° tour included in the most common plans, as well as a Luxury option.
Cribbed partners with the best companies in the country to provide an easy end-to-end experience including DocuSign, First American Title, Great Schools, photography networks, sign installation network, municipal data, and .ai tools.
Heidi’s background includes a long marketing research career followed by a highly successful run in residential real estate sales, when she became impassioned to provide a real option for buying and selling real estate without over-paying agents like herself. Cribbed is a result of her expertise along with proven best practices and clever analytics to get your home sold.

Are Broker Commissions
Too High?
by Debra Kamin
View ArticleReader Comments
The 6% commission is daylight robbery, given the amount of work usually required.
There is nothing a real estate agent does that I cannot do myself.
That kind of market gatekeeping is doomed.
There's a huge opportunity in this country for someone to shake up this industry by presenting a new model for selling residential real estate.
In a world in which there is more and more electronic information available, are brokers even necessary at all.
When I'm the seller I'm actually paying the buyer's agent to work against me during negotiations.
The fee is agreed upon before any work is done, before you can determine the quality or quantity of the value you will receive.
Realtors today are akin to travel agents about 20 years ago. We know how it will end, but its going to be painful.
In my opinion, the real estate industry is very broken.
Some buyer's agents are excellent. Most are not. But you want everyone to pay as if they had an excellent one.
To think “traditional” agents have the best interest of the buyer in mind is ridiculous.
I was dumbfounded as to how little most of the showing realtors knew about the listings they were showing.
Defending commissions is becoming more challenging as the curtain is pulled back on the value added by a real estate agent, revealing that many, many people could easily sell their own homes.
It's not rocket science, but the NAR does a good job of keeping sellers in the dark regarding what's really a rather simple process.
