Heidi Laros
Founder & CEO

Designed by Top Real Estate Agent & Marketer

Heidi Laros began her career in marketing research at some of the top firms in the country, on some of the largest domestic and global businesses. She moved into residential real estate, combining her experience of providing great customer service with a love of home design. Impassioned to create a means to buy and sell real estate without an agent, but felt like the same experience, Heidi knew, with her help and proven best practices, it was very achievable.

The truth is, the majority of an agent’s role is administrative and marketing. Most duties could be automated, like we’ve done, but would leave little left to do.

Afterall, buyers and sellers are already doing a lot of work themselves. Sellers know their home best– guess who provides the agent with all that information? Buyers know their needs best, searching on their own, the majority finding the home they ultimately purchase themselves.

Two barriers have deterred agentless transactions:

  1. Sellers had nowhere to professionally market their home
  2. Buyers had no way to access a home without an agent

Cribbed removed hurdles and pampered you with a powerful search platform, easy-to-use portals, and automated instructions and reminders. We streamlined the process eliminating layers, busy and conflicting schedules, and individuals who do not have your same motivation and goals.

Cribbed allows you can protect your hard-earned home equity and put it to better use.

Chris Miller

We were happy to be one of Cribbed’s first buying customers earlier this year. The experience was great, in the sense that it was quite simple. We’ve bought and sold close to a dozen homes in our lives, and it’s always been an overly complicated, convoluted, and unnecessarily emotional process. ... Buyers and sellers end up needlessly arguing through their realtors, who behind your backs, are just laughing at how ridiculous you are. With Cribbed, we communicated directly with the seller and everything went incredibly smoothly. Both parties can be open, honest, and flexible while still following through with all of the usual processes. We got all the inspections we needed and were even able to adjust our close date since everything was ready earlier than expected. In the traditional real estate world, a simple change like that would’ve involved bickering and fighting over email for days between real estate agents. We’re glad to have found our home through Cribbed. It was the least stressful real estate transaction we’ve ever done. Read More Read Less
