This NYC Startup Just Raised $30M to Streamline The Home Buying Process

The real estate market is one of the slower adopters of new technology, which may be surprising since the value of the US housing market alone is estimated to be worth $30T. With extraordinary market potential, many real estate tech companies are emerging to streamline the home buying process. Perch is one of those companies. Using technology to ensure transparency on both the buyer and sellers end, the startup has built a direct marketplace that sells certified pre-owned homes listed at market-value, allowing clients to set their closing date at their convenience. The company’s ultimate goal is to remove uncertainty from the home buying process and act as a platform to connect proactive buyers and sellers.
