99Vine represents a refreshing new approach to residential real estate.

The fundamental difference is simple: the property search experience should revolve around the needs of the buyer. A smarter and more confident buyer will benefit all parties involved in the home buying process – from sellers and agents to developers and mortgage brokers.

99Vine's “social real estate” networks make it easier than ever before for home buyers to find the right neighborhoods, the right agents, the right listings and the right information for their individual needs. Buyers simply tap into real, local communities made up of helpful neighbors and reputable service providers. The best locations and the most valuable resources are recognized, while problems and pitfalls are quickly identified.

99Vine will separate the wheat from the chaff in local real estate in a way that was once impossible without personal connections. The best agents, developments and vendors will derive new customers and revenue streams, while the deceptive and overpriced will more often be passed over.

Through a rich, user-friendly online experience, we’re giving smart home buyers greater confidence in the choices they make, and we’re giving savvy agents access to customers that have greater confidence in them.
