What exactly is an iBuyer? Although iBuying represents one of the largest fundamental shifts in the residential real estate model, the term doesn’t quite encompass all of the interesting new companies that are popping up…. or at least not according to them. I start each week with a rough idea for an article topic and then I learn as much as I can by talking with as many leaders in that space as possible. As I reached out to the companies that I considered to be iBuyers, I received feedback from some with a pretty blunt message, “Just to be clear, we are not iBuyers”. I tried to piece together whether iBuying has a negative connotation to it, even though the amount of homes being purchased through non-conventional methods are hard to ignore.
