Verticalmove is working with a Seattle/SF based start up that is
turning the world of "typical real estate firms"; and their established
fees upside down. They are the industrys first online real estate
brokerage and unlike any other real estate site, you can buy and sell
MLS-listed homes online. They are a 50 person start up that is
expanding in both their San Francisco & Seattle offices as well as
sales branches in LA, Boston, San Diego, Washington DC with Chicago
coming online soon.

They are funded by Madrona Ventures which backed Amazon and Paul
Allens Vulcan Capital. They are looking for bright, intelligent
engineers and who are looking to get in on this unique opportunity.
Their revenues are up and traffic to their site is increasing as more
and more home owners & sellers look to saving money on real estate
commissions. In 2007 they had 1000 closed transactions and the brand
name is getting out there.
