OwnerListed: Helping Homeowners Sell Smarter — Without Carrying the Commission Burden

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 2025

It's Buzzing Launches OwnerListed — A Social-Powered Alternative to Traditional Real Estate Commissions

For many homeowners, selling a home comes with an unavoidable cost: agent commissions that can range from $15,000 to $30,000 per transaction on a typical home sale.

At the same time, a growing number of homeowners are already attempting to sell their homes on their own — listing independently, sharing links, and relying on word of mouth — often without the tools or reach needed to compete with traditional listings.

That gap is what led It's Buzzing to launch OwnerListed in November 2025.

OwnerListed is designed to help homeowners sell directly by turning their existing social network into an active promotion engine. Instead of relying solely on agents or online ads, homeowners can empower friends, family, and trusted connections — and extend into their networks — to help promote a listing organically.

"Most people already have a network that wants to help them," said Kori White, founder of It's Buzzing. "OwnerListed simply gives homeowners the structure and tools to multiply that reach."

How OwnerListed Works

OwnerListed enables homeowners to:

• Promote their property through personal networks, not just listing sites
• Activate friends, family, and trusted contacts as ambassadors
• Extend visibility into second- and third-degree social connections
• Track referrals and interest through a structured system

Unlike traditional advertising, ambassador-driven referrals are built on trust. Internal platform data shows that ambassador referrals convert up to three times higher than standard online ads, making them a powerful alternative to cold traffic and paid listings.

A More Flexible Path to the Next Chapter

For many sellers, the burden of commission fees can delay or complicate life transitions — whether that's purchasing a new home, relocating, or closing one chapter before starting the next.

By reducing or eliminating traditional commission costs, OwnerListed helps homeowners:

• Retain more equity from their sale
• Reduce financial pressure during the selling process
• Move forward faster with greater flexibility

"OwnerListed isn't about replacing agents," explained Kori White. "It's about giving homeowners more control and more options — especially those who already plan to sell on their own."

A Network-First Approach to Real Estate

At its core, OwnerListed reflects It's Buzzing's broader belief in community-driven growth. When people feel empowered to help one another — and are given simple, transparent tools to do so — outcomes improve for everyone involved.

OwnerListed is now available as part of the It's Buzzing ecosystem, supporting homeowners who want to sell smarter, save money, and leverage the networks they already have.
