What disclosures.io does

Every year $1.2 trillion in residential home sales are exchanged, however buying and selling a house is still a huge, painful process. Maybe that’s because Real Estate is the least digital industry, behind only agriculture 🐮. Disclosures.io is on a mission to make the real estate process more transparent and efficient for everyone involved. Our product helps sellers get their home to market faster and enables buyers to make more informed offers. We believe in lean, pragmatic product development, entrepreneurship and building a business that we are proud to be a part of. We love talking to like-minded makers, drop us a line!
