Our story

Built for Ohio homeowners who did the math

Ohio has the third-highest FSBO rate in the country. Ohio homeowners have been selling their own homes for decades. They just needed better tools.

Why Ohio-only

Ohio is the right place to start

13.61% of Ohio home sales are FSBO — the third-highest rate in the nation. Ohio homeowners already know how to sell their own homes. What they don't have is a platform that handles the communication volume, lists them on the MLS, and charges a flat fee instead of a percentage.

Ohio is not a test market for us. Ohio is our market. We are not a national platform with an Ohio filter. We are built for Ohio first — the regulations, the title companies, the suburbs of Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati where most of the sales happen.

When we grow, we will be transparent about it. For now: Ohio-only, and focused on doing it right.

What we believe

How agent9 operates

🔍

You make every decision

agent9 is a relay and a tool — not a decision-maker. You set the price. You write the listing description. You approve every showing. You write your counter-offers. You decide when to accept. agent9 handles the logistics and communications so you can focus on the decisions.

🤖

We tell you when our AI is working

Every message agent9 relays to a buyer includes a clear label: "This message was relayed through agent9 AI on behalf of [your name]." Buyers always know they are communicating through our AI relay — not directly with you, and not with an AI that invented answers. We are transparent about what the AI does and does not do.

⚖️

Legal clarity, not legal advice

agent9 is not a licensed real estate broker. We do not represent you in negotiations and we do not provide legal advice. A real estate transaction involves legal documents. We connect you with Ohio title companies for closing, and we recommend consulting a licensed Ohio real estate attorney for questions about your specific transaction. This is not a disclaimer to hide behind — it is an honest description of what we are.

💰

One price. No kickbacks. No games.

$999 flat fee, collected at closing. We do not take a percentage. We do not receive referral fees from title companies or inspectors. We do not sell your information to agents or advertisers. Our business depends entirely on sellers paying $999 per transaction — that is the only financial relationship we have with you.

🔒

Privacy comes first

Your home details, your transaction data, and your communications are yours. We use your data to run your transaction and improve our platform. We do not sell your personal information. When we collect or process your data, we tell you what, why, and for how long. Full details in our Privacy Policy.

Current status

Pre-launch, building in the open

agent9 is currently in pre-launch development. We are building the platform, testing the MLS integration, and verifying the legal structure with Ohio real estate attorneys before we take our first listing.

We publish our pricing, our process, and our legal disclaimers before we have customers — not because a lawyer told us to, but because we think that is the right way to build trust.

When we are ready to take listings, this page will say so clearly.

Legal disclaimer (required): agent9 relays buyer-seller communication through AI. agent9 is not a real estate broker and is not licensed under ORC Chapter 4735. agent9 does not provide legal advice or negotiate contracts on behalf of any party. All decisions — pricing, counter-offers, acceptance — are made solely by the seller. For legal advice about your real estate transaction, please consult a licensed Ohio real estate attorney.

Customer stories

Coming soon: real Ohio sellers

We will not publish testimonials or success stories until we have real customers with real outcomes. When Ohio homeowners sell with agent9, we will tell their stories here — with their permission, with their actual savings numbers, and with their real names and cities.
