Problem

Trusty addresses the information and access gap in residential real estate: roughly one in five homes sells off-market, while agents can control access to that inventory. Buyers therefore miss homes that may fit their needs, homeowners lack a private way to signal willingness to sell and receive relevant offers, and agents lose potential matches and transactions. The clearest use case is a buyer’s agent trying to find a hard-to-source home for a client when the property is not listed publicly. Trusty’s $39-per-month Pro plan, or $400 annually, positions the service as a relatively small recurring expense for improving access to high-value residential transactions, although the available evidence does not quantify conversion, commission, or revenue economics.

Product / Service

Trusty is a private, agent-only, agent-to-agent matching network that searches for off-market opportunities on behalf of real estate professionals. Access requires a valid DRE license. On the buyer side, its AI-powered search is tuned to a client’s exact needs, surfaces exclusive off-market inventory, applies proprietary confidence scoring, and provides real-time insight into a property’s likelihood of selling. The intended benefit is that agents can find homes their buyers cannot discover through ordinary listings and close more deals.

On the homeowner and listing-pipeline side, agents can manage past, current, and future homeowner relationships, record price expectations and willingness to sell, import past buyer-side transactions, and track property notes and highlights. This turns an agent’s existing client base into a potential source of future listings while allowing qualified buyer demand to be matched privately with homeowners open to selling. The product has a free tier and a paid Pro tier priced at $39 monthly or $400 yearly.

Market

Trusty competes in PropTech as a B2B real-estate marketplace and agent-network product, specifically in off-market inventory discovery, buyer-home matching, and private sale origination. Y Combinator describes it as an agent-to-agent matchmaking network that searches every home whether or not it is on the market; its company profile categorizes it as an active Marketplace, Real Estate, Consumer, and B2B PropTech company. Crunchbase identifies SERHANT., Compass, and HomeLight as possible alternatives or competitors, although these companies are broader real-estate businesses rather than necessarily identical products.

The company appears to be an early-stage but operating venture rather than an unlaunched concept: YC lists Trusty as founded in 2020, part of Winter 2022, active, and with a team size of six, while Crunchbase lists it as private and pre-seed with two funding rounds and Y Combinator among its investors. Trusty’s site says it is trusted by agents at premier brokerages including Sotheby’s International Realty, Compass, and Coldwell Banker, but the available evidence provides no quantified user, transaction, revenue, or customer-growth metrics, so it cannot support a definitive claim that the company is revenue-generating or pre-revenue.
