General Questions

FlipIQ is a secure and efficient online marketplace designed for real estate professionals, including realtors, sellers, and wholesalers. It offers an exclusive, invite-only platform for off-market residential properties with verified sellers, validated properties, and certified buyers. The user-friendly app enables users to easily present opportunities and negotiate offers. The peer-to-peer rating system adds transparency and accountability, while the platform operates with no sign-up or monthly fees, making it an ideal choice for real estate professionals seeking to close deals with confidence.
Sample:

When a buyer offers $500k, the seller sees a net offer of $499k because a $1k fee goes to the buyer's inviting member. This fee is paid through escrow at closing.

If the seller accepts the $499k offer, they pay a $1k tech fee, making their final net sale $498k. The $1k tech fee goes to FlipIQ, with 20% going to the seller's inviting member as an affiliate fee (paid quarterly).

Once the offer is accepted on FlipIQ, the buyer and seller learn each other's identities. They then create a purchase contract using our preferred escrow or choose a title company.
