About Aalto:


Aalto has set out to create the modern, direct marketplace homebuyers and sellers have been craving for decades. Beginning in 2021, sellers have been able to list their homes with a flexible and no-risk process, unlocking homes for sale months earlier than traditional real estate. This leads to more amazing homes for buyers, exclusively on Aalto. Tens of thousands of buyers and sellers across the Bay Area are already using Aalto, with new, exclusive homes added hourly.


We are a distributed team of do-ers with three pillars at our core: start by listening, build community, and be direct. Learn more at aalto.com.
