The team at Falaya have made the listing process effortless in half the time of your typical listing. Old school listings are time consuming and antiquated. Once you list a home with Falaya you will never consider any other option in the future. This is a well run business, highly recommended!!

Barret Blondeau of Falaya.com was recommended to us by a close family member. They appreciated the professional service that they received from his company. From the first meeting with Barret, we knew that we had made the right decision. He was very straight forward with the way his company worked. The ala carte system of choosing the amount of service you wanted to use was incredibly unique to us. You can choose a small amount of help with the process of selling your home to full service. We chose the mid-range and was constantly amazed at the service we received from Barret. He was always on

Well, I'm not a huge fan of realtors, but when I needed to move out of state before I was able to sell my house something had to happen. Talk about one of the greatest experiences I can describe! Listing off for simplicity:
1) Extremely easy process through the Falaya app
2) Best realtor price structure you can find. I opted for the 1% structure and what I got tripled what I expected. No lie, Barrett was out in front of my house picking up sticks before showings!
3) Barrett - Owner, founder, CEO/COO, dad, all around great representation for you
4) Top notch communication - I was updated every
