Verification
Listings marked with a Verified badge have passed our verification checks. Verification covers ownership, documentation and, for vehicles, VIN and history checks. You can request verification for any listing that is not yet verified.
You share the VIN and we run checks against available vehicle history databases, confirm ownership documentation and report on accident or theft records where data is available.
Valuation

Inspection
You request an inspection, we schedule a convenient time, a professional visits the property and you receive a structured report to help you make a decision.
Financing
We provide guidance and introductions for mortgage and car financing through partner institutions. Approval is always subject to the lender’s assessment and is not guaranteed.
