Learn how Vadoma works

How Vadoma works

Vadoma guides a home sale between a buyer and a seller, with a room for each stage.

Before there is a deal, the two of you talk in a Relationship Room: one private room for one buyer, one seller and one home.

Once both of you sign the same terms, a Deal Room opens for everything that happens next.

The Sealed Vault keeps the sale’s documents in one place.

For buyers

Anyone can browse published listings and their photos without an account.

To reach a seller, sign in and choose Connect with the seller on the listing, which opens a private Relationship Room.

There you ask questions, request a viewing and, when you are ready, make an offer.

You can fill in a short readiness assessment for that home, saying how you plan to pay and your timeline, and its seller sees what you save.

Saving a home keeps it on your list.

For sellers

A seller starts a listing with its address, then works through prep, home facts, price, photos, a description and the seller disclosure.

A listing cannot be published until the seller disclosure is complete.

Before you list, the prep checklist suggests common pre-sale improvements. This is a planning tool, not a valuation.

When a buyer connects, you answer in the same Relationship Room: accept a viewing time or suggest another, share your disclosure with that buyer, and accept, counter or decline their terms.

A share is final: you cannot take it back.

You can end the conversation with one buyer, and the listing remains active for the others.

For investors and repeat sellers

If you sell more than one home, your seller dashboard lists every listing in your portfolio, one row per home.

Homes that need a step from you come first, under Needs your action, and the rest wait under On track.

Each home keeps its own conversations with its own buyers.

A buyer considering several homes has a separate Relationship Room for each one.

What happens after an offer

Only the buyer makes an offer, with guided fields for price, deposit, financing, dates and contingencies.

The seller can accept, counter or decline, and the buyer can answer a counter the same way, so terms can go back and forth.

Each counter shows what changed from the last revision, old value to new.

When both of you accept the same revision, you each sign one terms-and-agreement document in the Relationship Room.

The Deal is created only after both parties sign it.

In the Deal Room you complete disclosures and coordinate documents from outside providers.

When every required document is final, you both seal the deal in Vadoma. The legal closing itself completes with your closing agent, outside Vadoma.

Platform trust boundaries

The Relationship Room and the Deal Room both carry this line:

These are not legal advice, and no Vadoma action is a closing, a transfer of title or a movement of funds.

Why documents matter

The documents you fill in Vadoma are drafts for the two of you to coordinate, and counsel review is recommended.

Documents from outside providers, such as an inspection report or an appraisal, come from that provider, not from Vadoma.

A deal cannot be sealed until every required document for both parties is final and each side has confirmed its outside documents.
