"Kevin is wonderful. We will certainly use you again and will tell my friends about your great service and no commission."
Rightly Realty is the nation’s first and only 501(c)(3) nonprofit real estate brokerage fully licensed in all 50 states and Washington, D.C.
We represent clients in the sale or purchase of a home, regardless of price, for zero commission, zero fees, and no catches in order to fulfill our mission of making housing more affordable.
We also partner with Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI) such as community banks and credit unions to support a transition of banking from Wall Street back to Main Street.
After we complete your home sale or purchase, if you loved using your Rightly realtor at no cost, support us with a donation of any amount so we can continue to help others. Together we can make housing more affordable for all... one home sale at a time.
Rightly is lead by Kevin Gioia, a 50-state and Washington D.C. licensed real estate broker with over two decades of experience. Kevin was ranked #1 in CA for homes sold (423) and #11 in CA for sale volume ($165,421,115) in Newsweek's America's Best Realtors report.
Reaching #1 in CA was accomplished not by being 'better' than other realtors but by guarantying the highest possible sales price and that Rightly will donate their entire 6% commission and realtors' time to the client so their commission savings could be donated to the charity of their choice. Also, that there was no locked-in period for the listing agreement, so a client can cancel with Rightly at any time, for any reason, no questions asked if not 100% satisfied.
How can we financially donate our realtors' time and commissions? Ten years ago, a realtor's role demanded extensive hands-on effort per transaction. Today, those tasks have become highly standardized and repetitive—perfect for automation.
That's why we helped create AI and predictive modeling 'robo-realtor' software. It handles the bulk of the repetitive work—market analysis, MLS entry, pricing optimization, listing prep, buyer screening, scheduling, contract negotiations, paperwork, communications and more—allowing one human realtor to focus on customer service and deliver the productivity of an entire office of realtors. With only one or two salaried human realtor needed per office (plus minimal overhead), we cover operating costs from donations and co-working offices. No commission or fee required from our home selling and buying clients.
This structure lets us fully donate our realtors' time and commissions back to consumers. It's a sustainable, mission-driven model: technology unlocks massive efficiency gains, nonprofit status aligns incentives with our affordability mission, and support from clients and corporate partners keeps it all going.
We're so confident you'll love using Rightly, that your listing agreement includes a bold, ironclad guarantee: If you're not 100% satisfied at any point working with your Rightly realtor, you can cancel your listing agreement for any reason, no penalties, no questions asked. It's all right there in writing, alongside confirmation of our 100% free-to-use realtor.

"I wanted to send a note thanking you for selling our home. The sale closed yesterday, and the funds hit the respective accounts today. My home sold for $25,000 above my asking price and you stuck to your promise of not charging me a commission. You definitely exceeded expectations."

"When I first heard about Kevin's services, I didn't believe it. After going through the experience, I'm a believer! An entire team of folks were assigned to us that managed our entire sale and – best of all – we didn’t pay any commissions for their service. Take it from this reformed skeptic – try them, you’ll be happy you did!"
