About Us
The Three Pillars of Our Approach
Align Incentives: Our incentive contract is based on extensive economic and behavioral research. It maximizes the sale price of your home by aligning your agent’s incentives with yours.
Encourage Competition: We simplify the process of comparing and selecting agents while making it more efficient for them to compete for your business, resulting in better terms for you.
Make it Win-Win: Our approach creates a win-win outcome for homeowners and great real estate agents. You sell your home for more money and the agent gets paid for the value they add.
Nic Johnson - Founder of ListWise
I founded ListWise in 2022 with the goal of empowering homeowners to get the most money and best results when they sell their home. ListWise helps homeowners by creating a new, streamlined way to hire a real estate agent using an incentive-based commission structure, which motivates agents to work harder and smarter, and rewards them for the results they achieve. Before founding ListWise, I spent 17 years at PIMCO, a large asset management company, where I was a managing director and portfolio manager. At PIMCO I led the commodity desk and managed several large mutual funds as well as a very successful, multi-billion dollar commodity hedge fund. I am also the co-author of the book “Intelligent Commodity Indexing.” I hold a master's degree in financial mathematics from the University of Chicago and an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise to help homeowners and agents work together to achieve their goals.
