About Movoto:

Movoto Real Estate was founded on a simple principle: Real estate should be easy.

 

This foundational idea continues to drive our mission every day, building cutting edge, optimized technology tools and connecting talented, customer-focused agents with motivated buyers and sellers. Today, we are the fastest-growing top five residential real estate site in the United States with nearly 26 million monthly visits. But we are more than a real estate brokerage and research site—we’re a technology company that is bringing real estate into the future with our end-to-end suite of proprietary tools for buyers, sellers, and agents.

 

In 2020, Movoto was acquired by OJO Labs, a leader in personalized, AI-enabled real estate tools. Combining OJO and Movoto’s deep commitment to creating end-to-end home-buying solutions, we continue to strive to become the most trusted real estate company in North America. Our real estate technology platform comprises the latest data-driven AI technology, client communication tools, marketing and transaction support, a real team of dedicated transaction coordinators, and an agent earnings structure that ensures our agents are successful and can focus on serving their clients.

 

Movoto is not only committed to making real estate accessible to a diverse community through technology, we strive to increase representation—across all races, ethnicities, genders, ages, sexual orientations, and physical or mental abilities—in our teams. We continue to promote an inclusive work environment where everyone, from any background, can do their best work.

 

Together with OJO and our growing team, we have renewed our dedication to the mission that started it all: making real estate easy in this rapidly changing world.

Pro Pronouns
A D&I taskforce that leads the way on important initiatives
Harrington is a member of OJO’s D&I taskforce, and he loves the team’s latest initiative. The task force led a companywide training on using pronouns in a corporate setting. That means OJO employees now use pronouns when they introduce themselves in meetings, add pronouns to email signatures and find ways to utilize more gender-neutral language in overall communications.

It’s been awesome to see the company adopting and normalizing the use of pronouns.
Neena Wanko
Senior Accountant
PARENTAL PERKS
A company that helps you balance work and life
A few months before her due date, Neena Wanko was helping her team at OJO Labs launch the OJO Select Network, a network of preferred realtors offered to homebuyers, when she went into labor much sooner than expected. The senior accountant had the most expertise on her team regarding the new program and understood how OJO would handle invoicing, so she told her team to reach out if they had any questions. But Wanko never heard from her team during her four months of paid parental leave. They fully respected her time away until she was officially back to work.

My team was super supportive and respectful of my time off. When I finally did come back to work, my team gave me the space and time to get caught up.
