Unlock real estate’s tomorrow, today
At Aalto, we’re building the first self-service real estate platform leveraging our talents, passions, and expertise. Come join the journey.


We’re here to democratize real estate. Our mission is to shift the balance of power in residential real estate, away from industry insiders and toward consumers.

Aalto was founded in 2017 to change the way homes are bought and sold.
Former founders (and longtime friends) who grew up in families of real estate agents, Nick and Jon deeply understood the problems that face the modern homeowner and homebuyer. To fix these problems, the two built a small team who set out to create a self-service platform that put consumers at the center of the real estate process. That team became Aalto, and that product became the Aalto platform. Learn more about us here.
