About Ohvii

Who builds this

Ohvii is built by Benjamin Pittenger, a licensed California real estate broker (DRE #01969188). Benjamin has held a California real estate license since 2015 and a broker license since 2018, and worked inside real estate companies like Redfin, REX, and Reali before starting Ohvii. He also holds a mortgage loan originator endorsement (NMLS #1798012). You can verify the license anytime on the CA DRE public license lookup.

Why Ohvii exists

Buying a home is a sequence of documents, deadlines, and emails. None of it is magic. Plenty of buyers are fully capable of running that sequence themselves; what they are missing is the back office an agent brings. Ohvii’s AI is that back office: paste a listing link, price it with real comps, build a complete California offer packet, sign it, and send it from your own inbox.

Since the industry changes of 2024, touring with an agent in California generally means signing a buyer representation agreement first. Some buyers read those terms and want another path. Ohvii is built for that path: you stay in control, and the AI does the work an agent’s office used to do.

What Ohvii is (and is not)

Ohvii is software for self-represented California buyers. Using it does not make Ohvii your real estate broker, agent, attorney, lender, escrow company, title company, inspector, appraiser, or tax advisor. The guides on the blog explain the process in plain language; the decisions stay yours. If you want to see the workflow itself, start with how it works.

The point is control

Everything above adds up to one idea: the transaction is yours. You set every term, sign every page, see every document, and get warned before every deadline, from the first listing link to closing day. Ohvii's job is to make that control practical, so you can buy a home confidently without handing the deal to anyone else. Got a listing in mind? Paste it and see.
