Fifteen years of selling homes, quietly

Halvora is a small brokerage for architect-designed homes. We take on a handful of listings at a time, photograph and film each one ourselves, and show it first to buyers we have already met. Many of the homes we sell never need a sign in the yard.

[ FAQ ]

Questions and answers

01How do you price an architect-designed home?

From the sales of comparable houses, adjusted for the architecture itself: the architect, the site, the light and the condition of the original details.

02Do you sell homes privately?

Yes. Many owners prefer it. We introduce the house to a short list of buyers we know, with no listing and no sign.

03Who photographs and films the listings?

We do, with architectural photographers we work with on every house, and a short film of the house at dusk.

04Do you help buyers from out of state?

Yes. We walk every house first, film it for you, and arrange viewings around your visit.

05What does it cost to sell with Halvora?

A single commission agreed before we start, with the photography, film and marketing included.
