LOS ANGELES, Nov. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- California-based Padx.com has announced a new offering to help support displaced victims on the devastating wildfires in Southern California. For the next three months, Padx.com is giving back 100% of the buyer's commission to those affected by the Hill and Woolsey fires who purchase a home through Padx.
The commission to a buyer's agent on the sale of an $800,000 home ranges from $20,000 to $24,000. By offering buyers affected by the fire 100% of this commission as a refund when purchasing through Padx.com, the company hopes to play a role in contributing toward Southern Californians getting back on their feet.
The Hill and Woolsey fires in Ventura and Los Angeles have left hundreds of thousands of residents evacuated and burned hundreds of homes to the ground. Two of Padx's founders have been personally affected by the fires, having been ordered to evacuate their homes and find safety with their families.
"My family is personally affected by these fires. Many of our friends lost their homes and one family is currently staying with us until they can get back on their feet," said Mark Heninger, CMO of Padx. "Although this has been a rough time, seeing everyone pull together and help neighbors, police, firefighters and friends has been amazing. In the midst of all this turmoil, there is a lot of humanity and positivity brimming. Any way we can personally or our company can help, I am ready to jump in."
Joshua Hinkson, COO of Padx, was evacuated with his family, and echoed those thoughts. "We want to ensure we are focused on helping the community rebuild," Hinkson said. "Honestly, there are no words that will change what's happened to our neighbors."
Padx was created to empower consumers in their real estate transactions, a mission that is ever more important as the area looks to recovery and rebuilding from the wildfires.
"Our hearts go out to everyone that has been impacted by these devastating fires," said Evan Harney, Padx CEO. "We know the community will rise up together, and we are here to support the rebuilding effort."
