We make selling effortless with free virtual appointments, in-home pickup, drop-off, and direct shipping. We handle all of the work for consignors, including authenticating, using AI and machine learning to determine optimal pricing, photographing and listing their items, as well as shipping and customer service. The RealReal is leading the way in authenticated luxury consignment, online and in real life at our brick and mortar locations.
