All communication will take place via UC Davis email, ensuring a direct and convenient channel for buyers and sellers to interact. Buyers can initiate these conversations from any listing page to reach out to sellers for inquiries or negotiations. Once a seller is contacted, buyers will receive a confirmation email that their inquiry has been sent, and sellers will be able to directly reply to it through their inbox. These email conversations will be private, just like traditional email exchanges, safeguarding the confidentiality and privacy of the discussions.
