One company that wants to change is Gitcha, a marketplace that helps buyers and tenants create public notices of desired properties. The company, originally active in Arizona, said in a press release on February 21 that it launched its operations in California with the aim of supporting consumers in the Los Angeles fire prevention market.
The company said it was waiting until 2026 to start operations in Golden State.
“Jitter has added a special feature to specify it in their desire list if users are relegated to a fire. As part of their support, Jitter has added all the features on the platform for users in Southern California. They will abandon their fees indefinitely,” the release states.

The California Association of Realtors (CAR) issued an open letter in February to help Californians who have been evacuated by recent wildfires understand and avoid the common pitfalls they have when recovering from disasters. It has been featured in outlets across the country and in many new California sources.
