The Problem

2

$1 trillionNo other industry allows agents to systematically represent both sides of a transaction... because of this,

No one brand is specializing in appropriately servicing and protecting the buyer - the entire brokerage industry is seller- centric, with no clear choice for buyers.

Online search, based on information supplied by SELLING AGENTS is biased and misrepresents the underlying truth of properties.

Searches are hit-and-miss because there are no tools, systems or processes in place that define what the BUYER really wants.

Once a buyer has established a price and a location - there are numerous subjective factors that now become the most important - we are quantifying those factors and making them actionable.

We are modeling our technology services after dating sites rather than existing real estate search models.

We go beyond price, location and size to drill down deeper into a buyer’s unique preferences.

Agents drive Scale

What makes us more appealing to agents?

Greater Deal Flow / Faster Cycles

Buyers buy in 8-10 weeks

Listings take 22-28 weeks to Sell.

Consistent agent revenue from property ratings

Higher Commission Structure – no overhead associated with marketing listings

Better lifestyle and culture – Agents prefer working with Buyers as opposed to servicing listings that may never sell.

There are several factors that will enable the model to scale quickly
