Company Performance Metrics
How do you get from the current broken real estate model that all of the United States uses to transact real estate, and transform it into a mobile experience that allows collaboration and transparency throughout the entire process, and also saves consumers thousands of dollars and weeks of their time... Answer: baby steps - take on a simple piece
of the problem, make it an amazing experience, and add on from there.
Enter HomeBuzz - a Yelp-like experience for homes. Allow real estate professionals to continue doing their job, compete for commissions, separate the weak from the strong, and allow consumers to benefit. Wouldn't you like to know who has seen a home that is for sale, what they thought about it, and how much they thought it would sell for? Better yet, when the home sells, rank each user according to who was closest to the actual sales price. View, in real time, who is commenting on what property, what they are saying, and how good they are at it.
Next baby step - allow users to transact real estate from their mobile device, in real time. Submit an offer, chat with the seller or agent, receive a counter-offer, and work toward an accepted purchase contract, all done within minutes, instead of days.
Next baby step - invite all parties involved in the transaction (lender, escrow agent, appraiser, title officer, home inspector, etc) into the conversation. Setup a to-do list for each party and a timeline. Monitor, in real time, who is responsible for what action, and when that action will be complete. Sign documents, complete addendums, review reports, revise terms, and close the transaction. All of this will be done from any device, from anywhere in the world.
Next (not so) baby step - roll the platform out globally, and allow transactions anywhere in the world, completed in real-time.
This works for rental properties too - San Francisco and NYC were looking at you first.
