Welcome to REX, a revolutionary new global listing platform where it’s free to list and search for properties. A platform where you won’t be bombarded by ads. Where you’re in control of your own data. Where transactions take days, not months. A platform that pays you to participate. This is a very long overdue project I would say .. After living in rental places for last 14 years I was thinking about the same believe or not and glad someone already started working on this .
I checked the white paper.. need more details, so here are few hints /questions
1. Not very clear who your SMEs are from both technical and business side.
2. Gateway to MLS database looks like in alfa stage, any updates on this ?
3. Are you doing any validation from legal side? For example in Florida landlord needs to register his rental property with the city. Would be great if you could embed that part as well.. as well as city data, i.e like city-data.com so the potential renter doesn't need to look elsewhere . + Realtor need to have real estate broker license here, that validation would help too.
4. Short term /vacation rentals - why not ? Same database anyway.
5. Are you going to have exposure to other countries to bring US standards over there ? Scam like double rent or even renting to multiple clients exist in other countries, your platform would reduce risks a lot.
6. Background check is often required with big rental companies as well as realtors require certification - are you going to address that ? That's $75-100 each time to some random people . Maybe some basic part of private data could be password protected in a blockchain as well ?
7. Maybe having a link with movers resources ? What moving companies do : they go to places live uhaul helpers , hire crew for $600-$700 + truck for $100 a day or so and will charge $1500-$2000 clueless renters for local move.
PS
As a summary if you could mention at the end why clients should go with REX mls instead zillow or realtor.com or own broker ?
Thanks !
