But this is a rigged system, in the sense that it gives brokers immense power and makes them essentially indispensable.
I've been thinking about a different way of doing this - totally decentralised.
Each property has its own website (like this: 110bcamdenstreet.com). Each property website has a messenger bot ('Drift') where buyers can chat with sellers.
It turns out direct property websites (like 110bcamdenstreet.com) actually get really good SEO - and its a great way to stay 'on the market' all the time. When things get serious you can get an actual, fixed price broker to take over to close the deal.
Would you pay £500 to get a property website built for your place? Would such a decentralised system work? Would love to get your thoughts
Am I missing something? Is the market really small, is that why Handy.com and others haven't bothered with it? What is it?
As someone who's run small offices (50 ppl) in London, I've personally found it quite hard to keep up with all the things that needed to be done. Cleaning esp is a pain. In the past I've used cleaning services recommended by the building, but its hit or miss really.
I've always wished there was something like an Uber for office services, just press a button and have someone show up to fix or clean up, so that's what I'm building, but just keen to know why it seems no one else has done it before. It just seems like not having to worry about dealing with issues in the office would tremendously boost my and the office managers productivity, hence keen to try this.
