Connects Developers and Investors to build Real Estate
Developers/Syndicators: When developers and syndicators join the app, they create profiles with details about their real estate projects. This includes property descriptions, location, and uploaded images.
Investors: Investors set up profiles with their investment preferences. They specify the types of properties they are interested in, such as residential, commercial, or industrial, along with investment size and location preferences.
Developers/Syndicators: Developers and syndicators can upload relevant details related to their real estate projects. These documents may include property images, property location, size, and more. These details can be viewed by investors who use the app to swipe through property listings.
Investor Access: Investors can upload their bio and other details such as location, age, etc, which can be viewed by Developers who were swiped right on.
Matching Algorithm: The app employs a matching algorithm similar to Tinder's swiping mechanism. Developers, syndicators, and investors can browse profiles and swipe right (like) or left (dislike) on profiles that align with their interests.
Matches: Investors swipe on Developers, which registers as a "match" which lets them chat with each other.
In-App Messaging: Once a match is established, users can communicate with each other through an in-app messaging system. This feature enables them to discuss potential real estate projects, investment opportunities, and collaboration details.
Secure and Private: Conversations are secure and private, ensuring that sensitive information remains confidential.
