Hey Nice One Simran, Don't forget one thing: They had the right idea and they had the financial backing.- The 2 most important factors. The partnership is for the product and to grow the product here and overseas. Realetstae.com.au is a slighlty different offering. There are gadzillion listing sites which do the same thing list properties for buyers to view and take some action like send and email, print a brochure, visit an open house. But they were there first and the name sticks. I cannot see any other reason why they dominate this market. Our products are aimed at the real estate agent. Not the buyer or seller. Its got several USPs but I will leave that for advanced stage discussions. To aim to disrupt the market will probably bring a wrong focus. But there is always space for innovation and progress despite what may seem like formidable competition.
Thanks for filling in.
