Yeah I mean the ibuying market i interesting - Zillow's main issue seemed to be that they couldn't build the army of contractors they needed to successfully flip houses. Also the just be really good at one thing applies here.
I reckon you could get a virtual assistant to be doing most of the legwork, charge a flat fee and offer a semi-turnkey solution and B/E. You'd have so much data that you'd be able to monetise it brilliantly on the backend. Probably one for the big conveyancing firms but not sure if there is conflict of interest stuff :shrug:

Property buying agents exist for high end stuff but I can’t see how the fee pool in the average transaction is big enough to support hiring really competent people, and there’s no tech solution.
