Also, through the contacts and lead-flow my agent has, he ends up getting better qualified tenants who pay more than I would do myself, listing on craigslist.
He also handles all credit checks, background checks, etc.. on his own dime.
The link seems to redirect away from the post and straight into an email collector on the homepage.
But this aside, it's nice to see yet another start-up tackling the fact real estate transactions are less Amazon and more queuing for welfare.
We've seen, in London, New York and San Fran that merely putting the transaction online to cut out agents doesn't resonate with the vast majority of landlords. They aren't price sensitive, regardless of what they say. Their actions prove otherwise: consistently paying heavy fees, taking the first tenant with a reasonable offer and often not updating the property to increase tenant interest.
Happy to chat about what we're doing at Wigwamm to create incentive for landlords and agents to participate in a single market (tweet us out @WigwammHQ).
