Questions/Pondering

Do we know anything about the delta between the estimated rental price and the signed rental price?
Transactions might make sense for agents, but does it make sense for anyone else? Transactional support is few-and-far-between for landlords with only a few properties. A landlord with one property has to sign a lease at most once per year. Rent payment should be set-it-and-forget-it. If we want them to care about us beyond the transactions, we’re going to have to provide some things that aren’t transaction-based.
How should the dashboard be different for agents, landlords, and property managers?
Contact manager, by property and purpose — e.g. plumber for Adeline St, handyman for Helen St.


Data Questions

What proportion of properties are added to the platform without a landlord/owner contact?
How many landlords sign up weekly?
How many landlords are also agents?
Where are landlords signing up from? Do we know if they’re organic versus partner/agent invitation etc?
