Isn't it time that a property portal existed that was actually on the agents' side? But genuinely so?"
OpenBrix is set to completely modernize and progress the experience of buying, selling and renting real estate by cultivating a community-led platform wrapped with a spirit of transparency, collaboration, innovation and integrity.
Due to be launched in early April OpenBrix will initially be offering agents 100% free listings until the Coronavirus situation improves plus a palatable ongoing monthly fee thereafter of only £100 per agent, regardless of the number of property listings. The platform has been designed and built using blockchain to ensure complete transparency to both agents and customers and unlike any other platform available today will take power away from shareholders and put it firmly in the hands of the agency community itself.
How? Because all significant decisions that OpenBrix makes including agent pricing, especially in times of crisis, will be made by member agents themselves - not a distant board of directors or corporate shareholders. Agents will truly hold the power. This approach is not only written into the company's member agreements and articles but is indelibly built into the blockchain back-end itself.
True, transparent democratisation.
And it's about time.
