How we make money
If you can't tell how a platform earns, you're the product. Here's our whole model.
What's always free for buyers
Listings, net-yield data, the underwriting calculator, guides, alerts, the pro directory, and every introduction. We never charge buyers, and we never take a commission on your purchase.
1 · Success fees from vetted partners
When a deal closes with an agency or developer we introduced, they pay us a published referral fee. It's the same fee regardless of which partner you choose — so we have no incentive to steer you. Partners are vetted on licensing, track record, and response time; slow or pushy partners are delisted.
2 · Software for the industry (coming)
Paid tools for agencies (a CRM built for international closings) and for owners (portfolio net-yield tracking). Subscription software — separate from what buyers see, and it never affects rankings.
What we will never do
No pay-to-rank in listings or the pro directory. No selling your contact details. No hidden markups on pro fees. No commission-based steering. If a listing or pro appears above another, it's because the data says so — the sort logic is printed on the page.
