RealTrade is a real estate marketplace where the community owns the platform. If you're an agent, no more buying leads from Zillow; interested buyers can contact you directly.

Great first hunt @mohnacky! Hi Ryan! Great to meet you through Florida Entreprenuers, love your passion for this industry and glad to see you got a warm welcome here on Product Hunt. I’m a real estate dabbler, will be checking RealTrade out the next time I’m exploring the market. I definitely see how this can offer a better buying experience for people looking to purchase a home. I would love to see some examples of the social aspects you mention on your landing page. What about me as a homeowner...when I want to sell my home can I list it on RT? Marketplaces are one of the hardest types of startups to build, anyway that the South Florida community can support you let us know and congratulations on the launch!

@mohnacky @mdorsett thanks for the kind words! Yes you can see the social interactions by creating a member profile and following myself realtrade.io/profile/43d724 and some of the other agents. There is some great off-market and coming soon properties plus content being posted on the social feed. We pull all the data for properties from the MLS so if you have your home on MLS it will be on Realtrade :) . The cool thing is you could also have your agent post to RealTrade social and be a great way to generate early buzz for your property. Hope that answers your questions. Thank for everything Miriam!

I met @ryan_poole2 from the 1909 and was really impressed by what he's building at Real Trade! I love how Real Trade is focused on helping realtors, but would definitely love to see a more mobile-friendly product. Any ETA on that?
Ryan Poole
@jeffweisbein the mobile friendly ETA is with in the next 30 days. Excited for you to try it. :)

I think the most interesting thing about this company is that they are giving agents the power back from big tech. Companies like Zillow wouldn't exist without Real Estate agents' listing data. @ryan_poole2 What would you say is the biggest value from your POV?
Ryan Poole
@mohnacky You are correct Zillow became a $27B company off the backs of hard workings agents data. There are two obvious value creations with RealTrade. 1. RealTrade gives the agents control of their data (Aka Listings) and they receive calls directly and can actually build a online presence off of their data unlike Zillow. The buyers and sellers like this as well as they can get questions answered quickly and get the best data directly from the content creators aka listing agent. This is a big value for both agents and buyers and sellers 2. Is our business model. RealTrade does not monetize the platform though selling leads we allow Mortage brokers, title companies, real estate attys, and etc to organically connect with agents for referral business though our social media component they simply pay a subscription fee to do so. Also the biggest part of our model is we are community owned and curated by real estate agents. They can capture the value off their data not only from direct leads but actually shares of stock in RealTrade this is very disruptive. It is the blockchain model where the network owns the network it secures. IMO it is the future of platforms and very disruptive. The agents love the concept and if you are a owner you care more about and promote the platform.

I met Ryan at 1909, our co-working space in West Palm. Real Trade stuck out to me because it empowers agents to own their data while giving buyers a superior buying experience to Zillow. The product is still in its infancy but looks great and works well. I'm excited to see where it can go for the sake of the industry. Check it out!
Ryan Poole
@mohnacky thanks for the hunt Nick! There is nothing like RealTrade in the marketplace. Community owned and curated platforms are the future!

Mr Horipodo a
Thank you for your review and for sharing your experience with RealTrade. It can be a very helpful resource for real estate sellers. I would like to learn more about how this app can help real estate buyers. I'm constantly monitoring real estate websites lately and turned to santa monica realtor for help. My family and I are planning to move to santa monica and are looking for a large home there. If your app can help me find more attractive offers, I would be insanely happy! Write your recommendations pls

I've always dreamed of a little cabin in the middle of the woods. I want to thank myself for the tips in this thread because I didn't know what I wanted from this property, but I knew I could find the perfect variant. It is essential for the place not to be long-distance from home and have access to the road. But I don't think I'd want to have neighbors around the house because I'd want some privacy. I would use my cabin to stay alone when I want to run away from the city and the job. I don't know how to choose my property, but I recently found this blog https://financialfreedomcountdow..., and I hope it will be helpful.

As someone actively in the real estate market right now, this is a very cool product and a great interface!
Ryan Poole
@matt_pressberg Thanks! I really feel this business model is the future.

The website is very simple and straightforward. Love the design, I already created an account and am actively using it. How will you get brokers added quickly to scale?
Ryan Poole
@darthv83r thanks for signing up and using the platform and the feedback. Yes we have a very exciting way to get brokers to sign up. 1. its free and they make a profile and we import their listings so they get free leads off their content. So no brainer to make a profile. 2. We have this awesome Referal points system if agents/brokers refer fellow agents and they then get value back from RealTrade.
Kayra Yasa
Community owned platforms for the win!
Ryan Poole
@kayra_yasa wow thank you. Yes community owned platforms are my passion and I feel are going to change the business paradigm. Love to connect here is my profile on Realtrade- https://realtrade.io/profile/43d724

I recommend RealTrade as the upcoming new competitor to Zillow, Trulia and Realtor. This new software is a great new tool out there for real estate agents, brokers and more. It’s a level-up experience on how buyers/sellers can connect with realtors, and how realtors can build a social-following in an easy-to-use web-based platform. As a marketing director that has a background in two construction SaaS companies over the years, this real estate tech startup is the real deal. I look forward to seeing more!
Ryan Poole
@evonne_powers thanks! There is a lot more great things happening in the near future. Glad you like the platform.

A great solution if you're a real estate agent , either starting or with some clientele already. But a piece of advice: make sure to work on your GMB and marketing! Peace :)
Shivam Ramphal
Love the idea @ryan_poole2. It give off an environmental effect for all real-estate agents and buyers to connect. To then find the right location locally than a ordinary location. 🔥🔥🔥
