Company Description
Vision Fundamentally changing the home buying processWhen we launched in mid-2017, our initial vision was simple - make it more convenient and affordable to tour homes. Since then, we've expanded our mission to one that is more ambitious and disruptive. Our long-term objectives Enable buyers to independently search for homes, schedule tours and make offers on properties - either with or without an agent.Build a vertically integrated home buying experience. This means a single platform that the home buyer can use to shop for a home, tour a home, and get a mortgage.Build a digital closing experience that leverages remote online notarization to facilitate a fully online closing. Create network effects and scale through multiple listing service data providers who interoperate with our digital showing technology.Establishing network effectsWe are opening up an entirely new revenue channel with our beta product, Toura. Toura is a B2B, SaaS product that allows for online scheduling of showings via an API to local MLS. This one deserves even more detail so check out further info below:Today, SimpleShowing operates in 3 states and 5 major markets. After launching our 5th market (Dallas, TX) in 2020, we began researching and planning which markets to open next and when. Around the same time, we began to see an increase in inquiries from independent/3rd party real estate agents who were interested in leveraging our technology or bringing SimpleShowing to their local market. Through many conversations and much research, we discovered there may be a better (and faster) way of opening new markets in a more scalable way. This was when and how the exciting idea for Toura was birthed. Across the US, there's an appetite for better showing technology and even for Self-Tour. This is something we've spent three years building and refining. Now, our charge is to re-package SimpleShowing's technology and market it to MLS's, brokerages and agents throughout the country. Let's gooo!
