The problem
Many homes stay empty or unsold for a long time because of dark photos, vague listings and slow replies to interested people.
The solution
A ready-made package: bright smartphone photos, a clear listing with price and details, posting on local sites and groups, and screening of first questions.
Your customers
Private owners renting out or selling a home, small landlords, owners living far away and small agencies with no time to polish their listings.
How you make money
Package of €60 to €150 per property (photos, listing, posting), with an extra fee for handling first messages and viewings.
Competition
Estate agencies, professional photographers, owners who post listings themselves and sites selling boosted listings.
Who has an edge
A careful person with a good phone, who writes well and replies fast, becomes the go-to helper for owners in the neighbourhood.
The risks
Irregular orders depending on the season, local rules on property brokerage to respect, clients who only want to pay once the home is rented or sold.
The first 3 steps
- Do the photos and listing for two homes of people you know, for free
- Prepare a listing template and a list of sites and groups to post on
- Offer the package to owners with "for rent" signs in your area
How the numbers are calculated
Example in a high-income eurozone country, at month 12: revenue €1,900 − costs €600 = €1,300 net per month. Revenue: 19 properties × €100 a month. Costs: transport, mobile data, boosted listings, insurance, social contributions. For other countries, Mundyo adjusts the starting budget to the price level (World Bank) and the income to prices and customers' purchasing power, then converts at the day's exchange rate.
