Oliver, A New Apartment Finding App, Seeks to Eliminate Brokers
After raising $1 million seed round from New York real estate angels, Oliver, a new apartment-fixing app that aggregates rent inventory directly from landlords and managers, seeks to eliminate the brokerage layer, or “the middleman,” by connecting renters seamlessly with apartments.
"'All the other players - Zillow, Trulia, StreetEasy, RentHop, NakedApartments - are 'lead generation' platforms and their revenue model comes from charging middle men. We plan on eliminating that by becoming Uber for rental where you actually connect directly, seamlessly with the apartment/landlord,' said Shemesh."
