A game-changing app, Abodey, has just been introduced in Australia, offering home buyers the opportunity to discover properties that perfectly match their preferences and requirements. The app also levels the playing field by giving users access to exclusive property data—insider information typically used by real estate agents to list and promote homes.
Traditionally available only through paid services like CoreLogic and RP Data, this property data is essential for real estate professionals in determining prices and promoting properties. It has long been inaccessible to the wider public.
Jo Agresta, Co-Founder and CEO of Abodey, highlights that Abodey revolutionizes the real estate landscape by shifting the power dynamics, placing buyers in control—a much-needed change. Homebuyers are no longer dependent on exaggerated claims from real estate agents or flashy marketing tactics. Instead, they now have access to genuine industry data, allowing them to understand the true value of a property and make more informed decisions about what to spend.
The app provides users with the tools to independently assess property values, empowering them to navigate the real estate market with confidence. This move toward transparency ensures that buyers have the information they need, without the typical sales-driven narrative from agents.
The brainchild of property expert Jo Agresta and tech visionary Anand Sridharan, Abodey leverages Agresta’s deep industry knowledge, honed through the popular ‘No B.S. Real Estate’ podcast, to revolutionize the home buying process.
The app provides essential data on the property itself, as well as information about surrounding properties, sales history, and proximity to schools, medical services, shops, and other important facilities. All this is tailored to meet the specific lifestyle needs and requirements of buyers.
Recognizing the challenges of the home-buying process, Agresta acknowledges how time-consuming and emotionally taxing it can be. Searching through various real estate platforms and sifting through the many details of listings only adds to the frustration. She also highlights that many properties on the market often come with limited details, a tactic used to attract a wide range of potential buyers. Abodey eliminates this issue by ensuring that only listings tailored to the user’s specific needs and preferences are delivered to them.
Users of Abodey can quickly set up a profile and complete a straightforward onboarding process, which gathers relevant information to match them with the most suitable property options. This makes the process efficient and personalized for each buyer.
The Abodey app sources data from a wide range of platforms and repositories, including ABS data, property data, PropTrack, Landchecker, Hotspotting, realestate.com.au, and several other property listing and information sites. This comprehensive data collection helps ensure that users receive the most relevant and accurate property information.
Leveraging the latest AI technology, the app gathers and processes data from various property sale platforms, delivering the most relevant listings to Abodey users. The AI also features a language model customized to match the user’s experience level. Whether a first-time homebuyer or someone with previous property purchases, the AI tailors the information to ensure it’s presented in an easily understandable way.
Abodey streamlines the home-buying process by doing the heavy lifting for users. It helps them avoid wasting time on properties that don’t meet their criteria or are located in areas with low growth potential, ensuring they focus only on the most promising options.
Agresta is confident that the demand for the app will be high, drawing from her experience as both a real estate agent and a buyer’s agent. Having worked closely with many home buyers to help them find the right property, she understands the challenges involved. Abodey streamlines the process with a user-friendly, AI-powered system, enabling home buyers to access it quickly and easily from their mobile devices.
Abodey is designed to streamline the home-buying process and mitigate the risk of overpaying or purchasing in an unsuitable location. Beyond assisting buyers in identifying the ideal property, the platform also facilitates connections with essential service providers, such as conveyancing solicitors, removalists, mortgage brokers, and buyer’s agents. By bundling these services, Abodey aims to create a more efficient and enjoyable home-buying journey.
The often stressful process of negotiating a home purchase can be significantly simplified with Abodey. By empowering buyers with real-time industry data, the app enables informed offers. The ultimate goal is to assist buyers in finding their dream home within a six-week timeframe, while simultaneously minimizing the likelihood of overpaying.
