Company Summary

Jove launched 2 mobile apps, connecting home shoppers' showing requests with nearby agents. Data revealed that of $42M in requests, over 55% were unanswered. Agents particularly left rentals and properties selling under market average unanswered. In response to the accessibility issue, Jove repositioned its tech toward the unserviced market, leveraging ad spend and referral commission from real estate agents in exchange for access to new clients.
