Easiest way to set appointments with real estate leads

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a scheduling tool that connects real estate agents directly with prospective home buyers and sellers to set appointments without back-and-forth calls or emails. Our platform simplifies managing leads and booking meetings so agents can focus on closing deals.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

Wayne is in Birmingham, AL, and Hassan works remotely. After YC, the company would likely remain based out of Birmingham with a hybrid remote team.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We started in Birmingham where Wayne is located and Hassan works remotely. This lets us keep costs low and tap into local real estate networks while staying flexible to hire talent remotely.
