Survey: Can I get a show of hands?

[Khenkis K.]

Hey BPers!

For those that don't know, I'm a real estate-oriented programmer. Okay...so what does that even mean? :S

Basically, I want to give back to this awesome community by creating a free desktop app (i.e. open source project for you techies) for all my fine fellow/fellowette investors, licensees, property managers, lurkers :p, I'm sure you get the gist by now. Anyway, this is an idea I've had for a while now since I couldn't find an open source, real estate-related project that can contain my ADHD-like attention span. LOL So, why not create one instead, right? 

With that being said, what's this idea of mine? In nutshell, do you ever want to pull the plug when surfing from site to site to yet another site just to re-enter the same old, repetitive info on a property you're trying to sell/rent? I don't know about you but I do! Consequently, the sole purpose of my desktop app would be to automate this process for you.

All you'll have to do is simply fill out an Excel file with said info (just once), select pictures that showcase the property (just once again), and then click go as you watch the app traverse housing portals (i.e. Zillow, Craigslist, etc.) to take care of this mind-numbing task for you.

Any takers?

And most professionals are using Appfolio, Buildium, Propertyware, ShowMojo, Rently, or other software that syndicates to dozens of sites. Even free software like TenantCloud has this feature available.
