@Greg H. this completely makes sense to me, thank you for the thoughtful response! I agree, it seems like the nature of work for a real estate agents is shifting and we really need to make sure that both agents and buyers are utilizing the myriad of tools, platforms, and information out there at their greatest disposal. buyers and sellers need to be educated enough to do some of the due diligence on their own. I don’t believe that has been fully resolved for yet.

@Alecia Loveless thank you so much! What market are you in if I may ask?

I am a seasoned investor but still would like to look to agents to compile market data, provide insight into MLS info that I do not have, provide industry trends, and give recommendations. This is a baseline. I would also like for agents to provide recommendations for homes that I have not seen rather than me doing all of the search work. I do not feel like that is the case, especially in a hot market like Austin where agents are looking for the next big deal and don't want to spend time at a computer doing to diligence. At this point, I feel as the agents are not doing their job, and I might as well just represent myself. Thoughts?

@Ryan Kelly best answer I’ve seen. Thank you! Agree - price to rent is too high for real cash flow, but I don’t doubt the short term rental opportunities or long term residential growth.

Has anyone had any experience in building an application related to real estate? Would love to hear your process and journey to date!

My partner and I are interested in exploring this market and would love to hear a little more about the neighborhoods that you think do well and how competitive the market is right now.

I see the pros and cons of course in a hot market but would like to know what others opinions are either in a similar market or people who are in Austin right now. For context, I have been living in Austin my entire life and am ultimately bullish, for good reason, but would love to hear others takes.

@Eric James Thank you so much!
