About OpenHouse

Property search in India by millennials begins online. There are almost 1 Lakh+ searches each day on various aspects of real estate. These online searches eventually culminate into purchase decisions of a product or service based on information gathered online and verified offline.

Currently, the ecosystem supporting the search intents is mostly listing-based. Listings are synonyms to selling with the information provided favoring the listing owners; Namely, property owners, brokers, intermediaries, aggregators, boards, and developers. The online users end up employing their ‘own research’ based on various sources for decision-making, that too, with a lot of skepticism on the findings.

While all stakeholders offering solutions, online or offline, to the users are ‘pushing’ to sell what is known or managed by them, online users are left at lurch to finalize, the most expensive purchase of once lifetime, on a ‘chance’ to get a good deal. The whole experience of the user journey, to make a sound purchase decision, is full of ‘uncertainty’ and ‘mistrust’.

Thus, in order to transform the decision basis from ‘by chance’ to ‘by choice’ during the ‘discovery’ to ‘transact’ cycle, OpenHouse Community comes in as a one-stop source of ‘authentic’ and ‘trusted’ platform for the user.

OpenHouse community was founded with the focused mission to offer ‘authenticity & trust’, by filing the gaps in the current ecosystem, to enable seamless ‘Shortlisting’ & ‘Selections’ before ‘transacting’. This is achieved by means of the following services:

OpenHouse Reviews:
