01 — The Problem & The Market

The €30B Representation Gap:
Why EU real estate is broken.

The system doesn't fail at closing — it fails at deciding. This sustains €5B in embedded commissions for biased, low-value representation, in a €1.5T market where buyers are effectively orphaned.

01
🏚

The Orphaned Buyer

Less than 5% of EU buyers have independent representation — compared to 60% in the US. No independent, data-driven advocates exist for the buyer's side of the transaction.

02
📋

Shortlist Fatigue

Human agents lack research rigor, sending "noise" instead of "signal" — leading to wasted viewings, wrong decisions, and months of unproductive searching in unfamiliar markets.

03
⚖️

Misaligned Goals

Agents push their own inventory to maximize commission. 90% of the buyer journey is high-pressure sales — a fundamental conflict of interest that the industry has never resolved.

02 — The Solution

Directimo: Europe's AI Buyer Agent
for vacation properties.

Replacing the human buyer-agent function with AI. Built for the agentic future — decision-grade data and an MCP layer accessible by AI buyer agents. Directimo becomes the platform of choice when buyers delegate property decisions to AI.

01

Decision-Grade Marketplace

Full market coverage (Resales & New Developments) through smart aggregation. We deduplicate and verify data to provide a single, quality-documented source of truth across Europe.

02

Agentic Qualification

Nurtures long-term leads and escalates high-intent buyers 24/7. Replaces manual agent-buyer interaction journey entirely — with Voice AI prequalification filtering 90% of unqualified leads before any human involvement.

03

Decision Calibration Engine

Mathematical "signal" over "noise." Resolves ROI vs. lifestyle trade-offs using 3,000+ deep-dive sessions. In 95% of cases, buyers' initial requirements don't match market reality — our DCE bridges that gap.

04

Efficiency Sharing

Hybrid last-mile with local experts. Our 65% productivity gain is shared with the buyer via an Efficiency Dividend — delivered as cashback or premium services, fueling a powerful referral flywheel.

03 — Platform Architecture

Classic innovator's dilemma.

Dimension Directimo Real Estate Portals Real Estate Agencies
Revenue Model Commission on success Listing fees (€500–5K) Commission on success
Focus Full buyer journey Seller exposure Local transactions
Buyer Data Full journey — online + offline Lost at first click Fragmented
Data Accuracy Decision-grade Duplicated, not up to date Limited local data
AI Capability AI-first architecture Search filters None
Cross-Border Core expertise Generic Limited

Incumbents cannot transition without killing their existing business. Their model = listing fees from property advertisers. Our model = success commissions with full services integration for international buyers. The structural conflict makes it impossible to copy.
