As you might know I have been working in the real estate industry back in 2007, while I was
in the Silicon Valley. It was very interesting to work on how you may use new technologies
to boost your business. At this time, real estate agents were starting using social networks like
Facebook, blogs and LinkedIn to get in touch with their clientele, but technology has evolved
fast since then. Especially mobile technologies.
has been built by a French company (cocorico!). The goal is to locate commercial real

real agents companies, websites and even peer to peer networks. Therefore, coming with an
added value service into the market, on a new mobile medium which seems to be promising, I
believe it is a great idea. What do you think about it?
