10 Min Realty & Instant Showings
I came across 10 min realty this morning.
Request a showing, instantly.
Sounds like another CurbCall.
The big questions:
- How will buyers hear about the app?
- How do you get enough liquidity of agents in a given area to deliver showings in real time?
- What type of agents will agree to be on-call?
I’d love thoughts from the 10 min realty team on the discussion here.

Posted at 02:15h, 10 FebruaryI must be missing something with these types of startups. What problem are they solving? Access? Clearly it’s an agent-is-a-commodity (or maybe even hurdle) model – certainly not about buyer representation, anyway – so why not just call the listing agent? There’s no more direct path to access than that.
I’ve scratched my head with these curb call business models. Nobody buys a house like they buy a cheeseburger. The itch doesn’t need to be scratched in 5 minutes. If the seller cannot accommodate a showing for several hours, it’s completely understandable.

Posted at 08:33h, 10 FebruaryDid you take a look at curbcall’s home page? They’ve repositioned the offering quite a bit…. I suspect 10 min realty is going to learn the same lessons.
