DIFFERENTIATORS VS. THE COMPETITION
The only direct competitor we know of is associationevaluation.com.
They are a manual evaluation of a condo building. This process is long, laborsome and hard to scale. CondoGrade simplifies this process by providing real-time or 24-hour turned around reports utilizing our proprietary algorithm to weigh all the factors from public, private and association data.
BUSINESS MODEL
$39 for one condo association report, $99 for five reports. Custom enterprise options available.
