The Opportunity

Problem

Small property management businesses incur high customer acquisition costs in proptech from relying on expensive real estate leads while competing against giants like Zillow.

Solution

LeadSwapProp lets small property managers post leads they can't service and instantly match with others in different areas, turning rejects into revenue. Users browse, claim, and pay a small fee per swap, slashing CAC from paid sources. Built for quick matches with location filters to avoid competition.

Target Audience

Small property management businesses operating in proptech

Differentiator

Peer-to-peer lead swapping exclusively for small PMs, with zero inventory risk and hyper-local matching ignored by big aggregators.
