The Opportunity

Problem

Freelance proptech developers can't secure consistent real estate clients because property managers favor established agencies, causing feast-or-famine income cycles.

Solution

SteadyProp curates ongoing maintenance and update gigs from property managers, assigning them to vetted solo devs for repeat work. Freelancers get scheduled hours without hunting, breaking the feast-famine cycle. Clients enjoy reliable dev support at agency fractions.
