Market context
Why this real estate page exists
A focused read on Marketplace operations demand in Boston.
The Marketplace operations angle is strongest when marketplaces fail when matching quality and operational follow-through are weak. In real estate, that usually means staying close to Agents, investors, property managers, proptech builders and measuring the workflow before scaling the product.
Skim HQ treats this as a decision page, not a generic list. The goal is to connect Boston demand, real estate buyer pain, and a practical transaction fee path.

Real Estate buyer fit
The likely buyer set starts with agents, investors, property managers, proptech builders. They need a visible outcome, not a broad platform claim.
