Meet Reshma Thakore

In this episode of Deal Finder's Corner, Guillaume Black, CEO and Co-Founder of Property Filter, welcomes Reshma Thakore, the Co-Founder of Sitefindr. With over a decade of experience in estate agency work, Reshma shares her journey from running a successful estate agency to pioneering a national property platform. Alongside her partner, Hav, Reshma has built Sitefindr to facilitate seamless connections between property sources and investors, ensuring that only high-quality deals are presented.

Reshma delves into the creation of Sitefindr, a platform that has quickly become a go-to resource for investors and property sources alike. The focus is on how Sitefindr maintains high standards of quality and compliance while offering a streamlined process for buying and selling property deals. This article will cover the key points discussed in the episode, providing actionable insights for property investors and sources.

The birth of Sitefindr

Reshma Thakore and her team identified a gap in the property investment market. While working as estate agents, they realised the need for a platform that could offer more than just listings. They wanted to create a space where property sources could present deals that had already been vetted for quality, and where investors could access these deals with the confidence that they were secure and profitable.

"We are pioneering a national property platform designed to match property sources and investors with a focus on presenting only good quality deals that sell really fast."

This vision led to the creation of Sitefindr, a platform that goes beyond traditional property listings. The platform focuses on off-market deals that have been negotiated and secured, ensuring that investors are not wasting time on deals that may fall through.

Why Sitefindr stands out

Sitefindr differentiates itself from other platforms through its rigorous vetting process. Only about 20% of the deals submitted to Sitefindr make it through to the platform. This high standard is what allows investors to trust that the deals they see on Sitefindr are genuinely valuable.

Quality control

Reshma emphasised the importance of quality in property deals. She explained how Sitefindr’s team performs thorough due diligence on every deal before it is listed on the platform. This includes checking the property’s condition, ensuring that the deal is secured with the seller, and confirming that the financials stack up.

"The idea is that Sitefindr will facilitate the qualification and matching of investors and deals while taking care of compliance and all the sales progression. Quality breeds quality."  

This level of scrutiny ensures that only the best deals are presented to investors, and as a result, deals on Sitefindr often sell within 48 to 72 hours.

The benefits for investors and deal sources

For investors:

Investors using Sitefindr can expect to find off-market deals that are pre-qualified and secured. This means that when they show interest in a deal, they can be confident that the seller is committed and that the deal will go through smoothly.

"Investors can be rest assured that if they're showing interest in a deal, it's pre-qualified and secured, ensuring a smooth and trustworthy process from start to finish."

The platform also provides investors with access to professional services, including solicitors and finance companies, to ensure that the entire process is handled efficiently.

For deal sources:

For those who source property deals, Sitefindr offers a unique opportunity to focus on what they do best—finding and negotiating deals—without worrying about the administrative burden of compliance and sales progression. Deal sources can upload their deals to the platform for free, and if the deal is approved and sold, they earn a substantial fee.

With its rigorous vetting process and comprehensive support for both investors and deal sources, Sitefindr ensures that only the best deals are available, and that the process of buying and selling these deals is as smooth as possible.
