Show HN: Enviar.io – Real estate landing pages
- webjames 9y agoIs there an example of what a landing page would look like?
- rawrmaan 9y agoThis. Product looks awesome but without any examples I couldn't see myself converting.
- teleclimber 9y agoDitto. Show me the goods before you start making me do work (filling forms). However it may be an MVP. Has anybody bothered going through the process to the end?
- usernamebias 9y agoYes. The three pages that flow in when the website loads, they look like that. I'm hoping to add more 'themes' in the future.
- libria 9y agoCan you add some live page examples? And can you add more average houses, like 3 bed 2 bath? Most of us are a few tiers away from that 8000 sq ft, ocean-side, indoor pool property.
- jdavis703 9y agoEh, I think what they really need are just example pages. It's fine if marketing material is aspirational, after all this person is going after real estate agents, not home buyers.
- rawrmaan 9y agoThe problem is, if we can't see the the whole page, we don't know if the page displays more info than what's in the screenshot when we scroll down. Turns out, there's not much, at least in the sample page that another user created, so maybe that's why you didn't show more.

- rokhayakebe 9y agoSo I have friends who spend about 1/2 million dollars monthly on digital marketing driving traffic to landing pages. This product "sounds" exactly like what they need and I thought "let me forward this link." Then I see no demo or screenshots, my next thought "perhaps I shouldn't."
- captainbeardo 9y agoWhy only do real estate? Why not do landing pages for simple physical products, enterprise SaaS software or mobile apps. Real question though what do people actually use for the above ?
- Kluny 9y agoReal estate is a good target because developers will frequently crank out a new website for each new development, which will be used for six months or a year until the units are sold, then mothballed. The requirements of such a site are well defined and simple, and the short lifespan means there's no point in spending much money on them. Still, they have to look like money. Source: developed real estate websites for several years.
- danenania 9y agoApart from Kluny's points, focusing on a single niche makes things easier in the beginning. It's better to be THE landing page builder for Real Estate than one among hundreds of general landing page builders.
- usernamebias 9y agoI'm hoping to expand this to other markets too. Everyone needs fast, beautiful landing pages. Real estate is a market i'm intimate with, so i'd figure its a good start
- mrskitch 9y agoI don't have much to add, except to say that this landing looks incredible. Well done!
- usernamebias 9y agothank you! :')
- jbsf66 9y agoDoes Enviar have any integrations with any of the real estate focused CRMs like Contactually?
- usernamebias 9y agoComing soon!!! Its so young and i'm so tired of coding! But expect integrations with the biggest CRM and DB's in the biz.
- IncRnd 9y agoThere is a bug, where the # of bathrooms are listed as bedrooms, in addition to bedrooms being correctly listed as bedrooms.
- usernamebias 9y agofixed :)
- amelius 9y agoBug found! The terms of service are way (really, way!) too complicated for such a simple product. (And, by the way, there must be a million other free services which allow one to put some images and text on the web, so why choose this one? The landing page should really explain that. And it should include some demos at least.)
- usernamebias 9y agoHi! Thank you for using Enviar! The ToS covers all bases now, so that when i start adding more features it does not need to be updated. I'm hoping to take a small bite of the landing page market by making it crazy easy for people (real estate for now) to make sites. I could never hope to compete with Instapage or Unbounce, not yet anyways ;)
- sync 9y agoThey're also stolen (borrowed?) from https://unbounce.com/terms-of-service/ https://unbounce.com/terms-of-service/ Compare to https://enviar.io/terms-of-service.html https://enviar.io/terms-of-service.html
- usernamebias 9y agoBingo! Find and Replace :')
- nikkwong 9y agoI get that that's a problem, but when trying to get a MVP out fast and validate an idea I think privacy policies & TOS' seem like a formality that will be figured out later if the business does actually happen to become profitable. Correct me if I'm wrong?
- CameronBanga 9y agoYou are wrong. You shouldn't put legal terms or policies on your site if you don't understand the legal ramifications of doing so, and how it will influence your business.

- fiatjaf 9y ago"Enviar" means "to send" in Portuguese.
- usernamebias 9y agoalso in spanish!! That's where it comes form.
- emilecantin 9y agoShameless plug: I work on another landing-page generator, https://tylio.com/ https://tylio.com/
- usernamebias 9y agoha! new member to the club? Wish me luck, mate!
- emilecantin 9y agoNot really new, we've been working on this for 2 years... But yeah, good luck! Real estate is a pretty hard market to crack, but there's money to be had there.
- pacomerh 9y agoWhats the deal with not including demos
- ianhawes 9y agoShameless plug: I also work on another landing-page generator: https://realtykit.net https://realtykit.net
- emilecantin 9y agoLooks neat!
- sincerely 9y agoJust curious, why do you censor "fucking" but not "bullshit" in the same sentence?
- emilecantin 9y agoI don't know, I'd have to ask the guy who wrote said sentence! (I'm not alone at Tylio, we're a small startup in Montreal)

- antibland 9y agoI'm tired of website builders who, themselves, have terrible plumbing. https://goo.gl/2VRrg8 https://goo.gl/2VRrg8 Edit Wrong URL! Correct URL: https://goo.gl/tsc6cF https://goo.gl/tsc6cF
- ARCarr 9y agoYou used the wrong URL.
- dang 9y agoThe abrasive swipe in your comment means that it breaks the HN guidelines, especially for Show HNs. There's no call for that, so please don't do it. I'm sure you could find a way to phrase the substantive part thoughtfully if you wanted to. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html
- michaelmior 9y agoWould be nice to have some indication of pricing before I jump in.
- usernamebias 9y agoYou're absolutely right. Were hoping to expand the landing page soon with a pricing section. for now: 3 Pages - Free 10 Pages - $25/m 25 Pages - $50/m Unlimited Pages - $100/m

- StriverGuy 9y agoI would make a bet top brokerage firms would pay way more than 100/month for the ability to create quick and beautiful pages for prime listings. Site looks great.
- bovermyer 9y agoAs someone who is looking for property to buy... I would not use landing pages like this. I want a fully-fledged search engine that I can filter to my requirements. Have you talked to any realtors (your primary market?) about this?
- africajam 9y agoI've created an open source project for scraping real estate sites: https://github.com/RealEstateWebTools/property_web_scraper https://github.com/RealEstateWebTools/property_web_scraper You could use it to save people the trouble of filling out all the details for their property - they just provide the url for the property on a portal site that is supported and you import the details from there.
