The static model is dead
95% of real estate transactions in Spain begin on digital portals. Yet two-dimensional photography creates a low-fidelity information environment that destroys agencies' operational value. When every listing is presented in the same format, differentiation disappears and price becomes the only competitive variable.

Only price differentiates
