Finding commercial real estate
The commercial real estate (CRE) market is massive and growing, but existing digital platforms like LoopNet, CoStar, and Crexi face significant user complaints regarding high costs, poor data quality, inaccurate listings, and frustrating user experiences. Property managers also struggle with systemic issues like inefficient maintenance, noise complaints, and complex lease management. These widespread pains present substantial opportunities for indie hackers to develop specialized software solutions.

"If owners didn't inquire about Costar/LoopNet exposure (I believe they do so because of habit), we would only exclusively post on CREXI."
