Housebook is a platform that gathers new-build properties from different countries into one catalogue and lets a buyer compare them directly. Every listing shows a price in the developer's own currency with an update date, a step by step payment plan, and an honest line about when the data was checked. The platform earns money only from a closed purchase: it takes nothing from the buyer, the agent, or the local partner.

On the site you can type a request in your own words, for example "an apartment by the sea up to 100 thousand dollars", with no questionnaire and no registration, and get up to six matching listings. After that comes a short request form: name, phone, what interests you, budget, a preferred way to be contacted. A personal expert contacts you within 15 minutes: if the request is not picked up within 15 working minutes a reminder goes to the consultant, and if it is still not picked up after 30 minutes it moves to another specialist.

Yes. In Telegram, Charlie, the platform's AI concierge, answers: she introduces herself right away and honestly says she is a bot if asked directly. As soon as a phone number appears in the conversation, the request enters the same system as requests from the website, and a live person takes over.

The client chooses and buys property. The agent brings the client: their own contact, their own recommendation. The local partner closes the purchase in their own country: viewings, the contract, registration. The developer builds and sells, gives the platform a live price feed, and confirms reservations. The platform runs the catalogue, routes requests, and calculates the money.

Yes. One client request can lead into several countries at once: each country gets its own request card, up to three at a time, and each one lives its own life. For example, while a client is looking at a listing in the UAE, they can also reserve an apartment in Georgia at the same time, and the two never get mixed up on a developer's screen.

Registration is free and open: you sign in through a direct link, with no entry fee and no charge for the dashboard or training. The agent role has no admission committee, because an agent risks nothing and pays nothing, and the quality of their work shows in closed requests, not in a questionnaire.

A personal link and property selections you send to the client in one click. You see what the client opened and reacted to, not just that the email went out. The local partner in the country runs the request while you stay informed at every step. Your share is fixed on the record at handover and is not revised afterwards.

The handoff form asks for name, phone, country, purpose of the purchase, budget, the client's languages, and a comment, together with confirmation that the client consented to passing on their contact. The client is scored on a scale from 0 to 100 at the moment of handoff, and that score decides your share in the request for good: it is never recalculated afterwards. There are two different periods here: a person who follows your personal link is marked as yours for 30 days, while a client you have handed over stays locked to you for 365 days from the moment of handoff and for another year from the date of each of their deals. While the client is locked to you, another agent cannot hand them over.

An agent's share depends on how ready the client was at handoff: 40% at a score of 70 or above (a "hot" client), 35% at a score of 41 to 69, 30% at 40 and below. The money goes through three states: accrued (a 90-day return window applies in case the purchase falls apart; the 90 days are the default, and a particular country may have a different period, shown in the dashboard), available for payout, paid out.

Every agent has a separate link for colleagues (an 8-character code): agents who register through it become your network. Their requests owe a network share out of a separate pool: 5% of the whole deal commission. The pool is carved out of the platform's share (its 20% becomes 15%) and does not reduce the shares of the agent or the local partner. The pool is split across the levels like this: 70% to the first level, 20% to the second, 5% to the third, 3% to the fourth, 2% to the fifth. There is one exception: if a partner brought the client in through their own link and closed the deal themselves, no pool is created on that deal at all, and the person who invited them is owed nothing from it. Paying for the mere fact of an invitation is forbidden: money in the network only ever comes from real purchases.

A flow of enquiries in your country: the platform brings the clients, you run no marketing of your own. A catalogue of vetted new-build projects across 11+ countries, priced in the supplier currency. A request card that shows the stage, the deadline for the next step and who is waiting for whom. Commission on a published plan: the rate is known before the purchase, not after it.

Four conditions must be open at the same time, and the system re-checks each one on every request. Two administrators review the application independently of each other. Identity is checked by a specialized verification service, the company by a live platform employee. The license and admission documents are uploaded with expiry dates: 20 days before expiry a document moves into "expiring" status, and once it expires admission closes automatically. The platform's academy issues a certificate for completed training with its own expiry date.

The "Clients" section lays the cards out as a board of six funnels, one per stage: request, country selection, project, viewing, contract, payment. The order of the columns reflects the real work, not internal CRM settings.

A deposit can be recorded starting from primary contact: it cannot be logged from the New client stage. First accept the assignment and log the result of the call, the card moves into primary contact, and the deposit button becomes available. A contract can only be recorded after the deposit. Clicking "deposit received" is not proof by itself: a package of supporting evidence is attached to the milestone.

60 minutes during your country's working hours. At night the timer honestly pauses and keeps ticking again in the morning, rather than expiring.

A local partner's share is 40% to 50% of the commission, on the same score table as the agent's, only mirrored: the colder the client was at the start, the bigger the share of whoever carried them to the close. For example, at a client score of 82 the partner gets 40%, and at a score of 28, 50%. The money goes through the same three states: accrued, available, paid out.

Project cards in the platform catalogue with prices, building statuses and documents. Enquiries with a client registration that shows who brought the buyer. The status of your clearance documents, in the same form the moderator sees.

Nothing. Listing a card in the catalogue is free; the only payment is a commission on an actually closed purchase, the same one a developer pays any agency. The platform does not sell placement in the results and gives no developer an advantage over a neighbor.

When a local partner requests a reservation, the developer gets a card with a live countdown in the project's own time zone, not the platform's. A second agent trying to reserve the same unit gets a refusal and three alternatives: a race to "who put down the deposit first" is impossible inside the platform.

Today's action queue, projects and their readiness, reservations and deals, client registrations submitted by agents, a comparison of your own prices against the city market, money (expected and received commission, two different figures that never get added together), demand for your listings, and the sales funnel.

A price change larger than 20% is not published quietly: it goes to a human for review, and the old price stays on the storefront in the meantime. A change larger than 30% is blocked outright. A sharp change in the number of available units, and price-list rows the system is not confident belong to a given card, also go to manual review, and an unclear lot status is never published as "available".
