Fellow Nestoripolitanos,
The birthday season here at Nestoria continues. This week we celebrate the one year anniversary of the launch Nestoria Italia service!
When we started one year ago little did we know the coming year would see the most dramatic downturn in post-war history. But as the Italian market has grappled with the economic tsunami, and the never-ending excitement of Berlusconi’s party schedule (Surely internet entrepreneurs should be getting invites? Right? No one needs – or deserves – a Mediterranean break more than me) we’ve kept our head down and slowly but surely fine tuned the service.
Many thanks to all the users who have sent us feedback, and to all our our partners (Over the last months we’ve added a few more). We of course still have a very long way to go, but you can rest assured we’re working on it.
For those interested in more detail, Matteo, our resident Italian, has kept things cranking over on the Nestoria Italia blog, and if you speak Italian I highly recommend you subscribe.
Ciao!
Fellow Nestorionos!
Great news, we’ve just gone live with Nestoria Italia!
Just as in the UK and Spain, anyone hunting for a home to buy or rent can now use our simple interface to start their house hunt. In total we have over 250,000 properties all across the country. We’ve partnered with strong on and offline classifieds brands like 123Case, Casa.it, Idealista, Repubblica, Casaclick, Immobiliare, and Trovocasa, and of course we will look to add more partners in the future (as we’ve recently done in the UK).
A big grazie to all the beta testers for the valuable feedback. Please keep it coming (via our Italian feedback form – we know there are still some very rough edges and we still have a lot to learn about how Italians want to search for their next home. There will be lots of fine tuning in our future. But the basics are there:
We look forward to learning from our users and partners! If you’re interested in learning more, yesterday I did a brief interview over at Renthusiast that goes into a bit more detail.
Happy house hunting to our Italian friends!
