Fellow Nestoriacs!
Today we celebrate: We launched Nestoria in Spain one year ago!
We still have a long way to go, but the our little property search engine has been well received by users, and after 12 months we’re closing in on 200,000 users a month (source: comScore March 2008).
Equally important we’ve built up a great list of partners. We are now aggregating listings from twelve of the top property portals in Spain, and we just added well over 50,000 listings from a new partner yesterday. We also also keeping our focus on usability and metrics all along the way. In addition to all the experience and innovations that we introduced in the UK, specifically for Spain we launched property search by neighbourhoods, like Barris Maritims of Tarragona and by street name, eg. Camino de la Mar en Benidorm. We’ve learned a lot along the way, and we still have much to learn. Please let us know if you have any comments or ideas of what we could do better. For those Nestoria fans interested in more details I recommend you subscribe to our Spanish blog. You find a much more detailed birthday celebration post there. Future international expansion plansWe are now confident that our model can replicate to other countries. We are bracing ourselves for further expansion plans. In a few weeks time, we plan to launch Nestoria Deutschland and Nestoria Italia. More on that soon! Hasta pronto, mi amigos!
