Property hunting is a headache-inducing activity: scouring listings, setting up time for viewings, negotiating the price, up to dealing with administrative requirements. Even e-listings do not alleviate the headache as most published property are with no sufficient information or listed multiple times under different names by the same agents. SpaceStock is here to tackle that problem by bringing the best of both worlds: a one stop solution to showcase thousands of verified properties online, and serve their clients with local property experts that is accountable for customer’s satisfaction.
