Hi PH! :) Felipe and Camilo, co-founder of Vecindario.
We are happy to be here sharing our experience at Vecindario.
Our goal is clear: Helping every family in LATAM to have a home🏡🚀💫
After 2 and a half years, it feels awesome to know we have achieved what many startups have only dreamed of. We’ll talk about it later. For now, we’ll tell you about what we do in Vecindario and how we innovate day by day.
You may wonder why Vecindario was created.
The problem we are going after basically is, people believe that for buying a home, they need a lot of money and doing a lot of paperwork as well as and even if they have the money they don't know where to start because there is no clarity about the process.
At Vecindario we are thinking outside the box and building technology for families who dream of one thing in common: having their own home and getting the mortgage credit 100% online to eliminate the month-to-month rent from their lives. It is a very inspiring purpose!
We create housing programs with large companies throughout the country, we connect real information from users with projects that families can afford, and even with our data, we are part of the creation of products that will sell faster and where everything can be done 100% online.
That's not all; we connect the different players in the real estate market such as construction companies, banks, pension funds, notaries, trustees, and buyers to help the ecosystem have the technology available to everyone, where we all win.
A story that excites us is knowing that at the end of last year, we decided to do a pilot to sell 223 apartments in record time, and they called us crazy since the average time of sale was 13 months. We managed to do it in just 2.5 months using our infrastructure. And channels. For this reason, we decided to replicate it, and today we are finalizing the sales of two new towers with more than 400 properties sold by Vecindario, also in record time.
On the other hand, with success we are having with the use of our technology, we decided to put it at the service of our clients as if it were a SaaS that allows the constructor to save time in their processes, have greater traceability, make everything virtual, eliminate paperwork and connect the entire ecosystem to reduce sales time and generate greater profitability in construction.
Do you know what the best part is? We can connect all the financial data of each one of you, we will know how much salary you receive in your startups, your savings and without you having to do anything at all, we recommend 5 properties that you could afford that are aligned with your lifestyles and the best, After all, they will not have to deliver a single document to acquire a home and obtain financing.
Today we already have financial information of more than 300,000 users in Colombia, and we are going for more.
Why Vecindario?
We can get anywhere, from Colombia to Australia, we want the purchase of housing to be effective from anywhere in the world, and we are making it a reality starting with Colombia and Latin America, where we have already managed to sell more than 2,500 homes and more than 132 million USD
Today we have the opportunity to change the landscape, the figures we have today regarding the house purchasing after a pandemic bring clarity to continue doing what we dream of. In Colombia alone in 2020, more than 176,000 homes were sold, in 2021 more than 227,000 homes, and in Latin America alone, more than 1 million new homes were sold, representing more than 98 billion USD.
All this is possible thanks to a great team that remains strong, capable of defeating and overcoming paradigms in a sector that is not very digital, and, above all, a team that does not stop experimenting day by day to achieve our goal.
We hope you enjoy our platform, any feedback will be very welcome, and we hope to reach your countries soon.
