Avvie - Simon Mahfoud, Nicholas Giambra & Matthew Brigante, Founders

Avvie is an online real estate platform for agents to submit, accept, and manage all their offers in one platform. We take the painstakingly tedious and mundane tasks that both selling and buying agents go through in today's process of making an offer on a house and put them into a simple, easy-to-use platform. Avvie makes it easier to manage your offers, understand escalation clauses, and streamline communication with other agents while fitting into any agent's workflow, providing a more professional presentation to their clients. 

On average, agents spend around 12.5 hours per listing on offer day. Agent's tasks include organizing offers, responding to buyer's agents, negotiating, and presenting to clients. Full-time real estate agents average three listings per month, equating to around 37.5 hours per agent per month on administrative tasks. The two solutions currently available for this problem are hiring an admin for yourself or a team which results in costly overhead, or a CRM tool that forces you to change your work style to fit their tool.

Our proprietary technology automatically imports your listings from the MLS, scans offers, and creates a simple and intuitive dashboard to manage the demand of offer day. Agents are notified via an SMS notification of all related events (customizable) and can share the dashboard with their clients, allowing Avvie to manage the minute-to-minute updates.

We realize as a real estate agent, you need to know the market demand better than anyone. Avvie brings competitive intelligence, data, and analytics to your fingertips. Find out what properties are selling for above or below market prices, and get detailed insight into how much interest there is in any area.

Avvie is a platform founded on the principle that real estate should be simple and transparent. We build tools that empower  real estate agents to submit, accept and manage all of their offers in one place while saving time and providing an intuitive experience.

Favordrop -  Jack Sardinia, Co-founder/CEO

Over 30% of gift cards are never redeemed.  Americans are holding on to over $21B in unused gift cards.  Corporations send out millions in gift cards to customers and prospects with no insight into whether those gift cards were redeemed or how much of their gifting budget was wasted.  Favordrop solves this problem.  

With our patent around the "bounce back", all unused Favordrops return to the sender at the expiration date to be re-used on the platform to whomever and wherever the sender chooses.  For corporations this eliminates all gifting waste, while also increasing the touch points with their customers base by over 200%.  A core mission of Favordrop is to drive corporate gifting to local merchants.  To date, Favodrop already has the likes of Northtown Auto, Walsh Duffield Insurance, Basil Automotive, Trusted Nurse Staffing and Howard Hanna Real Estate using Favordrop as their gifting platform.  We are also approaching 50 local merchants on the platform as well.  Going into 2023 our plan is to scale to over 30 corporations and 200 merchants in WNY...then move on to our next city of choice!
