NoBroker.com is a Bangalore based real estate search portal that connects flat owners and tenants directly with each other.[1][2] The company does not charge any brokerage from either parties.[3] Founded in 2014, the company has 4 lac users, which it claims are genuine owners and home seekers. It is operational in 5 cities namely, Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Chennai and Gurugram[4].[5][6]
NoBroker was founded by IIT and IIM Ahmedabad graduates, Amit Kumar Agarwal, Akhil Gupta & Saurabh Garg because they claimed that brokers do not add value in the real estate transaction and still charge heavy brokerage.[1][2][6] NoBroker claims to work on the backbone of a technology that identifies and bans brokers. Early 2014 NoBroker started operations in Mumbai.[7] As on date NoBroker has operations in Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Chennai and Gurugram.[8][9]
In February 2014, the company raised $3M in series A from SAIF Partners and Fulcrum Venture India, venture capital companies in India.[3][10] NoBroker had started as a rental platform but it recently forayed into brokerage free buy/sell property as well.[11][12] In February 2016 NoBroker has closed series B funding of $10M from Japan-based BeeNext.[13]
NoBroker.com created an algorithm which identifies and bans brokers from the portal.[14] They offer services like creating and registering rental agreements and getting it home delivered.[14]
The company also has an Android app with a crowd sourcing feature called 'click and earn'.[15]
According to some media reports the company’s office in Bangalore was attacked by local brokers.[16]
