Research: Linear Is a Trailblazer Among Real Estate Platforms

Written by Linear English | Mar 1, 2023 6:00:00 AM

A 2023 industry survey reveals that Linear has rapidly established itself as a leading player in the Finnish real estate sector.

The survey, conducted by Oikotie (owned by internationally recognized Schibsted) was sent to the marketplace's user register in Finland. The results show that Linear is already familiar to 48% of Finnish real estate agents, despite having been on the market for only about a year. More importantly, over half of the agents who are aware of Linear are already active users of the platform – a remarkably high conversion rate that reflects both strong product-market fit and high customer satisfaction.

Linear Receives the Highest Overall Score

The study evaluated perceptions and key attributes of various real estate platforms in Finland. Linear received the highest overall score and was ranked best-in-class in several key areas:

  • Modernity
  • Innovation and forward-thinking
  • Reduction of manual work
  • Continuous product development
  • Delivery of requested features through updates
  • Use of automation and artificial intelligence

Linear’s agile product development model is built on rapid iteration, aligning well with agents’ expectations in the survey responses. New features and updates are rolled out as frequently as every two weeks – a significant contrast to the traditionally slow development cycles in the industry.

“Our approach is intentionally different,” says Miro Eriksson, CEO of Linear, and continues:

“Historically, real estate systems were only updated to fix critical bugs, while core platforms were left untouched for years. At Linear, we’ve thrown that outdated thinking in the bin. We believe real estate professionals deserve better. Our platform is more advanced than many that have been in the market for years — and we’re just getting started. This study confirms we’re on the right path".
