Solving the Lead Discovery Problem

A deep dive into the challenges faced by property investors and how Gumtree Monitor provides an automated solution.

The Problem

Time-Consuming Manual Search

Property investors spent hours manually browsing Gumtree listings, often missing the best deals.

Missed Opportunities

By the time a great listing was found, it was often already gone—snatched by faster competitors.

Agent vs. Owner Confusion

No easy way to distinguish between private sellers and estate agents flooding the platform.

The Solution

Automated Scraping

Continuous monitoring of new listings with sub-10-minute update cycles.

Lead Quality Scoring

Intelligent classification of sellers as Gold, Good, Average, Bad, or Invalid.

Instant WhatsApp Alerts

Real-time notifications delivered directly to your phone when a matching listing appears.
