June 2015, the team proudly presented their concept “GetYourBricks”. Main idea is to help youngsters and elderly realize their real estate dreams by offering real estate that lends itself to a collective purchase (Co-housing, achat partagé). This way, the buyers can personalize their project while enabling sellers to obtain a decent price for their “stranded” property. Stranded or illiquid since the asset is too big, too much to renovate, too old or whatever prevents the owner to make a quick buck on it. It all fits with the societal idea of livable cities. GetYourBricks plans to provide an online platform offering “stranded “assets to groups of ndividuals. The platform offers sellers an alternative channel (considering 43% of the major real estate is nowadays more than six months on sale) while assisting buyers from beginning until purchase (on invitation information evenings, the composition of the buying groups, recommendations of a architect, evaluation and financial solutions, etc.). The GetYourBricks team organized a first information evening in Co.Station (Brussels) on June 10th, 2015. The short video shows a clear need of, and interest into, this concept.
