Starting a real-estate office? One thing is live on day one.
Most items on your startup list take weeks and depend on someone else: your professional recognition, the notary, your accountant, the bank. One thing doesn't. The screen in your window that shows your listings, you switch it on today, free.
Updated
The one startup-list item you tick off yourself today
A window screen that automatically shows your listings from Whise, Omnicasa or Zabun. Free up to 3 screens, no per-screen subscription, and nobody has to log in on the screen. You paste a URL on a TV and it runs.
Why this is the easiest starting point
Free up to 3 screens
Exactly the size of a starting office. Free for good, no trial period that expires.
No per-screen subscription
One price per workspace. A window screen and a reception screen together cost the same as a single screen.
Native Whise, Omnicasa and Zabun
Straight from your CRM, no Zapier or middle layer. Sync every fifteen minutes.
No device login
Nothing to install on the screen. You paste a URL on a Smart TV and it runs, also on a borrowed or existing set.
From a blank screen to live listings in ten minutes · No technician, no cable installation
One API key
Whise, Omnicasa or Zabun. One key via Settings, and your listings are in your workspace within ten minutes: photos, price, EPC, surface area and status.
Ready-made for property
Landscape or portrait, with property photo, price, EPC and your logo. Adjust the colours to your brand.
Live on your TV
A QR code appears on the screen. Scan it with your phone, link it to your workspace and the window display is live.
One item you can tick off today
Eight of the ten items above depend on a third party and take weeks. Your window screen doesn't. It reads from the CRM you're setting up anyway and shows your listings to passers-by from day one, also in the evening when the office is closed.
No property sheets to print and replace every week. No per-screen contract. You connect your CRM, pick a real-estate template and the screen refreshes itself every fifteen minutes.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need my professional recognition to put up a window screen already?
No. The screen is independent of your recognition track. Even as a trainee agent you can already show your listings on a window screen. The content remains your responsibility.
Does this work with Whise, Omnicasa and Zabun?
Yes, all three natively. One API key and your listings sync every fifteen minutes, without Zapier or a middle layer.
Do I have to buy the screen from you?
No. gibeon.io only provides the software. You buy the screen yourself from a retailer or a local AV installer, or you bring an existing set.
What does it cost for a starting office?
Free up to 3 screens, for good, with no trial period. If you need more screens or extra features, check the pricing at gibeon.io/plans.
How long does setup take?
Ten minutes to a first listing on the screen. You activate with a QR code, enter your API key and pick a template. No technician.
Does it also work bilingually, for example in Brussels?
Yes. The Omnicasa connection delivers NL and FR feeds. Per screen you choose which language is shown.
