Real Estate startups in the USA

Am just trying to (from memory) put down the various categories of RE startups popular in the US of A. Curiosity more than anything else:

1) Redfin/ Trulia/ Zillow: Classic broker driven marketplaces with a whole lot of data. Free for customers, charge brokers. Large listed companies

2) Urban Compass: Will assign the customer an agent for a personalised apartment search. Charge customer as well. Kick-ass model

3) Lovely/ Cozy: Rental marketplace where you can find homes for rent & also manage the rental payments etc

4) Realty Mogul: Crowdfunding real estate projects (using a trustee company which acts on behalf of all the people who contribute funds)

5) CompStak: Crowd sources lease rate data in the ultra competitive commercial leasing space. Uses an innovative method whereby brokers provide the data in exchange for access to data from others. Charges banks/ funds for access to the valuable data

6) 42Floors etc: Focussing on commercial leasing with very high end & close-to-real pics

7) Floored: Helps create videos for your space using 3D technology

Phew...thats a helluva lot of models and I am sure I have missed a few more
