Dublin, Ireland — [April 30, 2025] – Anthony McCann, co-founder of the innovative property platform FindQo.ie, recently sat down with Paul from Platinum Property on the Platinum Property Podcast to discuss how FindQo is reshaping the Irish real estate landscape for estate agents, landlords, and tenants alike.
In a candid, wide-ranging conversation, he detailed how FindQo — developed by leading software firm Dev Centre House — is bringing fresh technology, accessibility, and fairness into a market that has long been hampered by outdated systems, overpriced listings, and limited innovation.
“The platforms currently dominating the space are outdated. There’s been a huge gap in tools, transparency, and affordability — and that’s exactly what FindQo is solving,” said FindQo.ie Co-founder on the podcast.
Built to Solve Real Problems in Real Estate
FindQo launched in October 2023 following nearly a year of development and refinement. McCann explained that the platform was born from personal and professional frustrations faced by property owners, renters, and agents alike.
From exorbitant ad fees to poor tenant-screening tools, the market’s shortcomings were clear — and FindQo was designed to close those gaps.
Key Highlights from the Podcast Appearance
Free Listings for Everyone
- Estate agents and private individuals can list up to two properties for free — permanently.
- Setup takes under 5 minutes, with FindQo offering backend image optimization to ensure listings look polished and professional.
Tenant Resume System
- McCann introduced Tenant.ie, FindQo’s sister platform that lets renters create a verified, shareable rental history profile.
- Tenants can showcase references, employment, and payment history — all from one secure link.
- “It’s like a credit score for renters — we’re giving them a real advantage,” McCann noted.
Commercial and Residential Tools
- FindQo now includes:
- A Free Valuation Tool for residential property owners.
- An Office Space Calculator, just launched, to help estimate commercial leasing or sales values based on live market data.
Marketing That Works — Without Breaking the Bank
The conversation also touched on how traditional agents often spend €3,000+ per month on Google ads with little visibility into results. McCann contrasted this with FindQo’s cost-efficient strategy:
- €95/month subscription gives agents access to up to 10 direct leads from valuation tools and inquiries.
- SEO and targeted digital marketing are handled by the platform to increase listing exposure.
“Agents are telling us: ‘We saw you on Google, on Facebook, in sponsored ads.’ That shows our marketing is working — and we help our users benefit from that visibility,” said McCann.
Safety, Trust, and Modernization
McCann also addressed rampant online scams in the rental sector, especially in Facebook groups. To combat this:
- FindQo uses human verification, ID checks, and listing audits before publication.
- Listings flagged by users are quickly investigated to maintain safety and integrity on the platform.
Software Roots and Ongoing Evolution
FindQo’s parent company, Dev Centre House, boasts over 12 years of software development experience. With a team of 30+ developers, FindQo deploys weekly updates to ensure the platform evolves rapidly in response to user feedback.
“We don’t just fix what’s broken — we preempt problems and build smarter tools before they’re needed,” McCann explained.
A Platform for Agents, Renters, and Everyday Sellers
Whether you’re listing your family home, managing multiple rentals, or searching for your next apartment, FindQo has a tool — and a vision — to help.
“We’re not here to just participate in the market — we’re here to improve it,” said McCann.
