Current Competition and Market

Our business is built upon service and volume of transactions.  The business gets more profitable as the volume grows and so does your income.  There are many real estate photographers, floor plan companies and website companies but there is no company other than Pixilink Solutions Ltd. throughout Canada that does it all in house.  Real Estate Agents have to call 3-4 different providers to get marketing services done for their house and then coordinate to get them all right.  With Pixilink all they need to do is call one number or go online and have everything taken for them.

Top 10% of agents control 90% of the real estate market and that is our target market as those are the ones that utilize our services. Top Real Estate Agents have a marketing plan to market their homes which at a minimum includes professional photographer. Top agents work with reputable and reliable companies as it affects their personal reputation and they don’t go for the cheapest option.

They go for companies that provide the best bang for their buck and that’s what Pixilink is.  There is lots of competition in the photography department, but interesting enough that is the department we do the most sales and have the highest profits.   Our primary competition is freelance photographers.  Freelance photographer can shoot but do not have the platforms to deliver, host and provide the service that a real estate agent requires.  They need availability, presentation, quick turnaround, competitive pricing, ability to make feature sheets, sending pictures to their board and more.

Below is a list of key markets that we know Pixilink can strive with the right partner:

  • Calgary, AB
  • Edmonton, AB
  • GTA, ON

Other markets:

  • Victoria, BC
  • Saskatoon, SK
  • Regina, SK
