“The core product is still the same. We were still very much into real estate, but before we were servicing a lot of real estate photographers. But we pivoted and went and go after the real estate agents themselves.”
“For your audience to know we are actually doing post production work for a lot of these real estate visuals from your photo editing, video editing, floor plans, you know, 3D, CGI, things of that nature.”
“We have about 2,000 realtors that are paying us. It's not that consistent. Hence, we want them to subscribe to because right now, it's a pay per service. So, they are in a pay as you go model but we have 2,000 of them doing pay as you go. Some of them spend $100, some of them spend $10.”

“revastaff is a two sided marketplace. We we have photographers in the platform and we supply them with the post production staff like editors and floor plan artists and CGI artists and things of that. And mostly these are people from The Philippines, Vietnam, and India. And most of these real estate photographers are in The US.”
“It's a a dollar retail. So if you're a new customer, we we we charge you $1 per photo, and each house is usually, like, 30 to 40 photos each house. So it's it's about, no, 30 to $40 for the photos. And then if they would want to add floor plans with that, it's $10 per floor plan.”
“It just started with one and I was just the one making the floor plan for that guy. And that guy started to hire photographers under him.”
