LetsGetHome Debuts as Hong Kong’s First On-Demand Apartment Rental Platform


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 July 2024 – LetsGetHome, a pioneering platform in Hong Kong, is revolutionizing the traditional real estate market with its tailored apartment rental services, transparent pricing, and cutting-edge AI technology.

Enhanced Apartment Search with AI-Powered Tools

LetsGetHome’s innovative approach is driven by its proprietary AI Matching Algorithm, which leverages machine learning to analyze historical data and user interactions. This advanced technology delivers highly personalized property suggestions, ensuring that users find the perfect match for their rental needs quickly and efficiently.

Complementing this, “Mable”, an intelligent chatbot, streamlines early listing inquiries and automates interactions, providing a smarter, faster, and user-friendly experience in real estate transactions. These AI-driven features not only enhance user satisfaction but also set a new standard in the rental market.

Breaking the Norm of Agent Commission Charges

In November 2023, the Hong Kong antitrust watchdog revealed commission tricks in the real estate market. Major agencies are allegedly ‘price-fixing’ a 2% commission rate, damaging market competition and customer interests. LetsGetHome challenges this practice by offering a fairer alternative.

Innovative User-Centric Rental Model in Hong Kong

In a market dominated by high commissions and opaque practices, LetsGetHome provides a user-centric approach, allowing tenants and landlords to choose specific services and pay only for what they use. This model ensures significant savings and a more personalized rental experience.

“Whether you’re searching online or contacting agents, have you considered an agency that customizes its services to your needs? With over 3,000 licensed agencies and 7,000+ shops in Hong Kong, finding such a service can be tough,” said Christal Wong, CEO of LetsGetHome. “At LetsGetHome, we know finding the perfect rental in Hong Kong can be stressful. We’re here to make it easier with personalized options and clear pricing. By offering customizable rental services, we empower users to make informed decisions without the burden of excessive fees.”

Fairer and Affordable Rental Service Charges

LetsGetHome introduces a zero-commission rental platform where landlords can publish rental apartments online for free, facilitating direct contact between tenants and landlords. For agency services, LetsGetHome charges only 25% of one month’s rent, paid solely by landlords, eliminating tenant commissions. Their pay-per-use service model includes options like VR viewing, lease renewal contracts, and moving services, ensuring transparent and quality service pricing.

13 years, 13 trading tips: sharing Octa’s experience. Part 1


KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 July 2024 – Octa, a financial broker with globally recognised licenses, celebrates its 13th birthday this summer. In some cultures, the number 13 has a special significance. For example, the Chinese omit the thirteenth floor in multi-level buildings as unlucky. The Japanese, on the other hand, associate this number with good fortune. In a series of three articles, the experts at Octa will share 13 time-proven and well-tested tips—one for each year of the broker’s successful track record in the financial markets. These recommendations aim to help improve trading outcomes and progress towards financial goals. The number 13 may or may not possess supernatural qualities, but following these 13 recommendations will very likely bring better results in trading!

Octa

Below is the first of three articles. In this series, the experts at Octa share 13 practical recommendations based on the broker’s 13 years of experience in the market.

The first article outlines five crucial elements that will help form a firm foundation for trading success.

1. Acquiring theoretical knowledge to unlock new practical opportunities

Octa continuously studies its clients’ experiences to gain first-hand insights into the traders’ minds and finetune its products and services to their demands. A vast majority of Octa’s clients who achieved consistent profits indicate continuous learning as one of the cornerstones of their success. They read trading content online, sign up for dedicated educational courses, and study the strategies of professional traders to keep up with the best practices.

Another factor of success that many emerging traders underestimate is having a fluent knowledge of basic financial concepts. For example, learn to calculate potential profits and losses for a given order based on the lot price and spread amount to be able to use risk management tools properly. Likewise, know how the support and resistance levels work and what the candlestick patterns are to be able to identify potential entry points correctly. In trading, as in any other comprehensible system of knowledge, advanced techniques are unlocked step-by-step. Progressing along the learning curve is only possible if start by mastering ground-level concepts.

Octa offers various educational resources, including its YouTube channel, which boasts more than 1 million subscribers, and a broad scope of educational materials available within its proprietary trading platform, OctaTrader.

2. Keeping emotions under lock and key

Many professional traders compare their ideal mental state during a trading session to the workings of a robotic assembly line. Each movement is time-efficient, precise, and purposeful. Each sequence of actions leads to a measured, predictable result. There are no impulsive or chaotic moves, and nothing is left to chance. In a perfect world, your trading sessions would look like that, too.

Alas, reality imposes its own—imperfect—conditions. One day, you may be tired after work. Another day, you feel fine, and brain functions like clockwork—but the market is feverish with wild fluctuations, and your predictions fail time and again.

This is where self-discipline and the right mindset come into play. One can’t control the market environment, but one definitely can control own emotions—and make sure they don’t undermine the efforts put into achieving consistently positive results.

3. Establishing a solid risk management strategy

In trading, potential profits always have a reverse relation to risks. In other words, one can only achieve significant gains by exposing capital to a proportionate degree.

Risk management techniques are part of any successful trader’s toolkit. The concept of risk in trading is based on risk tolerance—or the amount of loss prepared to handle. The risk tolerance depends on the starting capital and long-term financial goals. In their turn, these factors define the choice of trading instruments.

For example, if your goal is to obtain a supplementary source of income without delay, you may consider Forex trading, which allows traders with modest starting capital to gain regular income for day-to-day purposes.

4. Improving time-efficiency

Less experienced traders often spend an excessive amount of time comparing expert predictions and trying to validate their decisions. However, the vast field of trading information available online is very diverse in terms of quality and trustworthiness, so it’s no wonder that obtaining valid and actionable trading advice becomes an uphill battle.

To solve this problem, Octa embedded a dedicated feed with curated expert content into its proprietary trading platform, OctaTrader. This toolkit is called Space and is currently available for all OctaTrader clients across all regions of the broker’s operation. With Space, OctaTrader now offers a customisable stream of actionable trading recommendations that you can transfer to your chart in a few clicks.

5. Learning from the mistakes of others

In trading, as in life, mistakes are inevitable. Given that, studying various lifehacks allows navigation to the most notorious pitfalls and keep away from trouble. You don’t have to make all the mistakes in the book and learn the hard way. Instead, choose a broker with extensive educational capabilities—and study typical client cases, reinforcing the acquired knowledge on demo account if needing additional first-hand experience.

Octa

In the next instalment of our three-piece mini-series presenting 13 crucial trading recommendations, we will give a short list of the most impactful skills that allow successful traders to achieve consistency and turn trading into a steady source of supplementary income in a reasonable amount of time.
