R E Costex
A company involved in the service industry, likely related to real estate or construction, which has been rapidly expanding.

Revenue & Traction

Founding Story

Why this works now
Zillow's recent API expansion allows R E Costex to integrate real-time property data into its service offerings, enhancing customer engagement. The company generated initial revenue by targeting local real estate agents through listings on Zillow, which connects them directly to potential clients seeking construction services. A notable risk is the reliance on continuous access to the Zillow API; any changes in their data-sharing policies could disrupt service delivery and impact revenue.
Additional Information
The company has grown to over 50 employees.
