FAQ:
- Q: How do I sign & return documents
  A: Hey Ralph! We'll be sending along the documents to sign electronically and should have more information on that for you soon. Thx!
- Q: Why doesn’t realtors take photos themselves? Does next door photos participate in other industries (weddings, etc)? Is next door a franchise?
  A: Hi Kevin! Realtors usually do not take their own photos for a couple of reasons 1) They are not professionally trained photographers or editors. Every hour of shooting requires 3-4 hours of editing and requires significant knowledge in complex editing software. 2) (Successful) realtors know their time is much more valuable spent on networking to find new buyers & sellers. 3) With the advent of consumer-facing search portals (Zillow, Realtor.com, etc.) buyers and sellers have come to expec...
- Q: Hi, congratulations on your success so far, and thank you for being a B Corp. The concept seems solid. I have some questions: First, with regard to financial, in one place you say 2019 revenue was around 2 million, and in another you say 4.75M. Can you clear that up? Second, y...
  A: Hi Alan! Thanks for the kind words. Our top-line revenue from all NDP locations was $4.75M in 2019 and the revenue coming to the parent company was $2M. Our model does show profitability taking place in Q2 of this year, yes. The 12-month runway comment was a system default that we'll look at updating--thanks for helping us clear that up. Many of our Local Owners do not have photography backgrounds and would struggle to really scale this type of business without the services and resources the ...
- Q: Hi. What are your revenue goals (not projections) for the next 5 years? Also, why such a high minimum investment amount? It will prevent a lot of interested people from investing. You'll raise a lot faster with a lower minimum (maybe $200) and investors that can afford it will...
  A: Hi Leonardo, The projections are on the last side of the NDP Deck download in the About section as you may have already seen. Projections and goals are similar language for us. Also, we kept the investment amount higher because this is an equity opportunity and involves periodic distributions. Thanks for the questions!
- Q: A few questions: 1. Your G&A expenses double between 2017 and 2018, do you expect the G&A cost to continue to double each year? 2. When do you expect to become profitable? 3. What was your valuation during your 2018 raise? Thanks
  A: Hey Mark! 1. 2017-2019 was a leadership/platform building time period for the team and resulted in a doubling of G&A in 2017 and 2018. Those added roles/platform investments scale significantly and only incrementally increase compared to sales so the expenses do not double. Another factor is that as the already launched NDP Locations will be maturing into a profit share position in the coming months, increasing the top line without increasing the expenses. 2. 2020 is projected to be profi...
