Bilateral Marketplace — Getting Started
Onoots’ bilateral marketplace has two sides, both operated by the brokerage:
- Side A · Inventory — the developer supplies inventory; the inventory desk liquidates it (absorption of stale units).
- Side B · Buying — the buyer defines what they want; the buying desk represents them (a fiduciary Buyer Desk, with a success fee on the savings).
Pick your role below. Each flow is anchored in the Bilateral Marketplace architecture and the AI Swarm.
Side A · Inventory
🧑💼 Inventory desk (agent)
You operate the developer’s inventory and work to liquidate stale units.
Connect the developer’s inventory
Sync the project lots (available state). Each candidate captures an immutable price snapshot on creation — the baseline for the success fee.
Run absorption
The system detects stale units and builds absorption scenarios (“a discount costs less than idle inventory”).
Define targets
Flag the target lots. They feed the bilateral bridge: they get matched against buyer briefs.
Track aggregated demand
When the buying desk forms cohorts, you receive block offers with count, band, and total — never buyer identities.
🏗️ Developer
You supply inventory and receive aggregated demand.
Publish your inventory
Load the project’s available lots through your inventory desk.
Receive absorption insights
See which units are stale and the proposed discount/absorption scenarios.
Evaluate block offers
You receive block offers (aggregated demand from several buyers with a signed BRA). Accept, counter, or decline — you only see aggregated demand, not identities.
Side B · Buying
🧑💼 Buying desk (agent)
You represent the buyer with a fiduciary Buyer Desk.
Create the buyer brief
In Dashboard → Buyer Desk → New Brief: goal (first-home / rental), cash, zone, jurisdiction. See Buyer Desk.
Let the swarm source
An AI swarm matches internal inventory + developer lots + off-market, and scores candidates.
Verify compliance gates
Fail-closed: the brief stays blocked until you verify the jurisdiction’s gates (AML/KYC, etc.). See Compliance Gates.
Reveal with the BRA
Before the BRA, candidates are masked (zone, band, score). Once the BRA is signed, the unit’s identity is revealed.
Form cohorts (swarm buying)
Group buyers with a signed BRA in the same project into a cohort; the system prepares a block offer (draft).
Present with dual-agency
Presenting the block offer requires a recorded dual-agency sign-off (fail-closed). The success fee is computed on the negotiated savings.
🧑 Buyer
You define what you want and the brokerage represents you.
Submit your brief
Directly with an agent, or via the public B2C intake (form → triage → brief).
Sign the BRA
Before any unit is revealed to you, you sign the Buyer Representation Agreement (anti-bypass). You receive single-use discount tokens.
Review the revealed candidates
See the units matching your brief, now with identity revealed.
(Optional) Join a cohort
If there’s overlapping demand in a project, your agent can add you to a cohort to negotiate a better-priced block offer (swarm buying).
Close
The deal moves into the standard Onoots pipeline; the success fee is charged on the negotiated savings.
The whole flow is fail-closed: the BRA, the fee sign-off, and dual-agency block until a licensed professional or counsel signs off. See the regulatory gates in the architecture.
