Portland, United States
Second Porch is a pioneering player in the real estate industry, offering a new social vacation home marketplace. Launched in 2009 and headquartered in the United States, the company introduced the first Facebook application designed to help vacation homeowners address the challenges of marketing their properties, primarily issues relating to trust and the hassle of renting to strangers. Additionally, Second Porch facilitates home exchanges among homeowners. Its platform provides users with the ability to search for homes based on location, budget, recommendations, and amenities, as well as their relationship to the owner or former guests.
The most recent funding of $1.50M Series A investment received by Second Porch occurred on 23 March 2010, with backing from Oregon Venture Fund and Starve Ups. The company's innovative approach and user-friendly interface empower homeowners to efficiently display property photos, amenities, and home updates on their profile pages. Furthermore, Second Porch stands out as the first vacation home portal to offer private visibility options for homeowners who prefer to limit viewing access to their friends only.
