Conveyo’s model is to provide infrastructure that realigns incentives between disconnected parties rather than replacing them. By acting as the sole, independent party managing the process end-to-end, they introduce accountability and transparency, making the entire system more efficient.
To onboard professionals with established workflows (like realtors), platforms should minimize friction. Instead of forcing adoption of a new tool, Conveyo uses a lightweight model with email digests and a concierge service. This respects existing habits and lowers the barrier to participation.
