Akiya

A platform that works for your municipality.

More buyers see your listings. The right buyers claim the subsidies you've already budgeted. You stay in control.

What we offer

National + international reach

Surfaced through one bilingual portal. No geoblocks.

Higher data quality

We visit each property in person, score renovation potential, and shoot proper photos. Licensed condition grading comes from our partner network.

Subsidy claim support

Buyers actually claim what's been budgeted. We walk them through it.

Zero cost to participate

No fees, no contract minimums, no exclusivity.

What doesn't change

You retain authority over which properties are listed.

You set residency, primary-use, and eligibility conditions — we surface them clearly.

You can withdraw any listing at any time, no questions asked.

The data is yours. Exportable at any time. No lock-in.

A long-term option, on your timeline

As trust grows, some municipalities choose to make us their primary listing channel rather than maintain separate infrastructure. That choice is always yours, on your timeline. We never demand exclusivity.
