MagicEvent

Seed Round in 2015
Real estate agencies and individuals can use the advertising platform MAgicEvent.com. Submitting an advertisement is free. In this way, you will be sure to find all the offers on the market which originate from an agency or an individual. The contact details of the owner, real estate agency and the accommodation are never published, therefore, avoiding cold calling and thus, protecting their privacy. The tenant can select his/her accommodation and pay directly online as easily as a hotel room. The website guarantees that the accommodation is fit for occupation. The owner will only be paid in full 48 hours after the arrival of the tenant. Each accommodation has been analysed and we have given it an objective score from 1 to 5 MAgic stars, which can be compared to the star ratings of hotels. This objective score (MAgic exclusivity) does not have an official value. It takes into account the configuration of the accommodation (surface area of the rooms, number of bathrooms compared to the number of beds, surface area of the accommodation compared to the number of beds, date of renovation, etc.) as well as the equipment of the accommodation declared by the owner. In addition to this objective score, comments and favourites (hearts) of the previous tenants will help you with your selection. In this way, you can book an accommodation with 3 stars - 5 hearts, which is best of 3 stars. MAgicEvent.com also offers a number of local services to accompany you during your business trip: airport/exhibition centre transfers, interpreters, assistance, concierge service, events, etc. Following the same principle as the owner, the service providers can also place an advertisement on the website for free.
