How Goabizzle came around Goabizzle was set up in the Year 2010. During our move from Dubai to Kuwait...I was down in Goa for a visa change. An old friend of mine now settled in the UK came for a visit. We got chatting and she was the one who suggested i get into the real estate business. She gave me a couple of contacts. The next day i called them and made appointments...and started out working on the idea and giving serious thought of what my business model was going to be. At that point in time, I did not even have a website. I put my ideas accross to some of the developers I met and they were extremely positve and instantly encouraged me. I then went back to Kuwait and personally started working on my website. I was no genius in making a website and I learnt from scratch and put up a very simple yet informative website - i bought the domain name Goabizzle.com. My husband and myself came up with the motto of Goabizzle "Efficiency means Business" and we designed our own logo at home. From there things did not stop, I had a lot of support from my dearest husband, then of course many builders who are now my friends who believed in my venture,  I also appreciate all those who helped me promote my new website and a lot of other people who have helped me grow and become what i am today. My old website made by me did attract lots and lots of clients - finally after 2 years - we recently decided that Goabizzle desperately needed a facelift - and i contacted an owner of a Goa based website designer company to help me out. Since my venture was started in a very unique way. Yes i did face a lot of challanges. Competitors used to send threating emails telling me to stop my business as i was “spoiling” the Goan market and of course their business (as you know unlike other agents - i do not charge the person buying thru me any commission). But of course this did not stop me i just got stronger and wiser. I remember a time, when a Goan competitor having roots in the UK thought he had marketing rights to a developers property and just to get back to me got my website frozen. Anyway with the kind help of the developer itself my website was restored back after 15 odd days. So yes launching Goabizzle has not been an easy ride for me. But unfortunately all the hurdles you come accross in life just made be more stronger and made even more determind
