Not because opportunity was scarce. Because access was.
Technology has transformed how we communicate, travel, shop and work. Yet the way we invest in real-world assets has barely changed at all.
The Tressel platform is a trading marketplace for real-world assets, designed for everyday Kiwis to discover, invest in, trade and manage ownership interests.
One platform. Many markets.
Residential property is first. Each new class runs on the same licensed, market-tested platform.

How Housies works
Worked example: an $800,000 property with a 2% minimum deposit.
A Property Co. is set up to assess, buy and manage the home. Once the agreement is signed, it raises investment over 60–90 days. If the full amount isn't secured, all funds are refunded.
The Guardian — the person who lives there — applies, and if accepted invests as much as they can afford, no less than 2% of the offer price.
The Guardian signs an Occupation Licence at 4% p.a. on the share value they don't own ($784,000). It is not a tenancy. They can buy more shares on the secondary market over time.
Investors receive quarterly property dividends plus anticipated capital growth, and can sell their shares on the Tressel secondary market.
*Returns are projected and not guaranteed. Capital growth is based on the 30-year historical average from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand M10 housing data (March 1996 to March 2026 quarters).
